GT5 is yet in TOP100 sales (54 last week)... Reach is not even in the TOP100... in May the gap will be 200k for the year and it will grow in the holiday season.

That's like the sales are.

- GT5 is selling now 20k per week.
- Reach is selling now less than 10k per week (the 100th game sold 11,323 this week).

Do you want me to do the math for you?


Nah, don't bother. For arguments sake, lets just say it does outsell Reach by 500k for the year. It would still be behind Reach by one million units. You think it can outsell Reach by one million from 2013 onwards?

Yeap... lifetime means after 2016.

But we must not count those man, we wouldn't want to make it even more impossible for GT5!

Did Reach get adjusted significantly downward? I know we were overtracking it by a fair bit in Europe back in 2010 but I didn't think it was by that much. I could have sworn we had it at over 9 million at some point last year. In regards to the OP, too hard to say. If GT5 gets another round of bundling and the XL edition releases in Europe then maybe a slight chance.

At the current rate GT5 will outsell Reach (without digital sales)... there are more potential buyers for GT5 than Halo: Reach... in fact the XL Edition is not released in Europe yet (the biggest country for GT). In fact reach is more front loaded than GT5.

A little comparison:

GT5 2010: 5,264,164
Reach 2010: 7,100,482

GT5 2011: 1,786,379
Reach 2011: 1,594,218

GT5 2012: 307,832
Reach: 192,329

But if you add digital sales Reach will outsell GT5.

Yes, and it's quite remarkable if we consider that as its simulation fidelity increased compared to previous console racers, it's best enjoyed with a wheel, while FPS don't require optional (and quite expensive) peripherals.

At the current Rate, GT5 is only outselling Reach by about 200k a year. It'll take about 7-8 years to catch Reach at that rate. It's not happening.

It's already 100k this year... at current rate it will outsell Reach by 500k+ this year without XL Edition in Europe.


What!?! 500k+? Can I purchase weed from you?

i have absolutely no clue about the gt sales and about this xl edition but you say gt5 is selling 20k now per month and mid march it sold 31,257? maybe sales will be 5k lower next month or so but reach sales will hold at whatever it sells atm?

like i said, i have no clue about those sales, was just searching for them for this thread and saw that you posted those 31,257 sales in the gt 5 comments because i can't answer a poll without searching for the sales to think about which will sell more.
