Who would pirate the Halo games as the biggest draw is multiplayer and playing online with a modded xbox will get you banned. Besides, you gotta look at the trends of the industry. FPS are what sells now, racing games are dying (besides Mario Kart but you be the judge if thats a racing game or not), why do you think that every year there is a COD game that sells millions of copies. Oh and about the numbers, in America there is waaay more 360s than there is PS3s in EMEAA so its not like you're comparing the same installed base so that was a pretty weak argument.

 

It's getting old pizzafacegamer...seriously.

That's not correct at this time of writing...MS haven't rolled out the banhammer on the latest cracked drive firmware dating back over a year.

1.Halo games always have bigger opening weeks, GT always has longer legs

2-GT5 is massivly undertracked it EMEA, which is its strongest region

3.Its been out for a month and a half for christ sake

4.Comparing  a demo which released on...what, 15-20 million userbase against a game that released on a 30 million userbase (ODST and GT5P)...nice

5.And finally GT 1,2,3,4,5 >>>> Halo 1,2,3,ODST,Reach in SALES.

5 GT games sold over 50M copies, 5 Halo games sold barely over 30M copies

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

When I saw that you were the one who made this thread I immediately expected this type of post...

It's getting sad... really, I could explain now, but I'm really too lazy for this... (it's not even the claim that Halo is bigger, but the comparisons you make... ugh..., nah, I'm too lazy)

 

Happy New Year!


I agree.

I can understand why you want them. Its not like EMEA is hard to track and VGC never made countless adjustments  in this region especially regarding PS3...

 

But no, seriously. Maybe its not massivly undertracked but its undertracked for sure since EMEA is GT'sbiggest market and EMEA is the region where VGC makes most mistakes regarding sales. Plus, Sony reported 5.5M shipped like 3 weeks ago, i highly doubt there are 1.5M copies in shelves in the middle of holiday season.

Saying that as his opinion maybe?

I also think GT5 is undertracked in EMEAA,but not massively..only by about 100k-200k.

Well it is quite likely that Halo in this generation will be bigger than GT in this generation in terms of overall sales. It is also likely that Halo in this generation will have higher sales than GT in any generation if ODST plus 3 plus Reach sell >27M units combined.

However none of this really matters, they are both big series and one being slightly bigger than the other doesn't actually mean anything significant.



Tease.
