I vote GT5 to win since I don't see Halo 4 selling too much over 10m.

I'm pretty confident that Halo 4 will sell worse than Reach. Halo Reach's legs were considerably worse than Halo 3's legs. Halo Reach was selling about identical to Halo 3 for about 60 weeks. After that, Reach's sales came to a crawl in comparison to Halo 3. With Reach having relatively weak legs, there's nothing to suggest that Halo 4 will have legs comparable, let alone higher, than Halo 3's legs. Especially with the Nextbox rumored to release next year. That gives Halo 4 only one year to sell to the primary Xbox console. After that first year, I expect Halo 4's legs to drop in comparison to Reach, and especially Halo 3. I'm not saying it's going to have shit legs. But in comparison to Reach, which had three years to sell on the primary Xbox, I'm expecting Halo 4's legs to be a bit lower.

And GT5 is undertracked.


Halo reach was a bad game. Lol. I reccomended my halo friends NOT to buy it. 



First time I've heard a Halo fan say that. If what you say is true, that Reach was a bad game, then how would you explain the high sales for its first year of sale? Surely, it wouldn't take a year before fans realized Reach was poor.


No most Halo fans will say that, me included.  Halo Reach was not good.  A lot of people liked the story but beyond that it was not that great.  Huge mistakes on Bungie's part.  it wasn't a bad game, just not good for the Halo standards.    It sold because it's Halo.  Kind of like Gran Turismo Prologue selling well. The name helps out regardless if it is amazing or not.



This is all subjective. We have no way of objectively calculating if Halo Reach was a disappointment to fans. I personally thought Halo Reach was excellent.
