You got double post, but no worry.

You may be right, I was looking at the VG numbers only and they are more or less stable, and unfortunatelly a 20% rise on sales on VG isn't considered much. But I hope you are right and FH4 is even bigger, better and sell a lot more.

Here's a link to VGC's game tracking tool for the Horizon series: Link

As you can tell, Horizon 3 is tracking way ahead of Horizon 1, and is even tracking ahead of the combined 360+XB1 sales for Horizon 2 if you add up their sales for the current week. So not only is it tracking ahead physically, it should easily be tracking ahead digitally as well since console digital sales have continually increased over the years. Horizon 3 digital will have also been boosted by PC users, not a ton since it's Windows Store exclusive, but some.

I feel like as long as Playground continues to innovate when it comes to features, continues to choose good settings for each game, and continues to add more to each game (cars, map size, events, radio stations, etc.) the sales should continue trending upwards. Hopefully they improve the engine a good bit for Horizon 4 as well, I'd love to see at least the X version of Horizon 4 match Driveclub's graphics.

Making openworld graphics on level of closed is very large improvement... but I agree it can keep increasing. Just don't know by how much.
