GT is more of a legs franchise....it'll keep selling for a looooooooooooooooong time.

"Halo 3 remains the biggest selling exclusive in emeaa." should be "Halo 3 remains the biggest selling exclusive in emeaa on HD consoles" obviously....

Same can be said for Halo, it's still selling and it came out 3 years ago.

 

True....but the first week to life time ratio of GT4 is far better than Halo 3... So its safe to say that GT has stronger legs....either way, it doesn't matter much what sells more...at the end of the day, they're both big BIG franchises.

Even after Reach was release there are anywhere from 70,000 to 120,000 players online playing H3 at any given time, H2 had an average of about 27,000 people online at any given time right before it became unsuported (6 years, one major, and one minor Halo release later mind you). Also Halo is a FPS,  FPS are the uprising console king (much to some gamer's chagrin), the same cannot be said of the GT franchise, they may have been king at one point in time, but that ship has sailed. Lifetime sales mean nothing with the changing demographics.
