| gekkokamen said: Halo Reach is a win-win (sales-critical reception). GT5 will sell bucketloads too, but where it will outdo Halo Reach is moving hardware. Also, GT5 will be more revolutionary for a racing game than Halo Reach for a FPS. But who's gonna make more profit in the end between developers? definitely Bungie and Microsoft. GT5 is much much bigger, expensive, and took almost 4 years to complete. Halo Reach will recoup R&D costs just with pre-orders, GT5 not so much (although GT5:Prologue helped a lot). |
I don't actually think either game will have much of a noticeable impact on hardware. If someone is such a diehard fan of Gran Turismo then they most likely already have a PS3 and have been playing GT5P for a few years now.
With such healthy, respectable libraries as both consoles have the primary reasons people buy a new console at this stage in the gen are cost and the accumulated library, not a single game that they've been waiting for.
Of course both will sell shitloads of copies, nobodies debtaing that...
