um..no
Forza 2 was BUNDLED WITH VIVA PINATA FOR EVERY ARCADE SOLD !
3.5 million MAX. (unless they bundle it again)
btw, these are japan ads right ?


Um no it wasn't. Forza 2 got bundled for 2 months. With the pro. Officially. Everything else was store done. Every game gets store bundles. Uncharted 1 has been store bundled for nearly 12 months in UK. As has Halo 3.

I think that this tells more than enough.

LOL.... it moved about 2 million bundled copies !

Forza 2 Week 10 worldwide - 20k , 7k america ,

how the hell can forza 3 sell 5-6 million unless it is bundled ?

 

Check this out:

GT5P out in Japan, sales paltry. Look at the spike when EU bundle is released on release day. The the next spike is the Japan bundle with 80gb PS3. Take out the bundles for GT5P and it only just makes 1 million copies without bundles.

Get your facts straight ! those spikes are from American and EU release of GT5P...it wasnt a simultaneous WW release ! LOL. Please read my previous comment for even more PWNAGE.

My facts are straight. The 2nd spike is exactly when the relase of the GT5P bundle cam out in Japan. Both games were bundled. But GT5P was bundled from release in it's biggest market. EU. Sony did the same with GT3 A Spec in EU. It was released in a bundle. Forza 2 has spent less time bundled than GT5P has. I think GT5 sales not being that high is gonna shock alot of people.

Forza 2 was bundled almost with every Pro sku sold in America and Europe during 2007 holidays. GT5P was bundled with some PS3's during its launch in Europe. That is huge difference. I agree that GT5P was heavily bundled in Japan during 2008 holidays but it sold something like ~300k.

If by some you mean one sku then yeah. But that Sku sold out every time there was stock. That first spike directly relates to EU release. Of course some EU copies were bought alone. But PS3 had a massive spike in EU on GT5P release for Europe. That directly points to PS3 + GT5P 40gb bundle. 

Sigh...

First spike - 15 weeks after Japan release. = EU + US release ----> Sold 1.4 million copies in 10 weeks (A lot of it is not bundled). Not every PS3 was bundled with Prologue..

Second Spike - JP bundle had an effect along with GT5P going Platinum in EU ! Sold 600k there.

So i presume that 500k out of the GT5P sales were bundles (which may be oversetimate) ... 4m - 500k = 3.5m

Forza 2 on the other hand was significantly more helped out by bundling ! atleast 1.5 m were bundles (that is low balling it)..

We are talking about a game that sold only 7k in america in its 10th week and went on to sell 2.5 m in the region !

Forza 3 WILL NOT make it to 5 million... It might make it to 3.5 max.
