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.

With that logic nobody would ever use Amazon for anything. 

Exactly. If someone made the argument that DC wasn't selling well due to Amazon, we can easily say "well, people are getting it for free digitally with PS+ to try". Thats' a special circumstance.

Other situations are where Amazon's price is $59, but at a major retailer like Gamestop or something it's $49, or $59 with free DLC, etc. In those situations, the Amazon sales might be underrepresenting the real total.

Nothing indicates this though, charts from Best Buy, Gamestop, and Amazon all show FH2 to be .. okay. Not great, just okay.

Now FM6 will do gangbusters for sure. But people shouldn't expect miracles from smaller AA titles on any system. If you love the game, enjoy the hell out of it, but don't expect every game to sell 3M copies+, or enter the charts in the top spot, it's not realistic
