Why would it matter if GT5 is bundled to achieve such sales? Hasn't Halo been bundled since release?

Given the fact that every GT has sold 10 million what makes people assume this one wont? I have heard mentioned in this thread that there are doubts but I haven't heard much about those doubts.

Is there any other game that has sold drastically less going from ps2 to PS3 other than series that are multiplatform?

Lol definitely not!  Halo 3 had one small bundle in Europe for a little bit, and its been bundled with the Elite consoles since a couple of months ago.

If you took out bundles Halo 3 probably would be sitting at about 9.5 million instead of 9.9 million.

Hate to be asanine but can I get a link?  I thought I remembered differently.  What about America?

The Halo 3 console didn't come with Halo 3 to put it in perspective. Im pretty sure for all of 2007 there were no real bundles (officially) and that accounts for 75% of the overall sales.



Tease.

Um, I think everyone here is forgetting something. Halo is not in HD. So, it cannot be the highest selling HD game ever.

Ahh, cruel but true.

You could also say the PS3 hasn't go an HD game which has sold over 4M.

I'm not a numbers junkie, but what would be the point of saying that?

 

It just seems pointless.



That does put Halo 3 sales in perspective for me. Now I would like some to explain why it matters whether or not GT5 is bundled and not Halo.

Answers to my other 2 questions would help even more so. I honestly shocked someone hasn't done a PS2 SW numbers by series VS PS3 SW numbers thread yet.

Follow the tree of quotes and you'll understand. If you don't understand then I can't help.

Lol. Then you can't help me. :P

But seriously it has nothing to do with Halo 3 not being HD. No?

Um, how about no?

GT has never had the same attach rate that Halo has had and the Xbox 360 has a higher install base. The games still selling, that moving target of 10M won't be 10M if GT5 reaches the 10M bracket, it will be 11-12M by that time.

that is my answer ^^

People here are underestimating Gran turismo. You will be shocked.



Do you want japanese voices in FF13 and Versus 13? Write to these guys and tell them: support@square-enix-usa.com

Well the GT5 demo ONLY manage to do a not so high 4m.......



No it wont. Sorry. I truly believe Sony fans are in for a shock with GT5 sales. IT will be the lowest selling GT game of all time. I think it will be around 7 mill. Halo 3 will finish around 12-13 mill.
