Wikipedia says. GT3

best-selling unbundled console games of all time, just below Wii Fit Plus.

Who do i believe?


Lol dude wikipedia, everyone can add things to a wiki. That doens't mean they are correct.

i'm a Wikipedia guy i believe everything on it

And yet you still haven't explained how that relates to what I said...

I meant that i still i believe that GT3 is the best selling unbundled console game of all time.

Sony has already generated enough money from Gran Turismo on the PS3. GT5P sails also count as GT5 sails. Let's also not forget that GT5 didn't cost a 100 million dollars to make like Halo 4 did so Microsoft has to sell more copies by default to earn the same amount of money as Sony has made.

Not sure how to respond to that. You clearly think more of GT than the shilliest of Sony shills if you expect it to compete in todays market against a big FPS.

My beliefs mirror that of my observations with the enemy. So if your telling me PS fans don't hold GT in such high regards as they used to, I shall in turn tone down my perception of GT.

Do you think that Gran turismo 5 can sell 14m in just 2 years? it took GT3 8 years to sell 14m and it took 5 years for GT4 to sell 11m

Gran Turismo is all about legs. GT5 in 2 years sold 9m give it another 2 years and it will pass GT4. maybe?

Don't bother. This guy doesn't think sales matter unless they are from the current year. I guess 2012 Halo 4 sales are now irrelevant and only Halo 4 2013 sales will be relevant.

By his logic, Forza Horizon is a more popular game than Grand Theft Auto lmao.

Classy, bashing me unprovocked.

FYI, my views on Forza and GT are totally unique and they may or may not transfer over to my opinions on any other video game.

And by my logic, Forza was more popular then GTA......in 2012. You still don't get it.

I figured GT5 Prologue sales cancelled out the dev costs.....guess I was wrong.

Humans can have differing opinions or change their minds as time goes by. To stand still in body and especially in mind is to not progress in life :)

But my last line proves my logic is transferable. Doesn't mean my life is now condemned to just comparing yearly sales. I can do lifetime sales when appropriate. I think I just hit a nerve, youll fell better tomorrow.

Where was it confirmed that GT5 was a 100 million dollar project?

Halo 4 cost that much not GT5. GT5 reportedly cost 60 million to make.

i like the 2012 Uncharted vs Gears of War in your thingie (i dont know whats it called) seems like gears is taking a huge dive.

Not bashing it Gears of War is still one of the best games i ever played.
