what indication do we have that forza is going to sell well? If you look at vgcharts info it says 0.00 for forza sales in Japan even though i'm pretty sure it was released for original xbox. Considering ridge racer could only do 70k, how can you predict this game to do 60k?

Why do people keep looking at Forza 1's sales when the Xbox was virtually dead when it released and it was going head-to-head with GT3 and GT4, massively popular games in Japan?

This time around, the 360 is selling slightly better and most importantly, THERE IS NO COMPETITION FOR FORZA. I repeat, ZERO competition. GT5 is still at least a year away. Ridge Racer and other racers of that ilk don't even cater to the same audience.

If Japanese gamers want a racing sim, today they have zero options. In three weeks, they will have one. Forza 2.

I don't think it's that hard to connect the dots and assume that the game SHOULD sell at least as many copies as Ridge Racer.

With that said, who knows? Maybe the Japanese don't like the word Forza and shun the game. Anything is possible.
