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.
1 Halo 3 X360 2007 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 7.69 2.71 0.13 1.19 11.71


So it will be close... I can't predict who will win.


But you did 2 posts before? :) Either way, both IPs are the strongest for their brands.

GT5 vs halo 4??? microsoft fans are so freaking upside down.


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.


Compare the game to a FPS. You know the only genre Sony hasn't cracked yet to satisfy the west. I mean Uncharted sells on par with Gears of War, so you know it is only truly an issue with FPS. GT can only be compared with Forza. What is it about GT that keeps people loyal to the brand? Answer that question and you will have your answer as to why GT sells so well for the Playstation in its genre and why Halo sells so well for its genre on the 360. That on top of the fact that there are numerous other genres Sony accounts for.

Selling 10 millions units at $19.99 is more profitable than selling the same amount at $39.99 because it takes longer to sell at $19.99. Halo is doomed?

Stupid title as usual, but great achievement by Halo 4. 39.99 should be the new price of these games, it works-


Why's the title stupid? It's informative.


Your thread titles are nonsense and only created to have flame worthy conversation. Why cant you celabrate Halo 4 great acheivement without baiting. A thread that should about Halo 4 and you disscussing GT5? Why 


What would you have titled this thread then? Anyway, there's already a thread to discuss Halo 4's sales (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=149534). This is an entirely different thing.

This is a SALES SITE, remember? We're supposed to discuss SALES...Capiche?



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Well if Sony decides to stop bundling it like crazy, it will sell as good as 500k - 700k per year max.

Just to make it easy to calculate let's say it sells 1 million per year and does not slow down at all (lol) and Halo 3 does not sell one single copy, the digital ones are not even counted anyway GT5 will get there January 2016. So realistically we are looking at an even later date or never. Well unless VGC does not adjust their numbers.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Its a sales site however, you still consistently create flame-bait threads which leads to nothing. You want sales conversation, that was never your intention.

No...I make SALES threads. If you are somehow offended by them (for whatever reason) then I suggest you take a break or something because you're taking all this stuff WAYY too seriously. Remember, the sales of these games don't have any bearing on real life, so there's no need to get yourself so wound up.

bingo. That's it. I have no issue with Halo, Its a great franchise. Halo games sell pretty well, before COD became insanely popular, Halo was the top gun. I am aware of that. I'm also aware that GT games sell 10 million but takes a long time. So, you are just trying to point out facts by using flame-bait tactics. Its ok, just don't deny it.

I really hope someone can ban or lock this tread. Totally meaningless.

And you already made a Halo 4 vs Gran Turismo 5 sales thread.

Do you want to know what gives it away as a bait thread? Your contribution in the thread. All your obvious bait threads you do the same thing. You never debate with people about the "shocking" topic at hand...
