Anyone know at what time of day they update the list, and if they update on Sundays?


Not sure about Sundays but it seems like they update around 2pm EST.  

 

I predict it will reach 49 by launch day.  After that, if it proves to have sustained popularity, it may  get to 35.


Its number 35 now.  I agree with this guy.

It's still in the top 15 (11 at the moment). How high will it go? Vanilla PS4 is #9. XB1 top SKU about to drop out of the top 40 @ 38 and falling.

Also, wow @ Shadow of Mordor PS4 outselling Forza Horizon XB1 by a significant gap. A lot of people were expecting SoM to fail, but the timing of the release might be fortuitous vs. later in October/November when it is going to get brutal.

It's been getting really good reviews but then again so has Forza Horizon 2.

Interestingly, even the X1 version of Shadow of Mordor is ranked ahead of Forza Horizon 2.

I wonder if the Forza franchise was damaged by the reception for Forza 5 (visual downgrades, rushed feel to it, missing tracks/cars from previous entries, microtransactions, etc).

It can't help that Forza 5 has been a giveaway with many XB1 bundles, so a lot of people might feel that they don't want or need yet another Forza game. I think it would hurt Gran Turismo as well to try to release on a yearly schedule.

Anyway, happy to see SoM doing well, seems that it's a legitimately awesome game. LOL @ the clickbait Destructoid 6/10 though. There's always someone like that to get clicks with dishonesty.

The racing genre isn't all that popular in the US though.
