I do find it amusing how unaware some people are about things.  Forza is a game with legs, not a front-loaded seller.


Anyways back to the OP, as others has mentioned, VGC pre-orders.  MCC alone should show how off they can be at times.

It's actually funny you mention this, makes me think that racing games might by genre have some of the best legs? GT5 sold well for a very long time, even other racers like Mario Kart 8 sold consistently for a long long time.
