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

Seems like a lot of kids in here didn't get what they wished for on Christmas...

I find it funny that people are using the word front loaded as if that is a bad thing. Not only does Halo usually sell well in its first year but it has legs right up until the next halo game comes out. So as long as they don't release another Halo (and even then Halo 4 will still sale) it should be fine.



I'm kinda confuse here. I always thought company want a game to be front loaded to make as much profit as possible. How can anyone in their straight mind believe that Legs is better then Front Loaded?

And the my last sentences above.. If you're going to compare GT 5 sales to Halo sales.. GT 5 has long legs only because its the newest product and it keeps getting updates and packs to keep it fresh.. GT5 will be 4 years old next year.. will Gran Turismo as a series sell in 4 years what Halo has as a series in 4 years? Since it cant be an apples to apples comparison You have to look at what GT games sell in the last ten years versus all Halo games..


Halo and Gran Turismo are neck and neck in terms of sales from all of their games combined.

Especially when the "front loaded" games sells at...35€?(http://www.amazon.de/Microsoft-Halo-4-100-uncut/dp/B007TTNOKS) I thought it would do better. But still better than GT5(http://www.amazon.de/Sony-Gran-Turismo-5-Platinum/dp/B005JDIC94) at 25€

*facepalm*

You seriously think GT:5 will outsell Halo 3? I'd love to see the yearly sales breakdown which made you arrive at that outcome.

How many units Halo 3 sold? GT5 will sell over 11.5 million.



2 different install bases, but the deed is done.
