I guess you fail to realize that Driveclub was heavily bundled in Europe also.


F5 was a world wide give away, and still barely above a new ip.  Quite pathetic actually.

LOL F5 was a launch game the X1 had a zero install base when it was released.  Driveclub launched on a console that already had a instal base of over 12 million units.  The only thing that is quite pathetic are you comments.  Also Forza sold the most copies in North America where is was bundled the least on the other hand Driveclub sold the most in Europe where it also was bundled the most.  If Driveclub was really more successful then FM5 it would have already sold twice as much as FM5 since there are almost twice as many PS4 sold then X1. 


What kind of argument is that? Launch games usually sell well. They get a bootstrap in sales at launch since there are only few games. Then they obviously have been in the market longer, which means more sales in the longer period. Also Forza 5 sold more in USA where the XB1 has more than twice the European sales. Both games have been bundled so that's not relevant.

You can argue that in relative numbers FM5 sold more per console. But that's not what this thread is about. In absolute terms DC most likely will outsell FM5. Because DC is still supported, while FM5 is going to be soon replaced by FM6.

Well for a lauch game it did sell well it sold over 2 million physical copies already and currently is the Forza game with the highest attachment ratio since the X1 overall instal base is still pretty low.
