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

enjoy and celebrate the sales, but just dont be hypocrites and downplay GT5 sales because it was bundled after 3 years


Limited edition consoles are at most 250K units, probably not much more than 100K units, and AFAIK are sold for $100 more than an equivalent console. You can't heavy bundle this way.

1 limited console bundle vs 8 regular bundles then.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

its a bundle still and it was released at launch, and we dont know how much of those were made. my point is dont downplay GT5 for being bundled in its 3rd year and just act like halo 4 doesnt have a bundle.



Great sales for an exclusive game, but pretty average sales for an fps.

ok so explain this to me, GT5 sales are pointless because it was bundled in its 3rd year. while halo 4's bundle doesnt matter because its only 1 bundle at launch?

So it's the same a game bundled in a limited edition console that sells for $100 more than a regular one, than a game throw in a bundle with 3 other games, at the same cost than other bundles (before you try to discredit this post with this 3 other games mention, I don't know how Sony bundles GT, if they do with other games or alone, it was just an example based on the infamous+uncharted bundle) I'm sure that Sony would love to have tons of the limited edition console type bundles sold. They are not comparable, the same that don't provide the same earnings the full cost units sold than the bargain bin or platinum/the best/whatever name edition. All this make this comparison much more loopsided, and I'm sure that you would mention it if it were the inverse situation.



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?

No that is not what I said.

GT5 sold well, no doubt! Some of its sales are due to heavy bundling. And no, GT5 was not bundled after three years. In fact it is still being bundled after 3 years.

So talking about sales is a troll thread? Dismantle this site, we can't talk about sales.
