So GT5 is selling faster than halo 3

[QUOTE="Kashiwaba"]

[QUOTE="110million"] PS3 year by year average is 12 million, 360's is 10, math claims it should take first place eventually. sanim02

Stop wasting ypur time with him lol.

Anyway about topic thats a great a great game like GT5 deserves a great sales actually I think its one of the few games which sold a lot and deserved the sales unlike some other games which is all about rehashing.

What does that mean?:? I wasn't bashing anything to begin with.:?

Sorry it wasn't about you it was about the guy who thinks that PS3 still needs saving :P.

[QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"][QUOTE="sanim02"]

Which ditch are you talking about?:? It's making a profit.:P Unless you mean being getting 2nd place which honestly, it'll never attain.:P

FIipMode

The PS3 sells either the same or more than the 360 every quarter. :?

The PS3 sold more software than the 360 in 2009 - 2010.

And both consoles have lost exclusives.

Yo Sp4rtan Laser, I'm still curious about this ditch over here.

"Keep denying the obvious, then. If you think these updates to GT5 weren't to correct flaws *cough*screentearingandframratedrops*cough*, among other things like improving the damage system, and were just released for any reason other than to improve the game because it was clearly flawed at release, then go ahead. There's really no point in arguing with you."

Page 3: While running in 720p:...there are actually lower frame-rates and more tearing than we saw in Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2. Dropped frames and tearing are clearly visible and occasionally rather off-putting.

In 1080p:Yes, there is a small performance deficit (to the tune of around two frames per second on average) and occasionally there is more tearing - but to the human eye there is little that can tell them apart in terms of frame-rate perception.

The game did have those problems. I believe patch 1.05 corrected them, so is it an issue now? No. Was it? Yes.

I dont have it. But call it a hunch. I have a feeling that COD has done severe damage to the game's selling potential WW. GT does not have that problem

All me and Flippy kept finding was $200 million on the first day or whatever.:? I mean even if it sold at least 4 million, you'd think Microsoft would brag about it at LEAST.:?

Yeah that's a shame. However some games did benefit from becoming multiplat, especially the newer IP's that publishers like Capcom or Namco used to produce exclusively for the PS2.:)

dont get me wrong. the Game aill always have great 1st day sales. But the game amd its formula are getting stale. COD has completely stolen its thunder hence the reason the game does not have the legs it used to. All you hear people say or play is blackops. Its sold 4 million in the US by now probably close to 5. But WW its no good. barely cracked 800K in the UK as of the end of Dec. Blackops alone on the 360 in UK has surpassed 2 million. The ps3 version is not too far behind withround 1.5 million as of december ending (these are UK numbers and close estimates). Thats why Microsoft refuses to talk about it. The series has lost its selling power to a far more popular shooter.

I bought one of each. Tie.

Does it make it a better racing game now?JustPlainLucas

For what its worth, you could say the same for halo's always scoring 9s across the board...even that stepchild odst(at least on gs). That is, if it wasnt for its jump on the sword fanbase. Scores and sales dont mean much.

Good for gt5, but I wont be a part of those sales until it hits the 20$ mark. Even with the updates, I cant see myself taking the time to play it. Still, pretty impressive.

GT5 sold 6.37 million in 6 weeks while halo 3sold 5 million in 8 weeks

Just saying......

Good. Even though they aren't the same genre Halo 3 is extremely overrated and just as bad as MW games. GT5 gets too much hate.

and to think, sony didnt have to advertise gt5 no where near as much as halo 3

Depends who you ask. How many people call foul on supermario kart 64 or play mvc2 immensely even at a 7.5? Hell, mgs3 vanilla, and dropping from its 9.0 days, yet being widely excepted to be the best. Foul Ball? Maybe, maybe.. There may be a general consensus of scores, but if I had a nickel every time I got a bad taste in my mouth over an AAA... When it comes down to it, reviewers are gamers, like us, with a paycheck.

Of course they'll be more closey indicative of quality; Its their job. but when the hype train comes, I never put all my eggs in one basket over them. A realistic approach is to read a review. Multiple reviews. Then look up gameplay and get a consensus from the bigger group. "Normal" gamers you could say. Not see a score, read the good/bad and jump. Just my view.

As for sales, Well they dont matter whatsoever.

And again...both are great games and both deserve solid sales :)Ravensmash

Rage010101

Dang, thats true mate :?

Imagine Sony giving it a 200-150 million advertising budget ala Activision. GT5 could've easily outsell GT3.

GT5 wasn't as great as I was hoping but 6.37 million already is pretty insane. I was expecting that after like a year, I think it could hit 10 million by the end of this year.

I wonder how many PS3s are sold compared to the number of 360s sold back then when Halo 3 was released... hmmm....themyth01

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

[QUOTE="BodyElite"]I bought it and launch and sold it 2 weeks later. It's terrible, trust medanjammer69

Have we ever had an update on Halo Reachs sales? I don't think I've seen it talked about at all here.FIipMode

there have been tons and tons of patches coming out weekly. Far more than GT5. Just go on Bungie.net and look at the weekly updates.

Good for Polyphony, they deserve the sales. Its a great game, and the constant patches keep improving it :)

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

NWA90s

The fact is, cows used to downplay sales every time a 360 exclusive sold great and say sales don't matter. Then when GT5 came out and flopped hard, it went from "GT5 will score a 9.5 or 10 and be the greatest racing game ever.", to, "Well... uh... it'll destroy Forza 3in sales!" "This game will sell more than all 3 Forzas combined!" "Who cares if it flopped it'll still sell millions!"

The list of excuses goes on, but you get the point. Oh, that GT5 hype thread was hilarious.

[QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"][QUOTE="sanim02"] The ditch where it sells the least monthly, the ditch where barley any software can top the wii or 360. The ditch where they were losing "exclusives" left and right a couple of years ago. Ps3's in last even with a price cut and the introduction of move so the ditch is pretty deep.FIipMode

The PS3 sells either the same or more than the 360 every quarter. :?

The PS3 sold more software than the 360 in 2009 - 2010.

And both consoles have lost exclusives.

Hmm? the ps3 is 160 million software sales + behind the Wii and 360 so one year it sold more...*it sold more by less then I believe 5 million units* 1 years means nothing when its 160 million + behind.

@TC cows like to talk about how sales mean nothing...so I'll say this...Reach didn't flop.

Sp4rtan (who still hasn't replied to me lol) said it can barely top any of 360's software sales, my link shows it did, end of.

nice sales...

doesnt change the fact that the intro made me wanna bang my head against the wall... and that was just the beginning

9.5 > 8.0. GT5 flopped hard, get over it.Vadamee

GT5 got 8 because PS3 games have to live to higher standards than others to get the same rating. Just compare it with Forza 3, there's not a single aspect of GT5 that is worse than Forza, yet it gets low ratings.

The game was GOTY material when it was released, and with all the content and changes its worth double now.
