First off Halo Reach and GT5 sales aren't even are fair comparison:
- Reach only sold in 2011 and 2012 due to extensive bundling with 4 other games. But since we do not know how much it sold in bundles we can't assume GT5 sold more standalone copies
Games sell bundles, bundles don't sell games. Sure, maybe some people wouldn't of got the game without the bundle, but you're giving bundling too much credit.
- GT5 was bundled maybe once and is outselling Reach by a large margin on a weekly basis despite Halo Reach being bundled like hell.
If GT5 is outselling it weekly then that could be an argument for GT6 being more likely to outsell Halo 4 in the long run, but that's not what you're saying, you've just drop this piece of info with little context and in turn no relevance.
Now for GT6 vs Halo 4:
We have no information at all about GT6 whereas Halo 4 is getting a large amount of hype at the moment due to its launch being only a couple weeks away.
Yes, and we are saying GT6 is releasing this year with a similar marketing budget.
If GT6 comes too late in the PS4 cycle it will struggle to sell 7.5 million copies and Halo 4 coming in at around this time should make it get 10 million copies.
A real comparison would be GT6 and Halo 5 as both launch titles and in that case there would be many factors for example:
- Which console is selling better
- The quality of the game etc.
So in reality this an unfair comparison that makes no sense at all

Stop overanalysing everything. We don't have all the facts, and that's part of the fucking point of a hypothetical question.
