If anyone doesn't know, http://www.mygamercard.net tracks 1.1m Xbox Live profiles, and updates them constantly according to what games are on the top 5 list of each gamer, and calculates which gamers have played various games for the week.
Intresting enough, Forza 2 is #3 (up from #6 or so last week) due to European launch. Crackdown maintains a slight 1000 member lead in #2, and Gears is still #1, by around 10k units. In Japan, Forza 2 has almost built a lead thats higher than the other top-5 games COMBINED. The Japanese, although few, seem to like Forza.
But what's interesting is that FM2 hasn't even cracked the top 5 in the UK. Once it cracks it there, F2 should most likely reach #2 or #3 for some time.
MGC is a very rough guess on sales. Their numbers don't always mimic real world sales - Crackdown obliterated everything first week, and ended up @ under 300k for its first week. Lost Planet only broke the top 5 overall once or twice, but ended up with near-500k its first month.
Just a nice thing to use when wanting to know about various games. FM2 has 38,000 users. The ironic thing is that FM2's leaderboard via gamerscore is almost entirely dominated by Japanese, and not Americans, as typical with many games.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
