On december MS announced that the halo franchise has sold 50 million with 4 million included from halo 4. Gran turismo has sold 70 million has sony announced recently. So please update ur numbers they seem a bit biased.

i hope you are joking since Im using the numbers that I have available to me.


what are your sources. These are coming directly from sony and MS themselves  thus more accurate.


-_-  VGC.  You are using out of date shipped figures.  The results I posted will be fairly accurate.


so a couple of days for the gran turismo announcement is out of date to the guesstimates of VGC???

To be fair, the sales should be pretty close now since Halo 4 has sold about 4m more. It might be at 54m perhaps or 55m but the difference won't be huge in any case.

He numbers gran turismo at 67.something which is not inline with sony's numbers over 70 million. However His numbers are inline with MS's numbers 50million +5.something million which might actually be a bit overtracked.

Shipped is not sold from retailers.  It is two different things.

-_- they posted shipped figures.  There is a difference.  Likely halo is some where around 57-58m right now if we go by shipped.

Oh so now ms has zero copies of halo on shelfs using your numbers to MS's. Unless MS says sold to consumers vs sony just saying shipped numbers.

In gen 6, what are the 4 GT games? I know 3, 4P and 4 but what's the other one?

Another thing worth noting:

GT4 Prologue and GT Concept 2001 Tokyo have no NA sales listed. They didn't release there, so that's one disadvantage. Also including those prologues is kind of unfair since they were only a small taster, not full games . 

and microsoft did not even release xbox consoles in japan....

Damn 101 mario games?!? No wonder people complain that Nintendo is overusing the IP!

Ok so let me get this straight MS announced that halo has sold (Shipped) 50 million with 4 million of halo 4 included. And you're telling me that MS shipped another 7 million copies of halo in a 5 month period. BULLSHIT.

Seeing as that article was posted on December 6th which was 4 weeks after the releas of Halo and it had sold 5m by that point and now it is at 8m.  It is very likely that it is near 55m and we dont know digital numbers which are likely pretty high as well.
