Forums - Sales - Halo 4 sells more in 7 weeks than GT:5 sold in its first year

So what?
Everyone knows Halo is more front loaded, GT has the better legs usually. Halo is a bigger name now anyways.



It's just that simple.

Halo 3 seemed to match the legs of GT5 even with a higher opening.

Halo 3 had the luxury of being released early on in the 360s life. Halo 4 has potentially 1 Year until a new generation of Xbox. I think it will severely cut the potential legs of Halo 4.

Does it look like Im celebrating?  No, I was simply explaining to you what his sig meant.  His makes sense, yours does not.  If you compare time frames with Forza vs GT once again they sell very similar.  You compare Killzone next to Halo and halo dominates.  Stop quoting me now.  I explained why yours makes no sense and what his meant.  If you want me to say GT5 is bigger than Forza then I will say yes it is. Is that what you want to hear?  

HIs sig does not make sense. Again, see below.

You didnt address the 3 points that make your parody make less sense then mine lol

Well if you say for this generation only, Forza actually won...unless you count the PSP game but thats not on PS3, either way my grand point is that Forza is taking the crown for 2011 and 2012, making it the most relevant sim franchise in the last 2 years, taking advantage of GT5s slow release schedule. Its capitalizing on the competitions slow release schedule and seizing control with numbers.

In the end, my sig tries to convey that even a god can bleed. In regards to the OP, GTs best days are behind it.

 

Your sig makes less nonsense than mine? Okay? Fine, but it's still nonsense.

Forza 4 + Horizon LTD: 4.77m

GT5  LTD: 8.62m

There is no comparison here. 

Since you are putting Halo 3: ODST in your sig, then put the origanal Halo 3 too, since they are practically the same game.

Yet you quote me again, Stop quoting me.  I was simply explaining what his meant.  Now leave me out of it.

And defending his nonsense and calling it valid and now you're refusing to acknowledge that after finally realizing how stupid of a comparison it is.

The legs of Halo depend on the legs of the Xbox 360 and perhaps even the Xbox Next if the game is forwards compatible. New console purchasers associate the game with the system like they do with GT and to a greater extent Mario with Nintendo. In any case big games like Halo/Call of duty invariably have legs as new console purchasers buy them regardless of how many existing fans get them.



Tease.

You do realize that tons of people still played Halo 2 on their 360 same think will happen with the 720 and Halo 4 even if its not backwards compatiable since a digital version or a enhanced version will be available close to the launch.  Anyway Halo 4 will soon be available on games on demand so we will never know its true sales number since those numbers aren't available to the public.

LMAO LMAO LMAO  

No no no.  He uses time frames and I've stated this numerous times and I have already said GT is a bigger franchise but maybe you can't read well I don't know. Using his comparison it would go something like this

Forza-2008-2013
GT - 2008 - 2013

That would be specific timelines with two series that has potential of selling very well this generation.  Not a game like Killzone that can't even out sell a game that is an expansion.  In fact Anniversary has sold similar to killzone and it is a remake.  Halo Wars has sold similar to  Killzone and it is a RTS.  This is what I've been trying to explain to you.  TIME FRAMES WITH SIMILAR SELLS.  He is using Forza 3 and Forza Horizon in the time frame since Forza 4's release date which I will agree is not fair but it does show that Forza is successful. What he should do is use a time frame from both starting dates.  For example sit Forza and GT side by side from both release dates.  

Now disreagarding everything I just said he is using a business approach to things (IP sales).  So at least understand what he is saying before making fun of him with your sig and making yourself loo childish at the same time.

And because I know you are only going to take all the bad from my comments and once again think Im agreeing with him, I DO NOT AGREE WITH HIM.  Gran Turismo is a bigger game than Forza.  Now as I said multiple times, stop quoting me.

Why do mods even let threads like this stay open.

Is a clear bait thread for a console war, especially given the OP who has a history of starting this kind of bullshit.

Discussing Halo 4 sales is one thing, what exactly was the all so great reason to even make a GT5 comparison, comparing it to other Halo games would make more sense, or other game son the same system, or even the same genre, but nope, completely different genre on a completely different platform. Why GT5? Oh wait, to start a pages long thread full of console war bullshit, which it got off to in a few posts only and is now 4 pages worth.

The best part is I'll probably get a warning for going off topic despite the entire thread producing no worthwhile discussion and just arguments.


warning



Yay!!!
