No. We are talking about games sold in the last decade... GT1 and GT2 had sales in the last decade.

Can someone tell me how this thread transformed into a Gran Turismo discussion?
@Jay520
Your the one who needs to grow up son I never even mentioned your name.
Im not even being defensive about Halo as I think Halo Reach is probably overtracked here.
And look whats already happening people are bringing up games like GT in this thread as I knew they would.
This thread isnt going to be about how accurate Vgchartz numbers are its going to be about who has the bigger inernet penis.
Come on Im quite easily one of the most mature members of this site. I feel zero personal involvment in anything gaming related. I work in the video games sales industry so numbers interest me. That is all
Seems like MS is either mistaken or Halo hasn't sold as much as we were lead to believe.

Well MS have other mistakes before like "66m sales".
Reach is overtracked here... it is known here but not enough to make this difference between VGC and MS.

No we don't know if and by how much it's overtracked. That's why it's speculation. Again, speculation has always been very prevelant on this site. If you don't like speculation then you can just leave the site altogether. No, we cannot speak in absolutes. Yes, there are plenty of possibilities. We can only look at the data and make judgements on which seems the most likely, but unfortunately, because of some people in this thread, they don't want to see any discussion as it could potentially mean their franchise would be knocked down by a tiny bit. It's sad. It would be nice if when interesting information like this releases, that threads could have meaningful discussions with people from all sides bringing in different ideas that we could all consider, but no...as soon as some people do bring out different ideas and explanations, they have to simotaneously resort to flaming and perpetuating this childish console war (not talking about you). Thus forming an us-against-them mentality and rendering any discussion of the subject impossible. |
Im fine with speculation but how can you speculate on facts. Halo has sold 43 million. I believe he would know more than this site. Each game could be over-tracked by a simple 500, 000 on here for all we know and that could be how it got over-tracked but all in honesty 100% of the games on this site is no exactly correct. That 500,000 doesnt sound like much but if each game gets over-tracked by 500, 000 that ends up being 3.5 million. My point is I doubt if one game on here is over-tracked by 3 million. It would most likely be each game has be over-tracked by a few thousand which adds up.

GT3: 14.89m Plus GT2 was launched in late 99... so GT2 sales less 1 year. 42.55m + (9.37m - 1 year sales). I was guessing 50 million counting the 2000 year. |
We get the point, Gran Turismo is a juggernaut, congrats go gran turismo. Are you happy now?

I said that Halo was a juggernaut along with nintendo franchises. Now someone is trying to prove that GT is too, which we know that already

Well great sales all around regardless, I will assume they aren't counting digital sales although i don't expect them to be that big of an impact on the overall numbers
