you know what, i cant say. gt5 may or may not sell better because if you put out a great game to compete with another great game like forza 3 something un expected could occur. its been five years so its going to be interesting to see how gt5 does in term of sales and in terms of how well time can make a quality game in five years compared to forza 3. these things i'm looking foward to know and see.

Week 1 - Week 15

GT released in Japan only.

Week 15 - Week 19

GT outsells Forza 2 with moderate bundling.

Week 21

Forza gets bundled with every Pro and Elite model in late October.

Week 45

GT gets forced bundled in Japan.

 

Forza wouldn't of been able to outsell the Proloue without bundling it in Fall through Winter in two systems (Im pretty sure in all 3 regions too but I might be wrong. Japan might not of recieved it)

See, there is a big misconception about GT5P sales in Japan. While they did have a bundle, they also released a cheaper re-release of it dubbed GT5P Spec III. This also sold very well!
