Yea agree with the last two post there.... I mean for america, take a look at halo reach U.S. sales, its 6 million US to 2 million worldwide sold (roughly of course)..... Then look at gt5,  3 1/2 million emeaa to 1.6 million U.S. America love the violence hahaha :D And i think microsoft were smart with packaging that forza 3 with consoles, it got the name out there better.... but i still dont think the newer one will sell more than gt5... I just hope for another amazing racing game like gt5 and forza 3, cause there both amazing. 

Forza 4 might not outsell GT5, but it will probably come a lot closer then die hard GT fans would like it to. By bundling 1 million copies of Forza 3, they managed to help get the Forza name across. What would be interesting for me is to see if Forza 4 outsells GT5 in the Americas regions, which it might do, without bundling.

As for Halo selling 3 copies in Americas to every 1 copy in EMEAA. You also should take into consideration that there are 3 360's in America to every 2 360's in EMEAA. So the regional preferences is still there, but not that ridiculously.

There is about a 1 to 1 ratio for PS3's in Americas and EMEAA (18-22 million respectivly), and Black Ops still sells more in Americas, but not by too much (4.6-4 million respectivly).

Im a die hard GT5 fan, im addicted to that game but i want forza 4 to sell as many if not more than gt5..... People dont like to admit it but both gt5 and forza kick ass.... And if you think about it, you would want to root for the other racer too, cause lets say if forza 4 comes out and is so amazing and people call it gold and it sells like hot cakes, then gt5 will have to step it up, which in turn will make for a better game.... I love racing games, il pretty much play anything racing... And for the shooter thing, yeah america love shooters.... most shooters for both consoles sell better in america

I used to be die hard GT, but I've learned to prefer Forza. Forza Motorsport 3 fixed a lot of issues that bugged me with GT games. Although GT5 largly removed these issue, I can't play a simulation racing game outside of in car view anymore. I don't care if it's a 1997 Civic Si or a Bugatti Veyron. I want to be in the drivers seat. lol.

Still I get every racing game I can as well. I even have Race Pro. Competition is what fuels gaming. If Wii and 360 never came out, why would Sony switch from the PS2?

I like your views on gaming, it's nice to see an opinion on VGC that isn't strongly biased.
