Yeah, but its pointless to compare directly with Halo 3. No Halo game has been bundeled as much or pushed as hard simply because there was a new Halo game every few years.

MS is also doing the right thing with Halo, more releases made it significantly more proftiable than Gran Turismo.

What next? Boast about GT5 selling better than a PS3 port of CoD? Who cares, there is a new one every year.


Forgetting about the 5.35M copies of GT5:Prologue?

Many of those were bundles as well.

Lets include Halo ODST as well I guess. It shared the multiplayer of Halo 3 and that's a big reason people buy Halo games.


How many is many? Also, talking like Halo 3 didn't get bundles...



Shhh... Shhh be quiet they might hear you. We have to pretend Sony is the only one who bundles games with an extra accessory. Forget about this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Halo-3-Special-Edition-20-GB-Green-Gold-Console-NTSC-/171133498756

And this: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-250GB-Reach-Console-Bundle/dp/B003O6EETU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1381300500&sr=8-4&keywords=Halo+3+bundle

And don't even begin to mention this to anyone: http: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Limited-Edition-Halo-Bundle/dp/B003O6JIFA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381300500&sr=8-2&keywords=Halo+3+bundle

Remember what I told you today it's ONLY Sony that bundles games ONLY Sony! /Sarcasm

You didn't understand my argument.

I didn't claim Halo games were never bundled, so what you posted is irrelevant. My point was no single Halo title was bundled as heavily as GT5. Which is accurate. There were different GT5 bundles for years.

This is the most recent one I recall... http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/07/ps3-500gb-legacy-bundle-unveiled-includes-gt5-xl-infamous-2/

Try not to be so touchy.

Show me who said GT5 wouldn't reach 5 million. Nobody can say that and is serious.

Oh, I once had a discussion with Stage but google for GT5-bundles... There are a *lot* to find...

GT5P launched as bundled software for the PS3. It was years back when they were struggling to move units. So many of those unit sold were bundled at no additional cost.

GT5P and GT5 are heavily bundled software. Which is fine, but should be taken into consideration when boasting about sales. Is that not a fair argument?

Did I say Halo 3 was never bundled? Absolutely not, but no single Halo was ever bundled as heavily as GT5.

Nope, Halo 3 will be the free game for x360 this month or the next. Plus its at the end of a generation, I doubt it will keep selling as high numbers for a nother few years when there will be a growing amount of used games from people upgrading.

Probably true but exactly how many more bundles did Gran Turismo 5 get compared to Halo 3? and could you seperate them by region?

Of course people said that. There were predictions from 4-6 million from a handful of idiots. Don't underestimate people. Only crazy Sony fanboys thought it would reach 10 million.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

I believe Halo will still have the lead in the end over GT5 and that is mostly due to the upcoming release of GT6. I wonder how the sales of GT6 and Halo 4 will be three years from now?



Generation 8 Predictions so far.....(as of 9/2013)

Console that will sell most: Nintendo Wii U

Who will sell more consoles between Microsoft/SONY: SONY
