Froza Horizon is not on a decline
VGC Numbers
- Forza Horizon on Xbox 360 = 2.02m
- Forza Horizon 2 Xbox One 1.37 + 360 0.85m = 2.22m
FH2 120k 1 week NPD sales
FH3 150k 1 week NPD sales
It's currently outpacing the sales of FH2 according to NPD numbers through physical and with FH3 been play anywhere and a ever increasing digital % I see no reason it won't outsell its predecessors.

The Forza games, overall, are on a decline, yes. If we're talking Forza, in general, the series is on a decline. Horizon, by itself, is fairly consistent, however (which the second portion of my post highlights - the part omitted from your response).

The series has been in decline for the past few years but the thing is that Horizon has outsold the other Forza games in the past 3. The past few games have done between 400-600k in 1 month while FH3 had done at least 600k in 2 and a half weeks. That's really impressive for a Forza game. Also the downplay also comes from someone comparing Forza to a game that comes from a much popular genre. I'm referring to primetime comparing Forza to NMS.
Yeah the motorsports game has done better the horizon games but by comparing the new horizon game to the motorsport games and seeing the sales being close or more in favor of horizon says something. For an example with 3 week of tracking FM3 sold 770k while with 2 and a half weeks FH3 has sold over 600k, and the series has been in decline for many years. Its impressive to see the latest game doing so well compared the peak of the series and by saying otherwise would be downplaying.

I agree that it is on a decline (the Motorsport series), and people are free to comment on it. A comparison to NMS is a wrong, yes, but just being shocked about the current state of things isn't necessarily downplaying.
