Sonys had series that sold more than Halo AND Gears.

 

Well just one series.  And it was filled to the brim with licenses, without which it wouldn't have sold a tenth as much.

U mean if gt did not have so many licensed cars it would not be successful in my opinion u r totally wrong gt is not only famous for number of cars it is also famous 4 its quality and simulation and different types of races

If GT used purely fantasy cars (like Ridge Racer) and no licenses, it would be a niche series.  The appeal isn't just in the game design or simulation aspects, it's in the massive variety of real makes and models available.
