Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Forza 3 sales: Is it under-performing after its advantages over GT

Seems about right given no-one really cares about sims any more.

The big genre is shooters these days.

I'm just waiting for the confirmation that GT5 will sell 10 million units in less then 6 months without any bundles, like most GT/PS3 fans have been saying.

Have you got links to back that up?

Yo!

It's going to be very interesting to see how it's going to debut higher then either version of MW2 in the non-holiday months.

I have gone through 5 pages of that thread so far and it seems the majority believe 7-10M lifetimes sales, with nobody claiming this "in less than 6 months" thing you pulled out of thin air.

Also in regards to the 10M number, even ioi believes it is a fair push.

To be honest 10m is going to be a fair push - possible with some bundling and strong sales over the next 3-4 years at budget price etc.

 

So I am not sure that link proved much of what you just wrote.

 

I didn't even see anyone saying it would launch at MW2 numbers.

 

Where do you find this stuff?

Well like the first one bundles will help. In Europe you have many Forza 3 bundles that can help to sell more than Forza 2.

Euphoria's post kinda says exactly what i was going to.

That's nice, looks like I low-balled it though because the TC is saying 15 million, so 10 million in the first 6 months would seem about right. It's doubtful the game would sell 5 million on "legs".

TC wasn't saying it would sell 15M. He was asking the users here if they thought it would sell 10M or 15M, then the users here let him know what they thought, which was an average of around 7-10M lifetime.

You read it completely wrong my friend.

 

Thread title reads: Gran Turismo 5 to sell over 15 Million LTD or only over 10?

 

Only thing the TC said was:

What do you people think?

 

So now I ask, where did he claim it would sell 15M?

It sells good, will hit 2m easily at the end of the year.

By putting 15 million in the title, he set the ceiling.

The TC is the one i'm referring to.

You still said he claimed it would sell 15M, which he didn't.

 

Anyways this is a pointless argument.
