Tee hee hee!

Seriously!  Watch it, there is a nice car, and a good story, but almost no races in the whole movie!

Both are big games hard to tell.

1st: The prediction I made is almost 4 years old I guess. Really?
2nd: God of War III never made it to 5 million, but it got closer than I thought. I give you that.
3rd: offtopic?

Total IP sales. GT

This generation only: Halo by a loooong shot. No contest.

Guess where the PS fans are gonna pick? Guess what the Xbox fans are gonna pick? Ya, there will never be a nice answer to this.

I say the Xbox perspective makes more sense as its more current and doesn't rely on the crutches of generations past.

The cherry picking in this thread is very very strong. Lol!

OT: 

I still don't understand how people using Halo is bigger this gen. because it sold a total of 40M+ card? Halo have 6 games compare to 3 that's not even a fair comparison.

It isn't about total sales of the series but rather how single games sells. Those people who bought those 6 games are also the same people who bought the game. Those 40M totals sales are not even a unique person or 40M different person. 

It's like saying COD is the bigger compare to Mario because the totals sales of COD is bigger compare to Mario because COD has more games because of it's yearly releases or it's like saying Killzone is bigger than Halo because it has 5 games with 11M  compare to 1 Halo game with 10M sales this gen. Yes that's how I see it when people are combining the total sales.

This is also directed to the people who are using the the Total sales of GT franchise.

Halo is bigger "now" because GT 5  still hasn't outsold HALO 3. Last Gen it was GT but right now it's HALO. Halo is the bigger franshice now because this is the present and we can't use the numbers last gen because it was in the "Past".

Anyway, The bottomline is both are big game in their own rights and nobody can argue with it.

Fair? Who said anything about fair? Take it up with Polyphany if you think its not fair. Comparing IP vs IP in this generation, regardless of games released, is a great way to see how they are doing currently, not relying on the crutches of times almost a decade old and beyond. 

Not directed at you specifically, because even you admit Halo is bigger this gen, but directed at others.

In the end, what many, or most neglect, is that $$$$ brought in by each IP determines the winner. This is a industry after all. Halo brought in waaaaaay more $$$$ this gen, signifying that it truly is the bigger franchise. 

Makes sense for you since GT was at its best when Halo was starting out, and now Halo has exploded in relevance while GT has been hampered by its developers slow release schedule. 

It isn't cherry picking if you refer to the current generation only...as that automatically refers to several years and counting. It also is the most current generation, giving a more accurate picture of how the IPS are doing in modern times. 

Relying on the crutch that GT was a sales juggernaut in generations gone doesn't change that Halo has sold several millions and brought way more $$$$$ then GT has this generation.

Basically, to truly bring home why your logic doesn't work.......how is GT sales from the 90s and early 2000's relevant to a 2013 Sony? Why would Halo 1 and Halo 2 sales be relevant to MS today? Beyond being a bullet point in their rcords, both companies only care what their IPs are bringing in currently. 

Nope

GT5 has sold more units than both Reach and Halo 4. And is only about 1 million short of Halo 3. Halo is a shooter, and not even the biggest shooter on the Xbox

"Which is the bigger 1st party exclusive". Halo sold more this gen, brought in more $$$ this gen. That about answers the thread. Simple. 

And your origional point is extremely wrong. PS3 relied on many other exclusives this gen, due to GT5 taking so long. Halo still remains the go-to exclusive for XBox and has received constant exposure. 

So Guitar Hero is bigger than GT?
