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?


who said that legs is more profitable?


People are implying that legs are more imprtant.  Read through the thread.  A shitstorm of people whining, complaining, downplaying, etc.  Just ignore this entire thread if I was you.

Your like the 100th person to post this comment.  He is comparing the two biggest exclusives for the HD twins.  Not hard to figure out.




       

Yes, everyone knows that Xbox 360 games are known for great initial sales. People also know that Sonys top sellers are known for having great legs.

OK.

What PS3 exclusive would you like to compare it to? Go through your rolladex and pick one out.

What is upside down is the fact that if GT 5 was ahead of Halo 4 on those charts it would be 100 percent OK to compare each companies top game. However because it sold a lot more than many thought it turns into 1 game is a shooter and the other is a racer so no way.

Now I want everyone to remember what they are saying now because if by some chance GT 5 passes Halo 3 or Halo 4 (if it passes Halo 3) don't start threads about how it outsold Halo games because to a lot of the "just Sony fans" you can't compare the two.

I have noticed a lot of people being hypocrites in my short time on this site. A lot of people throw out this term "overtracked" when it goes against their console or game prefrence. Hardley any perspective is used in any arguement and people make these ridiculous pridictions, that when proven wrong, are magically no place to be seen.

It seems like there are a group of people who are fan boys, but they just take it to the extremes to the point where it is even enjoyable to discuss certain topics.

It's really nice to see both games do so well. Halo 4 especially. Real commendable effort put in by 343 industries and Microsoft.

But I really don't feel the need to act like a bully and rub salt in people's wounds. I'm rather new to this forum but there's this particular member, whenever I read his posts I can't help but picture a bully. A very big bully. And he is in this thread. Not going to name him.

The way people feel the need to bully others with words and talk down to them just because they aren't on the same page is really quite sad. We should be congratulating both Sony and Microsoft for doing so well and producing such wonderful games for us to play.

best post i've read for the new year so far

anyway its great to see halo 4 reach this milestone, from what i've seen its a great game

I wouldn't call it great. It's definately WAY better then Reach but nowhere near as epic as Halo 2 or Halo 3. Halo 4 ending is horrible, I was all hype up for a bad ass battle at the end but left with a dissapointment.



This seems like a flame-bait thread to me.

Why not say something like MK Wii sold more in it's first month, than Halo 3 sold in a whole year?



Since you brought up a comparison between a franchise I consider 'not so great' (Halo) (opinion) and a franchise I grew up with (GT) then I feel obligated to heal my butthurt by posting this:

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 sold more in its first month than any halo game ever will. And so did Modern Warfare 3...and Black Ops...and Modern Warfare 2. The sad part is the comparison that I am presenting is more valid than any considering these two franchises are in the same genre. What happened Halo, why can't you grow your fanbase anymore?

As far as sales go, Halo is the other guy. Let's talk about the big guns.

New Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario Kart Wii, SSBB, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit are just examples. That's right, I just used games sales from a system that I also dislike because I chose to. Also, Kinect Adventures. Boo-yah!
