What? What differences are there between Halo 3 and Halo Reach? Halo Reach is selling similarly to Halo 3. There will always be some differences, but overall they are more or less the same. As everyone in the whole thread has pretty much told you, GT 3 was heavily bundled in America. Its the only game that has sold extremely high every other GT games has sold around 10-11 million. Why are you being blind to this clear fact? Its not as heavily bundled as Wii sports, but it was heavily bundled for a set period of time. Forza was also heavily bundled and it did something like 3-4 million didn't it? But that was because it was bundled for a set period of time. You need to do your research kid. And according to VGchartz MGS2 and MGS4 have sold the same, with only 300,000 difference between them. That is less than 10%, and can be considered as statistical tie.
Look at this chart. All gran turismo's doing around 9.37-10.85. Except for GT3 and GT 5 because GT 5 is just released and GT 3 was heavily bundled. If GT 5 does 10 million than its doing the norm for a gran turismo game. Funnily enough if you include Gran turismo prologue the demo's sales into GT 5 sales because obviously its the demo its the same thing, it would equal 10.12 million. Well on its way to 14 million. If you don't include the prologue, then it would mean this is the second gran turismo game this gen....and then you would have to compare it to GT 4.... |
Well if you don't recognize the whole concept of the first iteration, then I don't see why I should continue this discussion with you. If you want to talk about MGS4 performance then the data shows it perfomed decently, not too bad, not too good, compared to MGS2.
As for GT5, if we just put the America bundles aside we can easily see that it did horrible in Japan, poor in America and decent in EMEAA, considering that GT4 has not been released during Christmas time like GT5. So overall GT5 didnt do so well. Yeah Christmas time...another factor that fans will completely ignore just to prove their point. But since you don't recognize the first iteration concept I suppose you won't either recognize that games generally sells way more during that time.
So in the end you can continue with your spinning (including Prologue sales to GT5 lol come on!) or just try to analyze the full thing without any bias.
Enjoy!
