Global Annual Summary (Units)

Year	Yearly	Change	Total
2010	5,264,164	N/A	5,264,164
2011	1,785,728	-66.1%	7,049,892

Forza 4

 

Global Annual Summary (Units)

 

Year	Yearly	Change	Total
2011	1,854,407	N/A	1,854,407
2012	1,046,866	-43.5%	2,901,273

 

if you align the launches of both games, we know who wins. And if we compare the 1st year of Forza against the 2nd year of GT5, forza beats it for less than 100k. 

 

there's no victory or success in forza 4 sales when compared against GT5.

Not to mention that GT5 is still blatantly undertracked

And that even after the F3 heavily bundled release, F4 sold more or less the same amount on launch than F3, so there's no real increase in the franchise.
