Neither Halo: Reach nor GT5 have shown a significant difference to their predecessor's weekly sales (GT5 obviously being more frontloaded). Reviews have made little if any impact on either and nothing thus far proves otherwise.

GT5's weekly numbers trail GT4's, sure, but GT5 sold much more than GT4 in weeks 2/3/4 due to the holiday period, bringing their sales to an even standpoint in the same time frame (with GT5 still being ahead in some regions and launching to higher numbers in EMEAA).

Halo: Reach isn't too far off of Halo 3 either, but that situation is different because Halo 3 was the first full blown release on the system and sometimes, sequels sell less than predecessors on the same console.

Also you just said GT5 sales are tailing GT4's, I dunno what point you're trying to make with that one.

Why don't you read the entire paragraph to see what the point is. >.>

The rest of the paragraph cleary is irrelevent because GT5 had a holiday launch, where GT4 didn't. You stated it yourself, thats why I ignored it.

Errr....it isn't irrelevant at all, because it's an explanation as to why GT5 trails GT4 in the weeks after the holidays. GT5 was much more frontloaded. You harp on how GT5 is behind GT4 post holiday weeks, but then ignore a valuable reason behind it.

Yes, GT5 had a holiday launch. In other words: no shit. That's THE point. That's why it trails GT4 these weeks, but still remains with it in overall sales.

GT5 only matched GT4 sales during the holiday season. If it trails behind now, and only matched GT4 sales when it had it's holiday boost (where GT4 has year to share that benefit), that implies that overall it will sell less.

Thats why I don't get your point, you agree with me, but contest that I don't look at it like you do? I dunno what your trying to prove..

My original point, which your contesting, is that GT5 sales will be lower then GT4 sales. Your agreeing with me, but argueing my point at the same time. I don't understand..
