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?

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=150397

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...


I knew you'd chirp in...



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

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

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.


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.


I highly doubt that. Sony has developed a loyal racer fanbase in Europe since I was a child.

We're also forgetting that GT5 was more profitable than we know. Before the game even released Sony was making profit off GT5 with the Prologue meaning every dollar since the first hour GT5 went on sale it was already profitable.

GT5 didn't sell as well as it could because of the not-so-positive reviews due to its 'standard cars' and all that stuff. Otherwise, it would have sold better than Halo 4 in its first year.

Another day another troll thread!
Halo 4 obviously has sold well, but why do some people constantly NEED to compare this game to GT5 if not for wanting to start a flamewar?


Read the OP...

"They're both arguably their respective consoles biggest exclusive game"

That's why I'm comparing them. This is a sales site, remember?

You need to toss Mario into the mix.

If this were a "GT5 sells more in 7 weeks than Halo 4 sold in its first year" the Sony and GT5 fans in here wouldnt be complaining.

Of course they wouldn't.  It would be a huge thread of teeth ithcing high grade schmaltz.  Pictures of cakes, candles, streamers the works.

If the biggest PS3 excluisve managed to outsell the biggest 360 exclusive we would never hear the end of it. 

But this way round its somehow grubby and tacky.


It would be the exact same situation reversed. And you would both be part of it.

Hypocrisy, when you hold them.

Oh joy, here he is again, Mr Grumpy.  An off topic personal slight again with no evidence. 

Actually no.  I just wouldn't visit the thread.  There are plenty of examples if you could get off your very, very high horse and go look.

You are becoming very irritating with your holier than thou, pious attitude.   

If you hold such a large part of this site in such contempt... the door is open.  You seem to have an issue with the whole reason d'etre of the site to be hoenst.  The nature of the site will engender this kind of debate and argument... however trivial... its just a bit of fun for god sake.

You bleat about how sad people are to have such affiliations and yet all you do is spend your entire time seeking out posts to moan about, dont think you are too different really. 

You sem to enjoy putting other human beings down in a way that comes across as you think you are better... hmmm? 

What does that tell us? After all the internet can allow us to be whatever we want to be.  Can't it?  I'm sure you know what I mean.

 

 

 


Were you looking at a mirror when you wrote that? xD

And just so you know, you're not (among some others) "a large part of the site". ^_-
