Gran Turismo isn't a household name (Why? because humans cannot identify with cars). Halo is, however Gran Turismo will push PS3 console sales for racer fans. Gran Turismo TV will also be a major attraction on PSN. Sony doesn't have a main character which gamers can identify as a household name, who isn't third party.
Gran Turismo won't outsell Halo on the basis of installed base activity. |
That's pretty subjective, AND far fetched. Kratos is widly known by gamers along with the newly acquired Sackboy. What about Ratchet and Clank, Jak & Daxter?....You get my point, they've got main, known characters just like every other company. They may not be as popular as say Mario or Master Chief, but they are there and known.

Kratos is known to gamers, but isn't a household name my friend. Household names can sell systems on their own. Kratos cannot sell a system. When we think of Action movies, the first name that comes to mind is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Rachet and Clank is a third party title. During the PSX era Crash Bandicoot was a household name. Even my Grandmother knew who Crash Bandicoot was....oh well...too bad Sony didn't stick with what worked.
Nintendo is the only company that has multiple household names which could sell consoles on their own.

Kratos can't sell systems? Even YOU know that's not true. Sony owns the Ratchet IP, therefore Ratchet is their's not 3rd Party.

GOW2 was insignificant as a top game by the time the PS3 arrived the game didn't really matter. You're meaning to tell me the PS2 has over 100 million consoles sold, and not even 5 million people will buy GOW? Come on man, you're better than this.
|
GOW is one of the Playstation's most known franchises, are you really disputing that?
|
To gamers, it's a known franchise thats on Sony's list of 1st party IP's; however, it isn't a system seller.
