If the game is as good as the reviewers are saying, its a shame that its not doing so hot sales wise.

Its sitting currently at #33 on the Amazon Top 100 and going Down.

I guess the franchise peaked with Forza 3 and going down since then.

Forza 1 - 1.05
Forza 2 - 4.04
Forza 3 - 5.48
Forza 4 - 4.48
Forza 5 - 2.01

IMO they have to rest the franchise for a couple of years, not because they are bad games, but because of the saturation of the market.

If Forza 6 does poor maybe I'll agree. But 2 million seems to be about the average for the series if you exclude mass bundling.

Also, this is the racing series Xbox users actually care about. So that's a motivator to put out a Forza game every year.

Exactly Forza 5 and Forza Horzion 2 are the only racing games that sold over a million copies on the X1 the next highest is Need For Speed Rivals 570K.  The next Need For Speed might do better then that but I doubt it will sell over a million.  A racing game without Forza in the title selling over a million copies on the X1 might not happen until after Horizon 3 comes out.

Forza 6 went down 5 places, and now is sitting at #38 (Amazon Top 100) and going down BTW.

 

I dont think the game is doing too hot. I predict that it will sell less than Forza 5.

Doubt it a lot of people are already playing it since they bought the Ultimate Edition like I did and that is not going to show up in sales because its digital only.
