I'm expecting 3 million sales without bundles.

Dunno if I would call that a sales flop. And Forza 2 doubled the sales from the first game.

Gran Turismo owed a lot of it's sales to bundles.

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

I laugh it sells more than Uncharted 2 first week....

don't, because you will be eaten alive by rabid fanboys...

Then I'll use my defense, "I have both systems so I don't give a s--- which sells more, I can buy both."

u can be still be biased with 2 consoles.

i had both ps3 and a wii, also a DS and PSP ;)-.

nah

I also go for the 3M

but to me, if correctly bundled/marketed, it could be a stellar hit

I m not even mentionning the strong legs it will have

Nope, it will do 1.5/2m before bundling. Sure as hell wont do GT numbers.

If you look at Forza 2. It sales trend clearly shows that it was hevily bundled at some point in its life, And it didnt sell that many without the bundles. (by fanboy expectations)

By the looks of the graph Forza 2 probably sold like 1.5-2 million copies max and the rest are bundled. Just check the sales graphs i have linked and you will see what i mean.

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?game1=Forza%20Motorsport%202%20-%20X360

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Forza+Motorsport+2+-+X360&reg2=All&game2=&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=100&weekly=1

Because of this It is clear that the Forza franchise isnt really a desirable series amongst 360 owners. So i expect Forza 3 to sell around the same amount of units as forza 2s 1.5 millionish. Unles it is seriosuly bundled. by heavily i mean mandatory like how forza 2 was. This is what i like to call the RESISTANCE EFFECT.

So what do you think.

What u mean resistance effect? You talking about Resistance 2?
