bolded: Here you have one of them:

1. No, what the info said was between Forza 5 and Horizon 2, there was absolutely no confirmation that demo players weren't included. Can you prove to me that demo players are not included in this leaderboard, if you can do that then I'll happily admit that demo players aren't included (cause that effectively doesn't matter anyway, the number is still misleading as all hell)

 

2. The point is that that is the reason have a problem with this piece of PR which you apparently don't want to see.

Also if you want this to be an discussion stop crying that "this is only a problem because it's Xbox", no it's a problem because it's giving a number designed specifically to make people think the game sold way more than it actually did.

And this is the demo leaderboard looks, all of them are level 1 because there are no level system in demo.

 

Are you going to add 1.88m in it?

But at least today i know what is true BS and even think yourself is right when you never even played the game.

They problem is only hater think it's a problem and that's it.

ICXM? that just Xbox version of dualshocker, why would you even care that site? you serious think i would give a free pass to Xbox fanboy?

Also check my first reply with the PR and which 3 comment i quoted, even you think the PR is BS, is that mean haters can use another BS like "demo counted" to respond?

 

Oh wait you don't even care racers and yet you spend a lot of time to bashing Forza.

So the demo isn't included, good then I was wrong on that, though you should maybe reread my first reply to you in which I said that it was a possibility and not necessarily a fact. What it certainly isn't is bullshit to see it as a possibility, they already used a straight up lie when saying that it's "unique players", so who's to say it's impossible that they would use this to boost numbers as well?

The rest of your post is just childish.

bolded: Is entirely irrelevant, nothing but a cheap attempt at deflection and I surely would love to know how I "bashed Forza" in that post

Who gives a shit if it's ICXM, you asked for someone saying that and I gave you what you wanted, stop acting like a child (using the term "hater" in a serious fashion is nothing anyone should do) and trying to twist this whole thing. I never said everyone would believe it, but that there are going to be people that will and I just proved to you that I was right

Destiny did amazing.

Most sales will come from Digital upgrade and ~65k for new retail users.



Edit to delete my reply due to listened someone that it's indeed wasting my time.



lol why 3 biggest games on chart is MMO, football and racing, are they not bored to death playing the same thing for every year lol. i guess many console video games are casual.



I don't know which flopped harder: Forza 6 or PES. I guess Konami can stop making it too, just like their other franchises.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Friday is the usual release day for the UK. This hails back to the early days when games literally shipped as and when they were produced. One of the biggest game retailers in the 80s (Dixon's) decided they wanted confirmed dates for games so they could include them in their weekend brochures. As these were distributed in the weekend papers the games needed to be in stock and so Friday became the new game drop day for the UK.

You often gamesheld back from the UK digitalstores until Friday too becauseof this even if already released in mainland Europe.


I had no idea about this, and that's really interesting.  Thanks!

Once again 2 digital editions of Forza 6 were release a week early which didn't count on the charts and you have to consider that Forza 5 had the launch and holiday advantage.



Proud to be a Californian.

No digital sales of any software count though. I'm not convinced digital releases stunt physical sales een if launched earlier.
