LOL, is that the best argument you could come up with? M$ Money hats EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

Its called advertising and that is how you get your product out to the mass market. And THE reason everyone knows what Halo3 is. Any "Cultural Icon" you have now days is there because of advertising, and guess what someone had to pay for it.

I never said they moneyhatted anything.  That was pretty much the Jest of your argument.

I said they paid millions upon millions for the amount of advertising.  And GT5 wont?

And no, not everyone gets "cultural icon" status from paying for it.  Now days advertising is the biggest factor.

@pbroy, show me some killzone coke can? Like i highlighted.  KZ2 will never be a Cultural Icon so you wont see one.

 

Like my previous post stated, I own several of the GT games.  I love the series actually but it will never be as big as Halo is.  And there is nothing wrong with that.  I don't see any other racing games ever coming close to the popularity of the GT series this GEN.
