I can't get some points here...

There nothing different between the GT5 standard edition and XL, Spec II or Academy Edition... THEY ARE THE SAME GAME!!!

It's like Game of The Year Edition, Platinum Edition, etc... all games have these editions.

And for now GT5 have just one (yeap ONE) re-release (Spec II in Japan, XL in US and Academy Edition in EU).

PS. The re-release sold util Sep 2012 less than 600k units... the GT sales are more than 90% standard editions.


All games have those editions? I don't remeber Halo ever releasing a GOTY edition with all of it's map packs. Re releasing GOTY editions gives games a ton of legs because people buy them in 2 ways.

1. The people who didn't pick up the game between launch and the GOTY release can now go out and get the game 10-20 dolars cheaper with extra contant.

2. The people who already purchased the game and no DLC can now just go out and usaully get all the bundled DLC in the GOTY for cheaper than buying the individual DLC's.

I don't know how you can say a GOTY edition is the same exact game as the regular version. Their is more content in one over the other.

So here we have one game in Halo 4 that will not get a GOTY type re release going against GT5that has them.

Also where are you getting the numbers for XL, Spec II and Academy Edition sales?
