More POPULAR? Not in any stretch of the imagination. Higher SELLING? Yeah.

Halo is more popular because it isn't just a game series anymore. I've seen novels, toys, machinimas, parodies, cartoons, comics, t-shirts, drinks, dolls, sculptures, and for even the THOUGHT of Halo having a movie rose a huge turnout of people hoping for it not to mention the ungodly and extremely active fanbase, including the tons of people who even just sat outside of Gamestop on launch day.

As far as popularity goes, Halo eats just about every other possible video game franchise. As far as sales goes, GT sells, or is bundled with(I wasn't tracking last gen) more then Halo.

But doesn't this have something to do with the fact that we live in America?

Then show me the European Gran Turismo soda, books, comics and movies.

That line of reasoning is a bit specious, don't you think? To this day, I've never seen GTA sodas, comics, etc. Does this say anything about GTA's popularity? No. The sales really ought to speak for themselves.

Gran Turismo

Only blind fanboys will think otherwise...

I'm glad to see you aren't one of them...

Anyways, Gran Turismo USED to be the more popular franchise, but Halo is now.

Hmm, that's funny. Halo 3 still hasn't passed the latest Gran Turismo yet!

Will the Hours put into halo 3 equal the hours put into GT...I dont think there is a way to know the GT hours...but here are the halo hours...! billion Matches played!!

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3173060

That's about as irrelevant as annoucing that billions of Covenant have been killed in Halo 3's campaign.

Idk its actually somewhat relevent, it just means alot of people are playing sick amounts of halo which could pertain to it being to some degree more popular. I mean come on 1 billion matches is brutally sick!!! if you average out 6 minutes per match (mind you i'm taking the low end of how long each match takes) you get 4.16 million, 24 hour DAYS, or 11,415 years.  My mind can't even comprehend just how long of a time that is.

It doesn't have a soda, book, or comic I think. Neither has a movie.

Although I know GT has very nice watches! People have branded their cars with GT logos. I'm sure there is more. I just spent 5 mintues with google search.

I know these are fan-made...but really...when a game gets THIS kind of stuff made about it just from fans:
