Why is everybody saying halo is front loaded and not a long legged title? Sure halo has great openings, but it has legs as well. Halo games dont stop selling people!

I guess you haven't seen my sig. Take a look.

Think he means full Halo titles. Your listing a expansion. Why dont you make your sig a little more logical and find out Halo Reachs 2012 sales?

Jaywoods post also sums up my thoughts nicely.

1)ODST isn't an expansion, it's a full retail game and people happily paid full price for it.

2) Reach would invalidate the comparison (even though yours is nonsensical to begin with). Here's why:

GT5 - release 2010

Halo3:ODST - release 2009

You compare GT5 to not 1 but 2 other games. One from 2011, and one from 2012.

I compare Halo 3:ODST to just 1 game, from 2011. (1.5 years apart, between release of Forza 4(1 year) and Forza Horizon (2 years))

The comparison is completely valid according to your sig, which is why it's hilarious that you state that mine isn't and yours is.

To put it simply, you're comparing an old game's legs to a new game's front-loaded numbers. It's stupid.

Here's what a valid comparison looks like:

Lifetime sales:

GT series - 65.78m 

Forza series - 15.16m

lol this again. ODST is an expansion with $20 of Halo 3 DLC, thus priced full. Its in the title: Halo 3: ODST. Clearly a expansion.

My sig is the IP sales of 2012. So really, you have to include all Killzones and all Halos sales in 2012. Ya....Halo would totally wipe the floor. Offcourse I didnt include Forza 2 and 3 for my sig because its sales have slowed to a very low crawl, so you would have to see if any other Killzone games in 2012 sold over say 100k for it to mean something. But I digress. Its always funny to see a GT fan use the PS1 and PS2 games as a crutch.
