It should be GT5 vs. Halo 4 and no other versions of GT5 should be counted. In the end it won;t matter because Halo 4 will sell more copies. |
Absolute rubbish. What's this a comparison of? Its GT5 vs Halo 4 - not just this single, specific, exact version of GT5 vs Halo 4. I see zero validity in that argument, and I have never once seen this argument brought up in any other game comparison. I've actually never seen it brought up at all, for that matter. Tbh, I think there could almost be an argument made that GT5:P + GT5 sales = GT5 official sales; but, it's not even necessary to go into that, and I'm perfectly fine with GT5:P sales being separated from GT5.
Your argument for why it's BS is bc no other Halo has done it...that isn't even an argument! Haha. The point still stands: Many games get a goty edition, and that's okay. You don't hear a single person trying to figure out how many Batman: AC goty editions sold, and then trying to claim this figure should be subtracted from its sales. Why? Bc it's ridiculous. And again, Microsoft is fully capable of making a goty edition for Halo 4; GT5 doesn't have some unfair ability to make a goty edition that Halo 4 lacks. Oh, and I think someone posted above about Microsoft releasing a goty edition for Halo:CE. So you saying "no Halo has done it" doesn't seem to be true.
I've never even played GT5, and I've never owned a single game from the series; so, I'm not some GT fanboy. I even admitted in my previous post I think this comparison isn't even really fair for Halo 4 bc GT5 has a 2 yr head start, and at the end of the gen that makes a major difference. But I just don't see how you can be serious when saying GT5's goty/dlc edition should not count in its sales. It comes off like a desparate (fanboyish) excuse as an attempt to dismiss some of GT5's sales; yet, no defensive excuse even needs to be made - bc the above reason I gave, but also bc Halo 4 will probably pass GT5's sales anyways. Not trying to be a jerk btw:/ If you hold tight to this claim, I think it's a wee crazy, but I'll just have to say I respectfully disagree.
