| Bodhesatva said: Gran Turismo trumps all those games easily. The last Gran Turismo sold more than the last Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Tekken and Killzone combined.
Let me just repeat that without the links, for greater emphasis: the last Gran Turismo game (which was still the lowest total for the series ever, by the way) sold more copies than the combined totals of Metal Gear Solid 3, God of War II, Tekken 5 and Killzone 1. People who think that MGS4/GoWar are in Gran Turismo's territory are dreaming. Gran Turismo is the killer there -- internet nerds such as me have an inflated sense of the importance of the Metal Gear series because it caters almost entirely to us, while games in much bigger franchises such as Gran Turismo and Madden branch out significantly to other markets. We don't really understand how big a deal they are because we don't spend dozens of hours typing huge threads about their backstory and possible future developments and how the gameplay will work and who we think the supporting cast will be and gosh do you guys think Raiden will be a playable character again? Not that Metal Gear isn't a great game or that it's not a big deal, mind you; I'm just saying that people have an overinflated sense of the game's value as a system seller. |
u could have just said 4 GT games sold 46 MILLION
yahh.
