gt5 can only dream of reaching HALO 3 type numbers. HALO 3 is a cultural icon, especially in America.

There are other racers like FORZA 3 giving gt5 competition.

Don't fool yourself -
gt5 won't be that much better than forza 3..if at all.

Remember, FORZA 2 got a 90 on metacritic, whil gt prologue only got 82

So.....Halo is a "cultural icon" and Gran Turismo is just another racing game? WoW...

 

 

When was the last time you saw GT on the side of a Coke can?  I am not saying GT is just another racing game, because it was a leader for its time.   But it is no where near as well known as the Halo franchise is with the general public.  

When was the last time SONY paid out millions and millions of dollars for that to happen?

 

That's not even partially comparable to the amount of marketing Halo 3 had.

 

Hush!!! Your derailing the point. He asked when the last time sony paid millions. ¬_¬
