Simple math would dictate that Halo Reach will outsell GT 5 by a fairly large margin barring GT5 getting bundled at some point.

Halo 2 sold 8 million on an install base of 25 million. GT4 sold 14 or so million on an install base of 130 million (roughly).

Halo 3 sold almost 11 million and it launched to an install base of around 18-20 million.

With the current hardware numbers for Sony and MS I don't see how GT has any shot at beating Halo this gen....unless of course it gets bundled.

For people arguing based on install bases, has this gen (or even last gen) taught you anything?  Install base really means little other than setting a maxium sale barrier, one that is never reached.  I mean if install base alone meant more sales, than no game on the Wii should have a problem hitting 1-2 mil units sold.

 

Attach ratio means nothing.  The bigger the install base, the more diverse the gamer demographic.
