Why people are choosing Forza 3 over GT5 is beyond me. GT5 will sell more first week in Europe than Forza 3 will first week worldwide.

I believe you, I mean, how biased could you be?

Gran Turismo 4 sold over 1,000,000 in Europe first week.

Forza 2 sold 350,000 worldwide first week.

FACT.

GT4 was sold on a console with 86M sales at the time of release.

Forza 2 was sold on a console with 10M sales at the time of release.

FACT.

 

GT4 managed 2.5x Forza 2's LTD sales with 8.6x the audience. Care to consider how that matchup would go in the current generation, when it has 0.66x the audience?

Install base makes hardly any difference when you get to a certain point.

Gran Turismo Prologue sold 385,000 units in Europe first week.

The PS3 install base at the time was 11.4M.

So on a similar install base, GT5:P's European first weeks sales outsold Forza 2's worldwide first week sales.
