Gran Failismo?


Yet will still out sell the last 2 forza games combined....Every second Gt game sells lower then the first of a gen.

Well there's a pipe dream if I ever heard one! I'd expect it to just pass Forza 4 sales at  best! (currently at 4.03mill)

It's possible considering he said the last 2 Forza games which is Horizon and F5. Horizon is only at 1.53M and F5 just came out. However, even if you wanted to use the "main installments" with F4's 4.03 and F5 might still work. If F5 doesn't get it's annual bundle next christmas then it's sales won't be at 4M. It might be then closer to 3M if that. Even then with GT legs, it's quite possible.

So no, GT6 is not a flop.


While you are right in the aspect of predecessor sales, no GT games has been forcasted to only move 50% of the previous game. The lowest  (if we go by VGC #'s ) was from GT3- GT4 which was still 78% of it's predecessors sales. 

The game launched 5 days ago. give it some time.

And even if it sells less I'm pretty sure micro transactions will make up for the lost revenue

I would think someone jumped the gun on sales interpretation.

Japan is not about home consoles. Its about portables.


No gun jumping here. Apparently SM3DW was a bomb @ 100K (almost 10% of Wii U owners bought first week in Japan). So, with that logic GT 6 must be a bomb as well! I also can't wait to see N.A #'s

Oh... it was an agenda then? Indeed. Neither one is a flop. Its just console fan wars.

Yeah but counting Forza Horizon would be like saying Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is a main game in the Final Fantasy series, it just isn't. If he's going by that and not 4 & 5 then it may be possible. I personally think Forza 5 will manage to reach clsoe to 5 mill (3 mill seems to low,imo) , only because it's the highest rated exclusive launch title for Xbone.

I don't think it bombed by any means but from what I can tell GT/Forza/Every racing game except for Mario Kart sells the best in Europe. Personally I find the gameplay in them really bland, but if cars and racing are your thing then thats cool with me. I would'nt call this a flop yet, but lets see in the game has any legs.



Sony's been droppin' bombs lately.

Gran Turismo will still the best selling racing ip on console and 8 millions sales worldwide is a give.


Have a suspicious feeling it won't even come close to that, considering it's 50% opening in Japan and now 20% in the UK.
