gtapsycho Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 What do you guys think? halo 3 sold more copies than any other game. Do you think gta4 will top it? And im not trying to start a war between halo and gta either. I just think there is a good chance.

Spartacus Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) It won't sell more copies than Halo 3 did in the first week, but in the long run I think probably. It's shaping up to be a revolutionary step in the right direction for gaming, and will ultimately influence the entire industry. Edit: I don't really know but does it matter?? The way I see it, the more money they get for IV, the better team they'll be able to train and hire, and therefore the better games we'll get in the future.

Erick913 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Probably since its coming out for both 360 and ps3. I don't really know but does it matter?? Spartacus The way I see it, the more money they get for IV, the better team they'll be able to train and hire, and therefore the better games we'll get in the future. In that case I hope they do good...

OptimumPx Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) It's the best selling game of 2007..but not of all time you know. In Halo 3's first 4 months it sold 8.1 million copies. In San Andreas's first 5 monthsit sold 12 million copies. So....yes GTA IV will outsell Halo 3 overall, after all San Andreas outsold Halo 3 in the same time frame.

SovietWarrior42 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I guess it will, but the thing about Halo 3 is a parent would get it for them with out a doubt, the thing is even recommended by a Christian review site. Even if we like it or not, GTA has a big market for underaged kids. Especially after all of this mess with Hot Coffee, GTA will get possibly a slight decrease in sells.

ceedot Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Halo 3 is a one way game. GTA is freeroam, and you can do what you want. The amount of advertising, and hype, IV will definately outsell Halo 3. It's on 2 platforms as well.

scarface910 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Obviously GTA 4 will outsell halo 3, but halo 3 had the best selling in its first week because of how halo 2 ended with a major cliffhanger, which made millions want to buy it as fast as possible. And ceedot has a point. In halo 3 your encouraged to kill the enemy who endangers the planet your protecting, and killing your teammates leads to them turning on you, which is something you wouldnt want in real life. And in GTA you can kill innocent people and get away with it. Which is why a lot of people are against it, as it gives you the freedom to do whatever you want without any repercussions.

Flexo Slim Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It won't sell more copies than Halo 3 did in the first week, but in the long run I think probably. It will. Trust me.

Reincarnated Kenji Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It's going to outsell Halo 3 that's for sure but it's also possible that it could sell more copies in a day or week than Halo 3 did but I wouldn't put too much thought about that. I've always imagined a competition between Halo and GTA. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/311105-gta4-to-outsell-halo-3/#findComment-1057485264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA3LK Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I would expect it outsell Halo 3 as its on both consoles and the hype is increasing very day. GTA4 will for sure out sell Halo 3 in lifetime sales. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/311105-gta4-to-outsell-halo-3/#findComment-1057485323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starion Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 halo is pretty boring anyway i dont no what the big deal is about it if anyone would like to tell me and gta is probably the most entertaning game on earth Yeah me too, i tried the first one and i thought WTF this is like those lame ass shows on sci-fi like farscape or some crap... And i really like FPSes Thats not just disliking Halo, thats disliking the whole Scifi genre in general, and thats a far vaster market than this is. It will sell more copies than Halo 3, just not on the 360. All the platforms added up will beat it easily. I'm not sure it will sell more in the same week though, the Halo 3 hypewagon was huge.
