This looks like a much better comparison. Every GT has out sold every Halo game except Halo 3 as of right now. Of course Reach and 4 are still selling so this is subject to change but either way looks to me that GT has Halo beat right now.

 

Yeah, much better comparison keeping in mind that ps2 sold way better than first xbox...

But almost every 4th xbox1 gamer bought at least one halo :)

Halo is still the MUCH bigger franchise. You will notice when you see how GT6 on PS3 will be doing. Feel free to compare it to Halo 4 then. Of course Sony will bundle it like hell. Again.


Both franchises should not be compared even though they are the major titles for both brands.

Why not? Both are definitely the biggest exclusive brands for their respective consoles. Therefore they have to be compared.


Thats the problem, they have no genre comparison. The only reason people care to compare them is account of what sells systems. If you want to do that then do the same with Mario Kart and all the others.

As if anyone is interested in the competition with nintendo - really stage, this is ridiculous. If you don't want GT compared to Halo, ok, your opinion (why?) but both are the biggest games for the consoles. I somehow get the feeling you don't want them to be compared for another reason...

And still the sales are only higher in total. Taking into account the units of consoles sold the story looks a bit better for Halo, don't you think?

Why are we comparing a racing simulator to a FPS? Seriously... There is no point to this.

Such as? I love both games. I just don't get it really...no alterior motives here. I can explain to the world why Killzone can't reach Halo numbers, but that would actually be a valid convo. Perhaps we should ask what makes these two games so special?

Either way, there will be a comparison thread and I think it is good to do so because of what I said earlier. I won't put any words in your mouth, especially when you get defensive like you do right now. Have a nice day :)

Defensive? Ok, theres nothing to do defend though, but same to you.
