[...] Forza Horion 3 is basically the second best selling racing game of this gen just behind Mario Kart 8.

And these are just retail numbers. Forza Horizon 3 on PC is digital only. Plus the digital attachrate for console games is getting bigger every year

Wow, that's impressive for Forza Horizon 3.  Good stuff, reviews suggest it deserves it.  I'll snag the digital copy at its first sale, if not sooner.

I'd add that not only is digital distribution getting bigger for console games every year, but that people who normally still buy games on disc might ahve bought it digitally this time to get the complementary Windows copy.  More incentive to go digital for first-party Microsoft games than for other console titles.

It is both impressive and not impressive at the same time.
Sure it's impressive to be the second best selling game in the entire genre just behind the absoulut powerhouse Mario Kart.
But the racing game genre is very small today in the US. So a dedicated hardcore fanbase, can kind of easily achive that.

I'm looking forward to see what GT Sport is able to do.
Of couse the number will depend on the weeks of tracking, but less than 500k units and less than Mario Kart 8 is a given at this point.
