    I'd say it will by a tiny portion. These reviews coming in thick and fast are reporting on the game, that's leaving out the storyline. How amazing will it be when it's included!

    Of course.

    Gta is on both xbox and playstaion.

    It has a whole other console to outsell Halo.

    seriously GTA IV could take a dump, mix it with a dump from daikatana and it would still produce a better game than any halo game.

    *yawn*

    We get it, you don't like halo :rolleyes: Kinda boring yore repetative bleeting about how crap you think it is. Also it's irrelevant to the topic.

    Just because a game outsells other games, does not mean its a better game. People will buy anything that is advertised well. Saying that, Gta is gonna ****ing rock.

    It will probably outsell at Halo least 2:1 going by this.
    GTA is the most popular game of modern times (excluding nonsense games like sims etc)

    halo crap.

    point proven.

    Well considering GTAIV isen't even out and therefore hasn't outsold Halo3 yet your point is not proven its complete fabrication.

    Your a dumbass.

    Point proven. :)

    Irrelevant of whether Halo is crap or not (personally I think its a well-polished game that doesn't re-invent the wheel), crap games almost always outsell good games! Look at ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War etc. versus all the FIFA iterations (though 2008 is an improvement), countless movie tie-ins etc.

    I do believe it will outsell Halo, its obvious tbh, its across two consoles! But I actually think it will also outsell Halo solely taking the Xbox360 figures into account.

    has halo 3 not pretty much out sold most other games?

    so going by your logic, it would make halo a good game


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭nevaeh-2die-4


    of course it will halo was crap

    although grammatically you attacked no one, please keep the personal insults to a minimum here... despite being the gta forum, we're a nice bunch of folks.

    Without multiplayer I dont htink it would but because multiplayer im probably going to get more hours out of this game that any other console game before!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    Really really pointless thread tbh. Of course it will outsell Halo.


    It's been around longer
    It's more popular
    It's on both gaming platforms

    retard thread!

    No offense Cremo, but every thread that ever mentions Halo you seem to wade in like Halo slept with your mother and killed your dog.

    Fanboi-ism is a 2 way street.

    I fixed it for you.

    Comparing halo and cod = ok
    Comparing gta and saints row = ok
    Comparing an fps with a third person freeroaming action adventure game = retarded


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    No, it still is a better game. More appealing, longer and better know worldwide. All of those things have nothing to do with the type of game it is. Even if it was only on the one console, I still reckon it would outsell it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    gta4 could be the worst made game of all time and itll still sell huge number

    personally i find the gta games mind numbingly boring after a few hours, but im getting this one coz the multiplayer looks great fun

    given a choice of 1p games, id take halo over gta any day, and i dont rate halo too highly by any means


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,653 ✭✭✭steviec


    GTA really should sell at least twice as much as Halo 3 did, Halo isn't in the same class in terms of being a recognised brand name - remember that not that many people had original Xboxes so most of the hype for Halo 3 was paid for by Microsoft, whereas most of the hype for GTA is genuine fan hype from the millions of people who played the previous games in the series.

    I hate Xbox owners going on about Halo, played it and did'nt think it was special tbh, an adverage game and nowhere near the likes of MGS, GTA, Hitman etc..... Best shooter is available on both platforms(COD 4), really looking forward to the next edition of that one!!
