Interesting that Forza Horizon almost has as much preorders as LBP karting and PASBR

Forza is also releasing 4 weeks before pasbr and 2 weeks before LBP

Plus the little big planet game is aimed for mainly kids so expect some legs

Kids like real cars too. Forza has legs too, mainly bundle legs :P

But only 4 weeks away is no excuse for a 3rd string spinoff (Forza) to be almost matching the 2 biggest PS3 exclusives for the holidays.

What matters are the games themselves, not if there are other bigger or smaller exclusives coming out. PSABR is a new IP and LBP: Karting is a spin-off, as is Forza Horizon, which is why none of them are seeing great pre-orders. Don't forget that 360 has a lead of several million units in America

Based on that logic The Last of Us will bomb hard. Im sure if they were higher youd tell me that gamers took notice and are hyped. Basically.....theres always an excuse you or me could formulate based on any given information.

But it astounds me that given how PS3 is praised for its exclusives above all else, its 2 leading titles this holiday are tracking individually behind a Forza spinoff. I dont even need to refer to Halo 4 to make my point.

Its just confusing data no matter how you slice it.
