for people pointing out the GT5 was bundled

 

 

 

enjoy and celebrate the sales, but just dont be hypocrites and downplay GT5 sales because it was bundled after 3 years

1 limited console bundle vs 8 regular bundles then.

ok so explain this to me, GT5 sales are pointless because it was bundled in its 3rd year. while halo 4's bundle doesnt matter because its only 1 bundle at launch?

No that is not what I said.

GT5 sold well, no doubt! Some of its sales are due to heavy bundling. And no, GT5 was not bundled after three years. In fact it is still being bundled after 3 years.

both games sold great no arguing there. Halo's will most probably be better too. and the "heavy bundling" only started with the slim which released in octobor 

Don't believe everything ethomaz tells you.

GT5 was bundled the day it released.

Limited edition for Japan, release date November 3, 2010:

Mainstream bundle for EU, released November 2010

The next mainstream bundle for Europe, Released 2011
Still available on Amazon.de :D

 

 

And the next big bundle, release date 2012
Available in EU.

 

 

And then there are still various editions (esstentials / platinum / GT5 academy edition / GT5 XL edition) and quite a few bundles with peripherals, but I don't feel like posting these as well.

I posted this a couple of times now, I don't get why people have a problem to acknowledge that Sony bundled GT5 in a very big way.

It means they have to admit that GT5 needed help out the gate, and still did way less then what Halo 4 is doing.

It also even more so means they cant discredit Forza as much for its bundles. So ppl like ethomaz will pretend GT5 sold under its own steam for the majority of its shelf life and then point the finger at Forza for mass bundling, nevermind it only took cues from GT3.
