If you believe vgchartz.com, then Gran Turismo and Gran Turismo 3 both outsold Halo 3.

However, PS3 has sold far less than PS1 and PS2. It is unlikely GT5 could match Halo 3 sales unless PS3 sales pick up quite a bit. Gran Turismo 3 sold close to 15 million...but the install base of PS2 at that point in time was more than 3 times that of PS3 right now.
