Wow why are you being so defensive? I just gave additional information.
Should i compare Forza Horizon to NBA2k, that is an already established franchise? No! I compared it with other racing games.
Gran Turismo 6, the biggest racing franchise,  sold less than 180k in its first month (4 weeks tracking vs 1 for Horzion 3). And that was back in  2013, when digital sales were much lower.

And i also gave you an answer about your question about the only exclusive.
Forza Horizon was the only "big" exclusive, that launched, but not the only exclusive. Recore and Monster Hunter also launched that month...

You gave irrelevant information which distorts perspective so I merely corrected you. And no you shouldn't compare horizon to NBA, not only because they're completely different genres but also because ones multi platform while the other is exclusive which again would make that a moot point.  What your "perspective" is would be akin to comparing Recores launch sales to the sales of Ratchet & Clank, both being $40, similar genres, exclusives, but ones established and one isn't. The comparison to GT6 would be somewhat relevent but there are still noticeably different conditions with that in that GT6 launched on PS3 like a month after the PS4 came out during Christmas. 

 

Your second statement, about "big exclusives", I had genuinely forgot that recore launched that month so some clarification was needed. Appreciate the answer

wow just go on and double down
how dare i give sales information in a topic about sales...

but i learned my lesson. i will never again give further information to a person like you. no need to have a discussion with such a negative personality
