Forums - Sales Discussion - UK Sales (29 Nov - 5 Dec)

But wouldn't you assume that if FM2 was heavily bundled then FM3 would be too, unless it started selling gangbusters without bundling.

MS and Turn 10 have a vested interest in having FM get out to as wide an audience as possible. It's 360's definitive driving sim and it's meant to be the 360's GT killer, exclusive title; one day. It is a title that cannot be allowed to appear to be on the wane by selling less than the fist FM title released on the 360. It will make 4 million in sales and then some. MS/Turn 10 will have a 10 million target for FM4 or 5 (probably FM5 because FM4 will be a launch title for the next gen box?).

@kamil - do you fancy taking up the reins of doing the weekly PAL charts from Seneque? I know a lot of people found them really useful as it pulled together all the Euro charts into one thread - was really neat.

I don't think that I have enough time right now. But if someone else I can help him to start (sending app for formating, finding links).



you pay $100 more for forza motorsport 3 360 edition(last i heard or is it mw2 forza 3 bundle) so that cannot be considered as contributing to sales people are not getting it with every 360 sold you have to pay extra to get it.
great number for forza 3, great legs.



 

 

I'm amazed at Forza Motorsport 3's legs.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

If Forza 3 will continue to sell good with standard bundling there will be no need to bundle the game almost for free like Forza 2 or Uncharted 1, because it will earn money alone.

Sports Resort is doing fantastic. It really is a shame that Red Steel 2 didn't make it this season to push along the M+ momentum. A Momentum that seems to have stalled in terms of new game announcements.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I can do it from next week or even this week actually.



As the subject is Forza 3 legs, could it be a little overtracked???

"Having released near the end of October, Forza Motorsport 3 has now eclipsed 1 million units sold worldwide during its first month at retail, Microsoft announced today."

Hmm, the article states over 1 million during the first month (4 weeks), which is in line with VGC numbers.
