I'm pretty sure it sold over 2 million physical copies already since its pretty much been below its launch price for over a year already.  With digial its pretty much over 2.5 million already since its been on sale digital numerous times already also.  That beig said its sales will completely dry up in less then six weeks since once Forza 6 comes out there is no reason to buy it anyomore since 6 will pretty much have all the content of 5 and a ton more.

Digital sales being 20% of the total is too steep. I heard digital console game sales make up betweeen 10 to 20% of the total, though I cannot find the article at this time. Also, VGC likely overtracked Forza 5's sales based on what I said earlier, probably by 200K. Assuming physical sales are 1.8 million and digital sales make 15% of the total, then total sales will be 2.11 million. If you really want me to be generous and assume that VGC did not overtrack, then total sales will be 2.35 million.

It was downloaded over one million times when it had its free weekend I'm pretty sure a good chunck of those people bought the game instead of just deleting it after the weekend was over.
