Some big jumps for some games from last week!

However GT5 went down by 2k. For whatever reasons the person who does the pre-order charts has decided to ignore Gt5 release date for the 3rd week in a row.

But for those who want to compare it to other games this week marks the 17th week until release for it.

At 17th week Halo reach was at 240k as you can see from Giggs' chart.

This is Americas preorder charts.

If we analyze the numbers, we see Halo 1-3 as well as ODST has Americas sales accounting for 72-80% of its total sales.

For GT we see americas sales for GT-GT4 plus prologue has between 20-30% sans GT3 A-spec which launched with a bundle in 2001.

WW id say theyre a good comparison, but honestly comparing preorders for a racing simulator on PS3 against Halo in America as some type of benchmark is the defination of lame, imo.

Sorry mate but i couldn't disagree with you more. You can't say "oh you can't compare a fps game with a racing game" as that is just looking for excuses. Both Halo and GT are massive franchises ALL OVER THE WORLD! I am sick to death of this whole Halo only sells in US, GT only sells in europe thing as it is total bollocks.

Right now if we use only Vgc figures on this website Halo 3 is the top selling exclusive game in europe. 2nd overall in all games this gen. If being 2nd doesn't show people outside europe like Halo then wtf does?!

 

 

No, if both sell about 10 million WW and 80% of Halo sales are in the states, and 20% of GT in the states comparing the American sales of the two as a benchmark to success is RETARDED.

I didnt even read the rest of your novel because you started babbling some shit no one ever said about Halo not selling anywhere else.

I never once said "Halo only sells" in the US, look matey, its simple. We all know your comparison was a backhand at GT, thats fine, but its fucking laughable and stupid if you took 10 seconds to check out % of WW sales accounted for in the region.

Its astonishing you feel comparing a franchise that sells almost twice as much as another in a certain region is valid.

EDIT: Non heavily bundled of course. As we all fondly remember GT3 and GT were bundled heavily bundled. I cant remember if GT2 was or not.
