Anyway, about the OP, I can't see Forza 3 not selling...and if they bundle it, all the better.

I think you have missed the point. When you bundle a game (especially in the case of Forza 2/Viva pinata which was an official microsoft bundle that ran over the christmas period of 07) you artificially inflate the sales. So you cannot say that demand for forza 2 had increased by 130% over the first as someone stated.  For a long period of time in australia if you wanted a xbox 360 pro console you got forza 2 and viva pinata with it and there was no other way to buy one.

I recall a few "wars" over GT( 3 or 4...I don't remember) sales numbers and being bundled. I actually agree with you that bundles do not necessarily constitute sales numbers, however, You must keep in mind that the price of the game is factored into the price of the console, likewise, many people may have bought the bundle because they were planning on purchasing the game...and if you can get the console and the game at the same time, why not?Either way, bundles or not, this is the way everybody figures sales. So it IS fair game. Stop whining and deal with it.

Hmm, after just having finished reading this thread I must say kowenicki is the only one who has been crying.

 

Talking bundles, shouldn't there be differentiated between bundles where one get the game for free(or with a discount) and bundles where the game's usual price is added(+ the preice of a steering wheel, which I'd see more as a collector's edition)?
