LOL, no it didn't on top of that it was one of the most bundled PS2 games so its sales numbers are misleading.  The FPS shooter craze actually started with DOOM but when we are talking about consoles it started with Halo and got even bigger with Halo 2 since the first game didn't have a online mode.  GT3 had little to no impact on what is popular on the 360 and PS3 especially since the game was completely a offline experience.

Until you can prove that the majority of it's sales were bundled the jury is still out on that one. I'm pretty sure there were popular FPS's before Halo such as Golden Eye 007 for the N64. The FPS craze didn't get bigger with Halo 2, it specifically got bigger with call of duty 4. 

@Bold You missed the point. 

Call of Duty 4 would have never been as big as it got without Halo 2.  Halo 2 put online console FPS on the map but your too young to realize that.  As for GT3 more then 1/3 of its sales came through bundles especially in North America where you can find the not for resale marked used copy almost as easily as the retail version that has a bar code.  As for Golden Eye the only reason it was fairly popular on the N64 is because the N64 had a limited library of games and it was released pretty close to the consoles launch and never went out of print.
