The odds of it doing under 7 million are 10x greater than it doing over 15 million.


The odds of doing over 7 million are 1000000x times greater than doing under 7 million

Yeah because so many games passed 7 million on PS3, oh wait theres just the measly one. The most anticipated game of all time GTA4 after 2 and a half years hasnt done it aswell as the other thousands, even on Xbox only 4 games have sold over that a GTA, a Halo and a COD game all more popular than a GT game.

But thats not what i said anyway because there is a chance it can sell under 7 million copies, the game may not be recieved all that well like GT PSP which everyone thought would do well. However it is impossible for it to pass 15 million.


Yeah, because every game on PS3 is big like Gran Turismo franchise. And you really must be living in clouds when you think that Halo is more popular than Gran Turismo

Halo 3 has sold 11.2 million copies more than 3 of the 4 Gran Turismo games and GT3 only sold 14 million because it was heavily bundled in US (though Halo 3's US sales still beat it) if it wasnt Halo 3 would have surpassed that in sales aswell easily.

Halo Reach just sold 4 million week 1, theres no way Gran Turismo 5 is doing that. Halo Reach will outsell GT5.

Halo 2 sold 8.4 million copies excluding PC on Xbox, GT4 sold 10.6 million copies on PS2 which had 3x the userbase, if Halo 2 was available to as many people as GT4 was its have easily have outsold it.

People brag about GT Prologue selling 4 million copies the crappy Halo ODST "expansion pack" has nearly sold 6 million copies. If Halo was as popular in Europe as US its be doubling GTs sales.


Gran Turismo is know for its long and strong legs (wheels in this case) and Halo is know big openning weeks. And Gran Turismo attracts more casual gaming audience, while Halo  is a strict core franchise, so the userbase argument fails. And how many other worth-playing games did original Xbox have besides Halo? Halo had no competition on original Xbox, mostly because of weak 3rd party support. PS2 on the other hand had tons of good quality games so Gran Turismo had much bigger competition.  As for the rest of your argument:

5 Gran Turismo games- 55 million copies sold      http://www.polyphony.co.jp/english/list.html (not counting PSP version, Concept series and GT4P)  

5 Halo games- Little over 30 million copies sold      http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=231667
