PGR: I was going to say the same thing. Microsoft's decision looks a little better after seeing these sales numbers. Maybe they think Forza is enough, or maybe they're not that impressed by Bizarre? I don't know or care much about these car games, but personally I enjoyed the PGR4 demo a lot more than the Forza 2 demo, so I'm a bit surprised by the low sales for PGR4. Can someone shed some light on this? Is it because Forza has all those car customization options through the livery editor, and an auction house?
And thanks for expanding it to the top 15. |
Forza supports its online community in a way rivaled only by Halo. They still have weekly Hot Lap races, the auction house is always hopping, leaderboards are well-monitored, they have online leagues and team-races, etc. That kind of online functionality will keep a fanbase playing a game for months after it's launched. I'm guessing that some of these racing titles (Sega Rally, PGR4) are bumping up against a racing community that is still having fun with Forza and doesn't see the need for a new game just yet.
