sorry ment selling 10 millon i wish it would sell that much but these stupid games (forza need for speed shift) and people who switched to xbox will eat away its numbers unless we find out at e3 thats its coming out in august or early september hopefully with a bundel

Dude Forza is an extremely good racing sim, it offers basically everything that GT offers, just doesn't have as good of graphics and it doesn't have the name behind it either.

 

neither the amount of cars or racing tracks.

 

 

Forza 3 will have 100 tracks and 400 cars. Don't know yet about GT5.

600 cars and around 100 tracks also.

 

 

From what I've heard GT5 won't be release until atleast 2010. Maybe till then they will have 1000 cars.

Dude the difference between 400 cars and 600 cars doesn't really matter, do you really need that many cars, but i'm talking about gameplay which is basically the same in either game.  its all about how fun the game is and whether you like it or not they are basically both just as fun as the other.

well, one lone car does not measure up to all the merchandise, the huge fan base, and Halo's Warthog, complete with 4 wheel turning. (there may be more of these as it was created for THE MOVIE)

 

Lol.  I just read your sig-line.   You have to be a joke account.  There is no way someone would be touting what you have written there. Hahaha.

Says the poor guy who got owned...you never did tell me what your job was btw.

 

It's really not even a fair fight.  You actually are trying to pawn off your (2-year degree) as something to puff your chest out about.  What exactly is your 2 year degree in again?  (You never specified),  merely just mis-spelled the degree that you claimed you have.  

As for me?  I'm a Programmer.  (I've been employed at my current job for about 2 years) and employed since I was 16 doing various jobs.   That's about all you really need to know.  I have my BS in Computer Science.  Working on my Masters currently.

Wish to own me further?

I can't believe there are people who believe Forza will do better than GT5.

If you're going to measure something, you have to set criteria. So what makes something more popular than something else?

I'll repost my last post:

But we are talking overall popularity, not sales.

Well then, if we are to distinguish between the two, define popularity, show me how it is at all provable, and how one could seperate themself from the bias of their environment (e.g. if you live in North America, own only a 360 and Halo is a common talking point among friends).

Anyhow, the best measure of popularity for a product is sales and/or demand. Would you disagree?

Who sets the criteria? It has been stated many times in this very thread, first of we are talking this gen, not last, so sales numbers are irrelevant at this point, and second, if it were only sales, then I guess many Wii games are more popular than either. However you don't see all the hype or following for any of the GT series or Wii games that Halo 3 received.

Dude you are as hopeless as they get.  The thread title is clearly asking which is the more popular..."SERIES".  Series.   Gran Turismo 1, 2, 3,4 Prologue, 4, 5 Prologue, 5....Halo 1,2,3,ODST.

1. a group or a number of related or similar things, events, etc., arranged or occurring in temporal, spatial, or other order or succession; sequence.
2. a number of games, contests, or sporting events, with the same participants, considered as a unit: The two baseball clubs played a five-game series.
3. a set, as of coins or stamps.
4. a set of successive volumes or issues of a periodical published in like form with similarity of subject or purpose.

 

 

 

The OP using the word "Series"  completely means that he is referring to not just this 'gen' but every pre-existing generation in which there was a series of this sort.   When talking about the series and it's overall popularity you are talking definitely about the entire set of games popularity on a World-Wide basis.   

 

You're wrong, narrow-minded and completely oblivious to the facts no matter how many times it's been thrown in your face.

Halo is only popular in North America and Europe maybe.  GT is popular every where mostly in Japan.  So GT is more popular.
