Don't remember being able to shoot things in Gt5....What about a BO2 vs Halo 4 seems like a fair better comparison.

You know its funny, games in the racing genre for the HD twins very rarely get over 5 million sold.

My point is that Halo is not the biggest sales beast in its genre, it'll maybe get a third of the sales that CoD gets. GT on the other hand by far leads its genre never getting less than twice the amount of sales as the next racing game.

Genre dominance.

i started this gen with a 360 and bought forza 2. i was underwhelmed to say the least. it was exactly the same as forza 1 but with better cloud graphics. when my 360 died i bought ps3. gran turismo brought me to next gen. i have not played forza 3 or 4, so i can't really comment on how good they are. but i must say that having an entire console base on one game should be a tiebreaker for which is best forza 4 or gt5.

Halo has a massive multiplayer fan base, GT5 has nothing other than pretty graphics.

There's your answer.

Can we move on to Forza 4 vs GT5 now?

lol... wouldnt go there if I was you.  GT5 has sold a lot of its units at bagain bin prices. As you well know. Hence you can still buy the original version in many places as people migrate to the budget editions. (shipments sold?)

I'm not defending GT5 or something... I'm just saying every game have deals or bagain prices... mostly Halo 4 copies sold in the last months was priced at $39.9.

No they weren't. The 4.5m sold in the first 2 weeks had an average cost of over $60.



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

A handful of retailers dropped the price to $39.99 about 2 weeks ago, but has now gone back up.
