| dsage01 said: 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 - GT5 was bundled maybe once and is outselling Reach by a large margin on a weekly basis despite Halo Reach being bundled like hell. 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. 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 Note: To the people that are comparing Forza to GT lets start comparing Killzone to Halo |
I love how I mentioned that a popular excuse was that Reach and GT wasn't a fair comparison and here you mention it. They are both "flagships" and both had a similar release window. What happened, happened.
Reach bundles were mostly digital and took place during the christmas 2011 season. Other bundles during non holiday periods werent as widespread as you think.
