Anyone else shocked at Forza 6's plunge? It's barely been out 5 days and already heading out of the top 50!.

I thought the franchise was more popular than that? Or maybe it's just series fatigue setting in? Either way, I didn't think it would fall that fast.

I think MS is actually messing up with Forza by making it a yearly franchise.  It was a franchise that grew to start selling ~4M-5M each version, but has now become a franchise selling ~1M-2M.  And I think it will start to stick in that lower end, ~1M,  if they continue the yearly crap.  Racers, especially ones that are more sim than arcade, don't warrant that kind of schedule. 

I actually wouldn't be shocked to see GT7 outsell all the Forza's released on XBO combined, so far,  when it launches.

If I am not mistaken, forza 3 and 4 were never big to begin with.  They reached 3-4m by mass bundling after falling off the chartz.  Unless the same happen to forza 6, I doubt it will sell more than forza 5.  It doesnt matter if it is better,there are more racing games options now compare to what forza 5 had to compete with.
