Sales2099 is the king on nonsensical comparisons.

Have you already forgotten his infamous sig that I made fun of through usage of argumentum ad absurdum?

He isn't being nonsensical or absurd at all.  He said there is no right or wrong answer.  Just because you don't agree with him doesn't mean he is wrong.  People's views are not always the same.

You've already lost all credibility and are in a close second to Sales2099 at this point.

You compared 6 individual Halo games to 1 PS3 Game, a prologue, and for some reason included a PSP game (lol?)

Clearly you do not understand what an equal comparison looks like.

Not that I am saying Jay is not credible, but if he said the world is round, credibility issues aside, he is still right ;)

Some things arent fair, and to try to make it fair only means your trying to twist and create a comparison from chaos, no better then what I or he is trying to do. There is nothing wrong with comparing IP to IP sales. Your perspective is ok too.

Its called perspective and different opinions.

No it's about forming valid comparisons.

You are cherry-picking sales - i.e. chosing an arbitrary time frame to reference the sales of an entire franchise whose sales extrend well beyond that specific time frame.

History does not end when you say it does, nor are sales that occurred prior to this generation obsolete.

If you want to do a franchise comparison, do one...but the valid one is one that doesn't cherry pick.

GT Franchise - 55.88

Halo Franchise -67.69

Now if you want to compare specific games, you do that in the appropriate way - by comparing their entire history.

i.e. GT5 sales vs. Forza 3 sales.

NOT 2012 GT5 sales vs 2012 Forza: Horizon sales

Do you understand yet, cherry picker?

Perspective......please learnt hat you have the right to use your own perspective with varying criteria.

I myself, would limit comparisons to the current most generation in this case. You can't stop me and there is no rule that says I cant do that.

I could also do 2012 sales of IP vs IP if I so chose to as well. There. Is. No. Universal. Criteria.

In this thread case, I chose to pit GT5 against Halo 3, the best vs the best. Or as Jay put it, IP vs IP for the current gen.

 

I don't know how to make it any clearer. You are incapable of accepting different perspectives, and on top of that talk down to those who have one. I feel sorry if this attitude is present in the real world.
