It should but wont.  Horizen sales will come to a screetching halt the second Forza6 is shown/announced.  The market is quickly being forzad out, H2s lower then deserves sales attest to that being true.  While DC is and will be the sole PS excluve racer for a long time, EVstudios has shown a rather large amount of upgrades and extra content for it in the next 6 months.  All points to this being the PS racer for a considerable amount of time.  Not that it deserves that status but PS4 fanbase is stuck with DC till GT7 erases all memory of its existance from us all.  

False.  Forza has never been a front loaded franchise.  It sells well weekly throughout the year and adds up over time.  As for Driveclub i dont have many predictions on it as i really have anything to base it off of other than reviews and server issues.  Forza Horizon 2 will most likely be between 1-2m as FH1 was.

Forza 2 opening week - 228k 
Total Sales Lifetime - 4.02m

Forza 3 Opening week -  209k
Total Sales Lifetime - 5.42m

Forza 4 Opening Week -  515k
Forza 4 Lifetime - 4.25m

Forza 5 Opening Week - 314k
Forza 5 Lifetime so far - 1.53m (so far)

Forza Horizon Opening Week -  316k
Forza Horizon Lifetime - 1.76m

Forza Horizon 2 Opening Week - 370k (270k XBO)


Anything under F5 has no bearing on today as Forza is now a seasonal franchise.  It wont have the time to sale well due to longevity.  Also F5 numbers are heavly inflated by free giveaways.  Forza franchise has always been a heavly bundled one.  Its sales never really that good, damn xbox pew pew shooter bros.    Looking at Horizon1 low sales given the big user base it had to sale on, Horizen 2s sales will be around 1milion mark on X1 maybe.  All things point to selling less then its predecessor.  X1 user base would need to be bigger and to be growing at far greater rate then it is to do better.

Makes me think why they havent MS done a F5/H2 bundle for Europe ? that could be a decent seller.
