1. Halo is overtracked here in this site... I bet it's Reach.

2. At the end of this generations GT5 will outsell Reach (I can't wait the the cry).

3. Halo 4 will sell better than Reach.

4. GT5 will reach 11 million... maybe more than GT4.

5. I can't talk about GT6 because it doesn't exists.


1. not factual. GT5 could be overtracked also not factual.

2. Not gonna happen. Reac will hit 11 million +

3. Yes by quite alot.

4. I dont think so. 10 mill max unlless massively bundled.

5. Agree.

GT6 has absolutely no chance at outselling Halo 4.

Halo is just getting bigger whilst Gran Turismo has been on a decline since GT3, even that game was only really big because it was MASSIVELY bundled in North America. GT5 shows a massive decline since it's predecessor, it will be lucky to reach 9 million now and it is only going to decline further unless Sony start mass bundling the series again... and make sure the game's at an acceptable standard before it releases and doesn't take more than 3 years to make.

Also Halo: Reach is probably really close to Halo 3 if you include its digital sales. Remember that Xbox 360 bundle with Fable 3 and a digital copy of Halo: Reach last year? Fable 3 sold roughly 1.4 million due to that bundle which means that bundle has pushed Halo: Reach to about 10.6 million. Then if you consider everyone who bought Halo: Reach digitally outside of the bundle the game must have sold at least 11-11.5 million copies to date making it easily on track to pass Halo 3.


GT5 will do 9 million very easily. It's currently at 8 million selling 30k+ a week and I only imagine that figure will increase as we approach the holidays. It should be around 8.5m by the end of the year (just a modest prediction). 9 million will be easy.

Also, I do believe GT5 is tracking above GT4. I'm not sure if this is true though since we don't have the data to go that far back.

Probably not for three simple reasons.

1. Halo is significantly more front loaded than GT.
2. The time to sell the games will be cut short by the release of next generation consoles.
3. Microsoft can re-release Halo as an updated version whereas with GT there is no point in playing the GT1 anniversary edition.



Tease.

Why would anyone cry over numbers? besides its a well known fact that VGChartz dont track digital sales so this comparison is kinda pointless.

EDIT: I just read that this was a hypothetical. If GT6 were to release this year, then no. I do believe GT6 will outsell Halo 4 though.

No second release GT title has ever sold more than the first in the same generation. No numbered Halo game has ever sold less than a previous version.



Tease.

"I can't wait the cry". Lol. Get a grip pal.

GT5 sold over 6 million in its first year and over 1 million in its second year following two re releases and extensive effort by Sony. When will it reach 11m?  Answer, never, unless it is bundled like crazy.

Considiring GT5 is undertracked by 200k in EU, thats put sales around 8.2m, around 8.8m at the end of 2012. It will easily sell 1.3m next year and pass 10m. We should get shipped data soon.
