Thread Description: In this series of posts I'm picking a franchise and then looking at how the franchise is doing in sales this generation compared to last generation, and then asking people why they think that change in sales occurred. When I make the original post it will include a poll that will expire in ~10 hours. Soon after it expires I will post the results, which I hope will spur a second round of discussion. I'm calling these "Game of the Day" threads, but even if it is not the same day feel free to continue to comment in the thread. With the thread description out the way here is today's Change in Sales Game of the Day...
Game of the Day
(Highlighting a game to talk about the change in sales)
9/13
Forza 2
| Title | Last Gen Sales | % Change in Game Sales Between Generations | % Change in Platform Size Between Generations |
| Forza | |||
| Forza I | 1.01 | 296.04 | 30.99 |
| Forza II | 4.00 |
Description: Today's Game of the Day, Forza 2 has increased a massive 296% over its predecessor. Does that mean the franchise has just increased greatly in popularity, or did the game only get purchased because of the bundles. Does another explanation better justify that huge increase in sales? Vote in the poll and then let us know what you think. Also today instead of just stating your reasoning behind the increase in Forza 2's sales, state what expectations you have for the upcoming Forza 3. Do you think Forza 3 will be able to continue the franchises increase in sales?
Updated: Poll closed and results posted.
