I dont think some people understand why GT and Halo sells. The same rules that govern why Halo:Reach will sell 10 Million are not the same rules that govern why GT5 will or will not sell 10 million. They arer 2 entirely different games and their sales are decided by competely different parameters. The only thing tying them together is that thery are the flagship titles of their repective companies and fanboys would like to see the game they support succeed while the other one fails.

 

And to the person that said "GT was never bigger than Halo" and used attach ratios to prove his point. So because the PS1 and 2 sold 100 million consoles a peice means that GT needs a 25% attach ratio or higher to be bigger than halo? it just goes to show that the userbase back then was diverse. Using your analogy it would mean that during the PS1 and PS2 eras each GT game would have to sell 25 million copies in order for the series to be bigger than halo, its not plausible. As far as which gaming franchise is "bigger" just look at 24hrs le mans races, notice on all the cars there's a GT logo at the top of the windshield? Not to take anything away from Halo but, GT is a brand, Halo is a Game, even if they sell the same amount, they sell the same amout for different reasons.
