Forza Horizon 2 hasn't done that well. Considering how it never got close to topping the charts on Amazon, I think Drive Club should perform better. This includes the topics discussed that would generally hold it back.

Why would I buy my game on Amazon, when i could either 1)preload it or 2)pick it up from many stores at midnight. Also the best preorder bonuses came from other retailers.

That argument doesn't hold any water, as it applies to nearly EVERY game. Because most games are on an equal playing field (eg; they can be ordered digitally, can be preloaded, can get special bonuses at various retailers), you can't dismiss the order on Amazon unless there is something really special about the situation.

And there is nothing special about FH2 that makes it more or less likely to be sold on Amazon, hence : the sales look mediocre at best for it. Not unexpected.

Still, retail sales for FH2 should easily >> DC. Including digital, who knows. DC seems like a great positive thing for PS4, but not in terms of retail sales, more in offering a great additional game that's under-represented on PS4.
