User base to sw sales. 

GC - 24m - SSBM - 7.08
Wii - 72m -  SSBB - 9.49

So many more consoels yet not that many more sales. 

Most people that bough a GC are hardcore, the Wii is a different story... Also Wii is the most pirated system after PC. And by the time Halo 3 came out it still had less sales than Xbox 1, yet sold faster. Funny how that works.

Did you just prove his argument? 

PS2 = casuals and pirated.

PS3 = Mostly "hardcore" and not pirated.

 

Oh look at that.

I never said that PS2 was a casual console, although its probably true that most casual PS2 owners bough a Wii instead of a PS3. However racing games are actually huge in the causal market, so i don't know what your point is. Less gamers = less games sold. Now i do not think GT5 will do bad, i just don't think it will do better than Halo Reach, since its obvious that it will do better than MW2 (for Xbox 360).

Tell me why it's obvious Halo Reach will sell better than MW2. I mean, Cod (MW) is clearly a bigger franchise than Halo now...

I don't know exact numbers, but if you think back at Halo 3 the 360 had only sold like 18 million consoles or so? Yet in the first week it sold almost 4 million copies, MW2 "only" sold like 5 million even though the install base was twice as big.

Also exclusives do sell better than multi platform games and Halo is about as big as it gets when it comes to a exclusive franchise (outside of Nintendo). When Halo Reach comes, 360s install base will be bigger than it was when MW2 came and Halo Reach probably score higher on meta critic. As for marketing, M$ marketing when it comes to Halo games are huge. Halo Reach will be the best sold 360 game period, GT5 might be the best sold PS3 game, but i still doubt it will outsell Halo Reach.

When GT5 releases PS3's userbase will be much bigger than PS2's was when GT3 released...and that sold 14-15 million copies. Just imagine what GT5 will sell...

 

...

Yea but see the 360 users are hardcore who like halo and PS3 are hardcore and it's casuals only buy GT5. 

 

Thought I would answer for him.

Lol. That's absolutely true!

i don't agree. im no casual fan and will be getting GT5!
