GT5 will outsell Halo 3 . Halo 3 is almost 10 milion and it can reach 11 million lifetime, but GT5 will sell 12-15 million.
It doesn´t matter the less ps3 user base, GT5 is always a 9,5/10 game and has millions of fans.
GT5 is one of few games that sell very very high everywhere ( japan, us, others); Halo will never be in japonese people hearts.


 

^^This!

 

 

The PS3 installed has proven it cannot support even one title over 5 million copies. Do you actually want to whole heartedly support that theory?

You sure about that?

 The point is PS2 userbase reached 125 millions and contributed to the GT3 numbers. PS3 userbase is in a completely different league. You can't compare PS2 with PS3, it's like comparing games on the GC vs. the Wii.

Ohh god why more of this GT3 sold to 120 million user base stupidity.

Its successor came out when PS2 was at 60 million sold, OK get it through your heads.

 

Cant compre GC to wii orly.

GC mario sunshine 6.2 million, SSBM 7 million.
Wii mario galaxy  8 million, SSBB 8 million

Looks like even with double the user base the strong franchises sale similar to as they did on the GC.

Try to understand GT5 will sale 10 million no matter what the PS3 user base is when it comes out, the franchise is just that god damn strong.  Mario GTA Halo Gran Turismo Final Fantasy are the juggernauts of the industry.

GC mario sunshine 6.2 million, SSBM 7 million.
Wii mario galaxy  8 million so far, SSBB 8 million so far

Looks like even with double the user base the strong franchises sale similar to as they did on the GC.

Try to understand GT5 will sale 10 3 millions no matter what the PS3 user base is when it comes out, the franchise is just that god damn strong.  Mario GTA Halo Gran Turismo Final Fantasy are the juggernauts of the industry.

lol...in that case, how much MORE would GTA IV have sold on PS3 as an exclusive?

 

 

 

Hypotheticals don't count! lol! ;P



Both titles have excellent legs. So when comparing them both I strongly believe Gran Turismo 5 will fair well stronger in Europe and Japan than in America and it might do or achieve Halo 3 numbers but no where near the hype that Halo 3 presented to the public at its launch date.

Forza isn't inferior its everything gran turismo has plus damage and minus graphics.

The only reason GT sells so much better is because it has the name on it.

Point in case:  GT5: Prologue got 80 on metacritic, Forza 2 got 90, the only reason why GT5: Prologue sold almost as much as Forza 2 is the name..nothing more nothing less.  

Prologue could have gotten a 50 metacritic and it still would have almost sold the same, simply because of the name.

So really forza 2 is not inferior in the least to GT, it just isn't quite as well known and die hard GT fanboys won't even try playing it because they assume its a trash game.

 

 

Way inferior, to millions of GT fans it simply wont do.

Simple way to explain is all the Halo fans would not like K2 gamepaly.  Now both games got reviewd +9s but that just wont do.

By the way for some one that argues agianst GTs popualrity you sure think its Name is uber powerfull enough to sell a 5/10 score by the millions.

 

Comparing KZ2 to Halo is like apples and oranges.

Forza and GT offer basically the exact same thing.  They both are realistic driving sims that have decent to great graphics hundreds of cars, multiple tracks, online play.   They are so close to each other in gameplay how could you like one and hate the other??

The ONLY reason why Forza doesn't sell as well is because it doesn't have GT on the name, and the millions of GT fanboys won't buy it simply because it doens't have the GT name on it.   

 

 



LOL, I find it funny that you guys are comparing an Arcade racing franchise like Gran turismo to a first person shooter, I don't think the sales even matter, because the games are different.

Why not compare Halo 3 sales to killzone 1, Killzone 2, Resistance 1 and Resistance 2 sales all combined, that would make much more sense don't you think.

Even though Forza 2 got a higher overall rating than GT5: Prologue, another sony fanboy in full swing LOL!!!
