So how is Forza on Decline ? i know it sold less than Forza 3 but wasnt Forza 3 heavilly bundled? How did Forza 3 without bundle units? i want to know.

I Love Forza and i hate that people try to bring the franchise down when its the best racer out there, i dont see the point on bringing those Playstation games like All Stars down aswell, i never did that as far as i remember and this are pre orders and we all know VGC has been was off with this stats.

Forza 3 did 3m to 3.5m before being bundled.
Forza 4 is definitely doing worse for several reasons. It's late in the gen and software sales have gone back. Then they made Forza into a bi-yearly franchise, which didn't help either.

I don't buy those reasons for Forza 4. 2011 saw plenty of sequels achieving series record numbers. I believe 2011 was the biggest year for the 360's software sales. So software hasn't gone back. And Forza has always been a bi-yearly franchise.

Forza is a lot about legs and software in 2012 have been sub par for all consoles. Also the difference between Forza 3 and Forza 4 is too small. Reason for that is obviously a too short development time. It's not broken of course but the difference between Forza and Forza 2 (new console) and between Forza 2 and Forza 3 (using the capabilities of the console. Mostly better graphics) is far greater.
