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.

well i am also saying about the real cars plus quality,simulation and different types of races :). Some people like rally,some like ordinary race some like to race with same car these were the features present in gt so different type of people play it who like different races and now with gt5 they have added nascar,go kart and japanese gt series so they have expanded their game giving different types of real races in one game not everybody play it due to simulation definitely there r different factors
