At the current rate GT5 will outsell Reach (without digital sales)... there are more potential buyers for GT5 than Halo: Reach... in fact the XL Edition is not released in Europe yet (the biggest country for GT). In fact reach is more front loaded than GT5.
A little comparison:
GT5 2010: 5,264,164
Reach 2010: 7,100,482
GT5 2011: 1,786,379
Reach 2011: 1,594,218
GT5 2012: 307,832
Reach: 192,329
But if you add digital sales Reach will outsell GT5. |
At the current Rate, GT5 is only outselling Reach by about 200k a year. It'll take about 7-8 years to catch Reach at that rate. It's not happening. |
It's already 100k this year... at current rate it will outsell Reach by 500k+ this year without XL Edition in Europe.
|
What!?! 500k+? Can I purchase weed from you? |
GT5 is yet in TOP100 sales (54 last week)... Reach is not even in the TOP100... in May the gap will be 200k for the year and it will grow in the holiday season.
That's like the sales are.
- GT5 is selling now 20k per week.
- Reach is selling now less than 10k per week (the 100th game sold 11,323 this week).
Do you want me to do the math for you?

i have absolutely no clue about the gt sales and about this xl edition but you say gt5 is selling 20k now per month and mid march it sold 31,257? maybe sales will be 5k lower next month or so but reach sales will hold at whatever it sells atm?
like i said, i have no clue about those sales, was just searching for them for this thread and saw that you posted those 31,257 sales in the gt 5 comments because i can't answer a poll without searching for the sales to think about which will sell more.

20k per week... it is selling ~100k per month.
~320k for Jan/Feb/Mar.

January sales are always high, leftover holiday season and massive outlet sales contribute greatly, february and march see hardware and software sales plummeting towards the spring/summer lull and even fall is rather fall until mid-october or so (GT5 did over 30k only two weeks ago, its falling pretty fast now). You don't honestly think GT5 will keep pulling 80-100k a month until october, do you? It will likely fall into the 10k region weekly come spring, perhaps even slightly below 10k and then pick up again in the holidays. But this holiday season will be fairly weak for all three as it is likely the very last one of this generation and software sales will reflect that. GT5 will be lucky to cross much beyond 8 million lifetime by january 1st 2013. It might not cross 8 million at all this year, at least not without bundling and we don't track bundles properly...
As much as I love the game, some of the expectations for it simply cannot be met, the installed base is too small, the sim market too narrow and the console cycle too advanced to make much of an impact from here on out.
