People still goin at it in here? What's the deal, Gran Turismo is big, plain and simple. Let's move on now.

Did you actually read the OP? He made the comparison of Gran Turismo 5 on the PS2 to Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 showing they are near equivalents in NA sales to prove Gran Turismo 5 is big in America. You don't see the fallacy in that argument?

GT5 on PS3.... I know, just a typo, don't shoot me!!!

I did see the fallacy in that argument, but I'm just saying the game IS big here. Whether or not it's as big as Halo here, that's another matter in which case, if he says it is, I happily disagree. GT is big WW, but Halo RULES NA, period!

So what I wonder is if the OP's argument is that poor, why is the majority of people in this thread defending his OP, bringing in Forza Motorsport, still comparing it to Halo, and bringing in worldwide sales? Really most of this thread has been a gigantic group effort to skate around the issue, which is that regardless of GT being "big" in America, it's nowhere near as big as Halo and it is currently in a state of decline. You'd like to think people didn't play their console political sides so close to the chest, but that seems to be the case here...and yes, that includes Squilliam too.

How in the world is Gran turismo in a state of decline? When GT4 is selling extreemly well to date, and GT5 prologue is nearing 4 million copies sold?!
