Yeah possibly, does it matter though? It wouldn't exactly signify anything of importance being ahead of Halo would it. Not if it had to be heavily bundled to get there. |
It sold 6.4 million with pretty much no bundles. Isn't that any achivement already? Halo Reach is more bundleld than GT5 as of now so in that case Halo Reach already has a head start.

I didn't say it wasn't an achievement, where have I downplayed GT5 sales? You're the one highlighting GT5 VS Reach, I'm just saying if it gets heavily bundled it doesn't matter if it beats Reach, it won't mean anything.
Look up a few posts, Reach has hardly been bundled at all.

beating halo isnt really a comparison its more of a measuring stick i did this aswell just b/c we say can gt5 beat reach ect. doesnt mean that we are trying to say its better ect. we do this b/c halo is a game from a past gens that hasnt fallen off like most expected or how most if not all believe gt has fallen off this gen, we use halo also b/c its sales this gen are close to what gts where past gen
it would signify importance b/c during this gen halo and COD type games are the big sale makers many people believed that there was a shift in gaming prior to past gens and games that were popular before will not be this gen gt being one of them

It's not a measuring stick though if it had to be heavily bundled to get there. At the end you can't say 'GT beat Reach so it's a still a bigger franchise'

No GT is still a bigger franchise than Halo. Both of them are huge franchises but look at it this way. Compare the marketing campaign for GT5 and Halo Reach. Then count how many times GT5 has been delayed causing dissapointed fans. Most gamers didn't even know when GT5 was releasing in North America. Now compare the metascore of both of the games. And think back which one had more competition. The only advantage GT had was it being released in holiday season but that too with plenty of competition killing the NA sales. Despite all that I'm amazed GT5 has crossed 5 million. But within 6 weeks they shipped 6.37 million. Do you think if Halo Reach was delyayed a countless amount of times got a 84 meta, almost no launch hype and got released next to Black Ops would sell over 6.5 million by now?
