Neither is a 1st party exclusive so the discussion is pointless. Halo isn't platform exclusive either (PC).

Huh? BOTH are 1st party exclusives. In terms of platforms, only Halo has shared console and PC versions. GT PSP is the only non-console version. Even then, you'd be reaching as far as you could.

My bad, there were some changes made on 06 or 07 but Polyphony never became independent. Bungie is no longer tied to MS but the newly started 343 group own the "Halo" brand as far as I know. It's a question of whether or not to retroactively count or simply add the first three games into 343's portfolio to make them 1st party as a whole it as 1st party exclusive then, and there's still the matter of the PC versions.

Even still, it's a fairly silly discussion. MS fans will say "Halo" and Sony fans will say "Gran Turismo".

In terms of sheer sales, GT has it in the bag. It had one more generation to do it on though, discounting the 5th gen leaves the two franchises basically equal in sales, then there's the difference in attach rate, Halo clearly has a higher attach rate than GT. There are many ways to spin this to one's desire.
