This may send a lot of hate my way from PS3 and X360 fans but....
Forza 2 was a system seller. Taking out PAL bundles using the same methodology (subtracting Viva Pinata sales from Forza 2 sales between Oct 19th and Feb 23rd), we find out that Forza 2 sold over 1 million copies in PAL territories - somewhere just below 1.1 million.
Since that's the case, 1.1m PAL sellthrough puts Forza 2 in pretty good territory, especially given how poor the install base was at that time.
Forza 3 this Christmas should rack up between 1.5 million and 2.0 million units sold in PAL territories. That should, for all intents and purposes, move some consoles.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
