john - a poll was conducted by Famitsu or another major magazine a few months ago, asking what the biggest games to look for were over the next 2 years. Their answers? FFXIII, Biohazard 5, and Lost Odyssey. It wasn't some hokey poll that they conducted, but they actually went to gaming stores and ASKED. And again, why would LO which as far as I can tell, has more hype and support for it than BD did, plus quite a few more gamers owning 360s by December (there were around 250,000 Xbox 360 owners when BD came out, when LO comes out, there will be atleast 500k) Forza is a mystery. However, if PGR3 can sell 25k as a launch title, and TDU stands at 14k just launched, I'd think that a major sim-racing game like Forza could pull in alot of people, like already stated. There IS no comparison. There are no upcoming major Wii racing titles, or even PS3 titles. Motorstorm did somewhat OK in Japan for a game that involves vehicles the Japanese cannot even relate to. I would honestly assume that Forza could rope in atleast mt 60k prediction, if not the 90k predicted by someone else.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
