Why do Games Like Halo And Gears of War ALWAYS Massively Outsell games Like Uncharted & Last of Us?

[Snitchin Splatter]

that nikka straight up ignored that question with Gran Turismo sales lmao...nice thread breh

cool story breh, but Halo 3 OUTSOLD GT 5

And Halo Reach, which dropped around the same time has sold basically the same amount.

Nice argument but debunked

And that was vgchartz if you want to look it up. I'm not into the hip site to get stats. That's just what I found

According to statistics, while Halo has topped the charts with over 30 million copies sold, and Gran Turismo with over 50 million, these two still pale in comparison to how much Wii Sports delivered. Their number for the Wii Sports title alone is pegged at 63 million copies.



But the numbers for Halo and Gran Turismo shown here are franchise numbers. Combined, they make up 80 million sold units. For the Wii Sports franchise, the number is up at 81 million. Unbelievable? Believe it.






Now I didn't post this for the wii stats but damn. But yea. GT is killing them out there. That's the whole series

Here's GT5 alone

Total Units
North America:2.63m25.0%
+ Europe:1.99m18.9%
+ Japan:0.80m7.6%
+ Rest of the World:5.11m48.5%
= Global10.54m

And here's halo 4

Total Units
North America:5.79m68.1%
+ Europe:1.88m22.1%
+ Japan:0.04m0.5%
+ Rest of the World:0.78m9.2%
= Global8.50m




Again...... The US does not equal the world. Although it is crazy how much the markets switch up. Reminds me of Japanese developers saying years ago "I don't know why Americans love these FPS, they all look the same"

I think shooting games just do better in a country where having guns is legal

so we ignore halo 3 and reach

vgchartz is known for fabricating sales numbers breh.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

so we ignore halo 3 and reach

Halo 3. I posted above. Dropped 3 years ahead and outsold GT 5 by 1.2 mil

so 30M+ halo games have sold this gen

And about 18m GT games have sold

vgchartz is known for fabricating sales numbers breh.

That's why I said I wasn't hip on which site to go by. So my bad if that's all wrong

I will say I got all numbers from them. So if they use a fake system. It's still the same system used for all stats I posted

But I'll accept being wrong if they're not reliable.

My only point was FPS seem to be an American thing. It's why we have 25 FPS a year but maybe a third of any other titles.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

so 30M+ halo games have sold this gen

And about 18m GT games have sold

Game for game you're losing. So yea, seeing how halo released more games this gen, it makes perfect sense.

But game for game. They not seeing GT. and it's all from other countries. Other countries don't feel FPS like America. Same way we don't feel FIFA like we do madden.

 

[satam55]

They sell more because dude bro shooters will always have a big fanbase

Microsoft invests in only dude bro shooters and I don't blame em. That's where the money's at. Ps3 had a much more varied catalogue of big budget exclusives though.

But yeah, dude bro shooters sell. That's why COD is consistently the best selling game.

But does that make it better than any other game? Of course not

And PS exclusives always leave with awards, last of us is gonna take GOTY, even over GTA V
I mean, I don't care about awards but Xbots seem to (ohhh titanfall won ____ award!!!)

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! END THREAD!!! This is probably why Sony is pushing "Killzone: Shadow Fall" (& "Killzone: Mercenary") so hard as a launch title before "Titanfall" & "Halo 5" come out next year.

Again your wrong.

The best selling halo beats the best selling GT

And the least selling halo beats the least selling GT

Truth hurts but you posted it yourself

 

[Christian3o5]

Halo's the GOAT

 

[DMR]

Lol at xbots madly twisting facts and numbers

Now please compare AAA exclusives series only in sales:

Halo, gears and forza vs gran turismo, mgs, god of war, uncharted, lbp, killzone, resistance

 

[Crakface]

They appeal more to people that like tactical military type games.
