e magnificence of the Halo games. |
Not one thing you said is the truth, but I agree.......
|
Can you point out the flaws in my opinion?
|
|
a: I'm sure GT doesn't sell DLCs like Halo or make people sign up for a subscription based online community like Halo.
b: Sony doesn't sell equal amount of multi-plat software like MS do on 90% of the games( exception to titles that were exclusive to PS, like Metal Gear). Check the charts.
c: Being big in America sometimes means selling more than worldwide. Xbox is a proof of that. Xbox doesn't sell in Japan and it's way behind in Europe but it managed to be in front of PS3 for the whole generation until now. It managed that just by trouncing competition in the US of A for the last 4 or so years.
d: Halo is exclusive to Xbox but everytime it comes out it shoulders with COD in terms of numbers. Halo 4 is on its way to double digits.
e: Fifa doesn't sell more than Halo on Xbox and you can add up PS3 and Xbox numbers and you get about what Halo sells just in Xbox.
f: That's true but if you compare Europe's software sales for most of the games, they're tiny compared to North America. Remember that MS profits with Halo also on DLC and it helps boost Xbox Live subscription; that's around $100 dollars a game for you buddy. Halo is a juggernaut.
Now I can tell you why COD blew up. US and the world live in a period where wars are all over the news and military/soldier theme looks good on any visual medium. Even Dark Zero made money.
Halo is a Sci-fi/Fantasy/Adventure where this theme is not what dominates the actuality but it still moves the genre on its own. It doesn't ride any hype but the one that itself created.

Dude, Sony releases a Demo and sells millions of it before the real games comes out.
Fifa is not just bigger, it's getting to be a huge. Fifa is number one is in genre, HALO is not.
Xbox numbers software is tiny in Europe compared to America, I agree, but that's an xbox problem
Europe has had the major wars, yet GT is bigger than Halo there....lol
Halo is not the GENRE , COD is. GT is the leader in his genre.

What wars? WWI and WWII?
COD is the action/adventure leader but Halo is a solid second.Fifa to compare with Halo has to sum all the consoles sales to do it.
GT demos sold because uninformed and avid GT fans were in racing thirst for most of the console generation.But even when it came out it was subpar compared to Forza 3 and 4.
