Reach was a decline, but still sold 9.5 million. Mainline implies the games aren't spinoffs, which Gears and GOW weren't. Halo Wars, ODST, those are not considered mainline. Gears J and GOW A were therefore mainline. Uhh...no. Judgment followed different characters, which none of the main entries did. Not to mention the fact that it was made by a completely different studio. Ascension focused on multiplayer, which none of the main entries did. These are entirely indicative of a spinoff, whether you're willing to accept it or not.

I find it funny how you poke fun at my username and not appreciating the circumstances......yet ignore the incompetance of a multinational corporation in terms of scheduling for their #1 IP release. I am just saying a GT fan wouldn't be detered by the release of the PS4 to buy their favourite game. That and the game just doesn't offer too much over GT5 to warrant a purchase. What does Sony's "incompetence" have to do with the hilarious irony of your username? You showed it just again with your next sentence. "I am just saying a GT fan wouldn't be detered by the release of the PS4 to buy their favourite game." That's the point. The only people who wouldn't be deterred are the hardcore GT fans, which are the ones who DID buy it.

The PS4 releases may very well do better then their last entries. Congrats. Doesn't change the present, no matter how much you are hilariously trying to sugar coat it. Man up and deal. It isn't personal. Gears of War is my thing and I accept what happened. Whatever. You deal and hope the next one brings the magic back. Sugar coat? I've given valid reason as to why any of these games seeing lower sales than their predecessors does not neccesarily imply that interest in the IP's overall has dwindled, and your only counter-argument is to claim that these reasons aren't valid because you say so, despite numerous examples in my favor. I've never even played a God of War game so I could care less about it "bringing the magic back." All I'm doing here is providing an objective explanation as to why you're incorrect.

Well its clear we aren't going to agree. That said:

I knew that the majority of GT5 sales were just bandwagon hoppers and not real GT fans. Thanks for backing up my hypothesis. Well that and the sales of GT6 obviously ;)
