I'm just saying your guys arguments are completely different. He is talking about profit and the entire gen and you seem to be focusing on games shipped. We dont know how much Forza has shipped either? We only know sold. Just like we dont know how much each game has earned in profits. We also dont know how much DLC has sold etc. These arguments could go on all day because neither one of you all can prove what you are saying. That is why I said he isn't entirely wrong because as an IP Forza has sold about as much as GT this gen. That doesn't diminish how well GT has done, I mean Im sure anybody can see that GT has the bigger brand name. But it does show that Forza has held its own ground and has become a very popular series.
We really need to stop talking about bundles on this site.
EDIT: And no need on apologize, honest mistake :) But 1.2m is believable. It may be undertracked by 200-400K though, but that isnt too bad. Im sure a lot of games on this site is undertracked by a little bit. |
I don't like to compare these two franchises... I don't do that here but I have to anwser when somebody do that kind of comparison... in fact I don't know how much Forza sold and I don't care but I have all data you need for GT5.
For DLC the last official data is over 1 million at Nov 20th, 2011... the first DLC was release in Oct 25, 2011... so just one month of sales.

You still havent addressed that me and Jaywood agree that 1.2 million on store shelves is actually normal....and means 200k - 500k tops is undertracked.
So please stop saying its not accurate.....the numbers are mostly spot on with GT5. Im frankly surprised you actually managed to convince everybody that the game is 1 million + undertracked on this site.

It's nor normal. Software sales are typically very, very close to shipped sales. Find me one individual game where the shipped-sold discrepancy is greater than 1 million units. |
Big flagship releases (both 3rd and 1st party) are the exception to the rule I find. RE6 being a recent example of shipped far exceeding sold.
|
RE6 has been a huge flop too.
You can't prove what you are saying. It could be undertracked by a couple 100k or it may not, we don't know and nobody can prove anyhting.
Really guys cool it with the GT vs Forza thing now
