So the short answer is I think it will sell around 4 million, maybe a little more if the bundling is massive. So it will probably tie GT5p. But the question is does it really matter? Forza 3 is a great game so does it make it any less of a game if it doesn't sell as well as GT? I would seem to think not. |
The sales is of importance, because we here have a case where Turn 10 them selves openly declared war on the GT franchise and a community manager who's job is to actively cater to the more dedicated console brand followers.
This being the best example we have of everything but admitted viral marketing through brand followers, it's interesting to see the effect when put up against an already established franchise.
It also raises the question, how many of these Forza 3 sales will be from people who(used to) buy GT compared to people who also bought Halo ODST?
