There really isn't that much of a competition, not to mention how heavily GT is bundled.  If you are trying to start a fan war, bravo because you will achieve it.  But Halo has been a much bigger franchise all generation.

Jaywood lol Halo is heavily bundled aswell you know xD cmon man


In Germany the Halo-bundles are limited available. GT5-bundles exist almost since *ever* (read: since game was released). But yes, in general you are right, they both were and GT5 still is bundled.

lol Halo 4 has yet to recieve a bundle besides the collector edition which is geared for people who was going to buy the game anyways.  I can't remember any halo game getting Bundles year in and out.  Ive said it in numerous threads that every 1st party game gets bundled but GT gets bundle multiple times a year along with InFamous 1 or 2 and one of the uncharted games

This thread will explode soon but let's be honest about things.  Halo sold 40m in 6 years on X360 alone.  PS3 sold 17m in 5 years.

What? Ok, this makes GT5 one of the most expansive games this gen? Shall we count every add-on-dlc combined for every game then? Like Dawnguard, Dragonborn and Hearthfire all combined are the real skyrim-sales?

I just checked all my local gaming stores websites and neither are bundled anymore

Prologue is not an add-on though so why would we do that lol??

Dude you live in New Zealand......Halo is an American, UK, European game. That is where it is popular.  Look up ratailers like gamestop, amazon, and walmart in the U.S.  That will give you a better idea of what is going on with Halo.
