Forums - Sales Discussion - Forza 3 will be a sales flop if not HEAVILY BUNDLED!!!!!!!!

2.5+ million before US bundles in 1.5+ years. More XBox owners this time, less crowded Christmas outside of Modern Warfare 2, and the only AAA racer released this year... oh and good word of mouth to.



It's just that simple.

forza 3 is set out to be a more impressive and more hyped product then forza 2 was, I think it will sell about 2-2.5m without bundling and with around the 4.5ish area, but both of those numbers are spread over a large time



Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous

 

Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5,  Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.

 

with good marketing it will sell 2.5M+ with no bundling. But if its bundled we could see an easy 4M+. There are probably alot more racing fans that own a 360 now than there were when forza 2 was released.



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!! 

And if??
2mio copies sold is no flop to me!
MS should know that FM3 is one of their few exclusives this holiday!!!!

That is so nice of PS3 fanboys to worry about FM3....



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

I agree.

It is the next big game releasing, and it is getting hyped up to high heaven by Turn 10 and Selnor. People should expect predictions both bad and good.

Btw, just report him if he calls you a fanboy. It's classed as flaming.

Na. I have never reeported anyone on this site to be honest. Its just not something i do. Even when someone said something a lil raciest i just Pm them advising them to change the post before a mod see's it.

By all accounts FM3 is a much better game than FM2. Hype is far higher. There is no PGR for competition. 2X as many xboxes are in the wild. It is launching at an optimal time. The Q4 delays have moved most of the competition to Q1. Given all of these highly positive factors, how can anyone expect less than a doulbing of non-bundled sales?



i think it could do 1.5~2.5 without bundles i dont see how its a flop at that. unless for some reason we expected it to sell like gt4/ or something.

with a pack in bundle next year, i could see 4-5 if they did it all year, but i think its a good first party game to pack in, now what to pack in with it is the Q... i would say odst, if it has not moved more then 4.5 million units by christmas, but something more kid friendly might be needed... god dmanit rare wheres a new kick ass game ....
