Slight problem with the Forza bundle defence. If F3 sold 200k this week, why didn't Alan Wake do 200k seeing as that was in there too acording to that picture? It wasen't even in the US chart.

WAKE is a download voucher.

Yea I noticed that one. It really sucks how VGChartz doesn't track digital distrubution sales. MS and Sony should put out Digital sales once in a while. I mean GT5P should be at 5 million, not 4, and who knows how well every other game sells over PSN and XBL. This would put Alan Wake above 1 million.

I think MS is smart for bundling Forza with current 360's. It takes away some of the edge Sony has with GT5 in Americas, as GT5 is one ofthe strongest selling points for PS3 this fall.

Still, I think ratings affect sales, GT5 will sell well, but not as well as prior installments.

Also, assuming GT5 doesn't sell as well as prior GT's in Americas, do you think this will give Forza 4/Kinect potential to open up sales in the Americas region? Personally I think MS really wants to grow this brand, and potentially I see a split. Forza in Americas, GT in EMEAA, and if thats the case Forza 4 could break 5 million sales. Whats your take CGI?
