Indeed, why do some people feel the need to find ways to diminish the obvious success of a product on their console's direct competitor?  Insecurity much?  It's childish, that's for damn sure.  Especially more so when you realize that most of those comments are coming from people in or around their mid 20s.

Bold1: No GT4 was released in holiday season in Japan too, this is also the reason why Japan sales are really disappointing.

Bold2: Doing almost as good as last year without slim? Move and GT5 surely have something to do with it.

1. Like I said, GT5 was released everywhere during the holiday. GT4 was not.

2. Holiday sales were considerably better last year. But PS3 also had a price cut last year. GT5 gave a boost, but not a very significant one.

Where do you see any Forza bashing?  

Stating that GT is selling more than Forza isn't saying that it's a shit game.

The mentioning of Forza was hardly complimentary.

Whatever, lets just be naive.

However, even if the game is a huge success that doesn't stop people from saying it's undertarcked:

So what, no one mentioned anything about being #1 except for you.

I know...I am not being serious I am just messing around because people were comparing Forza and Gran Turismo so I through in Mario Kart Lol. GT5 numbers are very good and I just wanted to have some fun comparing like everyone else.

You've (surprisingly) made a good point, if people compare Forza and GT..... why don't we compare MK and GT?

There was a fair few people claiming that Reach won't sell anywhere near on the level that it has sold now, even went as far as to claim that it will have the sales of ODST's, that's the thing. Exclusives always get bashed, hell some people even make one day accounts just to troll the exclusive threads with dumbass predictions or troll comments, you can't take a five week comparison to proclaim that an x game will outsell y game in any case. You need a reasonable and fair period that will show a clearer picture.

What I don't seem to remember however is any threads titled "Looks like Halo Reach sales shut some haters up", or if there was one, I must have missed it, pardon me in that case.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

For the same reason we don't compare SSBB and Street Fighter IV.


And that reason is........................
