Will Gran Turismo 5 outsell Halo 3 (lifetime sales)?

[bevochan]

 

 

Right now, GT5 is about 1.23 million behind Halo 3.  However, Halo 3 has been about 3 years longer.  Looking at the yearly sales, GT5 is outpacing Halo 3.

Looking at year 4 sales, Halo 3 only sold about 563k whereas GT5 is standing at 770k in year 4 with 3 months left including the holidays.  Halo 3 is probably sell around 200k this year, but GT5 can potentially get well past 1 million this year.  Next year, GT5 sales will probably drop off with GT6 coming out, but if GT5 can net another 300-400k more than Halo3 then another year with about 200k-300k more than Halo 3, the lifetime sales will be very close between these 2 games.
