Woot!

I know which one is the better game now.

Rampage incoming.

Looks like I won't be playing Halo 3 anymore.

Thats amazing.. is it bad that i still dont have GT5 yet? :P it needs a price drop! too many games! :P

Funny how sales used to not matter to cows until GT5 came along...

How many 360 consoles were available at the Halo launch vs. how many PS3s there are out here now? Just wondering.

Picking on one specific faction doesn't work though because I remember lemmings saying ps3 has no exclusives or hell has "no games".:P Not to mention the whole "no AAAe" titles, which I also laughed at.:P

But yeah SW is a funny place.:P Everything is irrelevant to fanboys when they have specific ammo they can use against eachother.:P

True, Call of duty devs need to learn from this

[QUOTE="Totalgym9000"] it's been getting some really good updates, it's nice to know when you buy a game it continues to get support from the developers in a big way.TintedEyes

They need to say this? I thought that was the reason it scored 8.0?

[QUOTE="TintedEyes"][QUOTE="Doolz2024"]The only reason GT5 has received so many updates post-launch is because it was unfinished and NEEDED to be improved. :|

Gran Turismo 5 = King of outselling Halo 3... Ness... Dom.

[QUOTE="percech"][QUOTE="TintedEyes"] Link to polophony saying this?TintedEyes

I think the difference in usebase might have played a roll in that. 45ish million PS3s sold when GT5 released, and only like 15 million 360s sold when Halo 3 released.

LordQuorthon

Ahh that wouldn't happen since people wouldn't believe it.:P They would probably bring stuff up like "sales/shipped/wrong info/not believing Sony/it flopped either way"... Or other creative things.:P

Either way, people shouldn't really care about sales to begin with but SW would suck then.:P

It had games but knowing cows, they always hyped things to the moon.:P Just because a game isn't AAA or an exclusive isn't AAAe, it doesn't mean it's bad, something we tend to hear A LOT nowadays.;)

However the 360 was vastly superior back then but nowadays it's just for some, things have changed.:P

amazing that a series with a fanbase over 120 million, is selling faster than a series with a fanbase of like what 10 mil?

I don't know, that new Michael Phelps game looks pretty boss.

Look at the updates released for the game and all the improvements they brought. THOSE speak for themselves. Look at the 8.0 it got here on GS when it was supposed to easily get a 9.5 and was hyped by some to get a 10.0. THAT speaks for itself, too.

The game was clearly not where it should and could have been at release, thus the less-than-stellar reviews, and the fact that so many additions and adjustments have been made to the game through patches, which in turn, have greatly improved the game... to point where it easily could have been at launch.

I know but I forgot unfortunately.:( I mean 11,111 post was soo badass though.:P I mean it was literally the release date of Uncharted 3.:lol:

But yeah that Michael Phelps game looks sweet! I'm still hoping that a AAAe Kinect game comes out so I can win my bet against SolidTy.:lol:

[QUOTE="FIipMode"][QUOTE="Doolz2024"]At one point the whole "PS3 has no games" line was actually a pretty accurate assessment of the system, though.

Doolz2024

But it had more exclusives come out that the 360 has this year.;):P

Didn't Halo 3 come out with 20 million console sold versus 40+ million for GT5?

GT games have always destroyed Halo games in sales. Why is this a surprise? :/

Everyone was denying this when and before GT5 launched == most of them were saying it a dying game from a dying genre with a lot of competition...etc.
