There are more Casuals than Hardcore gamers. When people have enough for 1 car racer, it's now a toss up between the two rather then the one choice. When I started playing the horizon series, I lost interest in the Motorsport series. GT7 i think sold 15m however FH5 has 44m players before the PS release. |
Player metrics on GamePass games are irrelevant. If they were relevant, Xbox consoles would have sold much more to express the popularity of those games. The vast majority of those "players" are Xbox gamers "playing" the game for a couple of minutes before moving to the next GamePass title and registering as "players" over there too. Rinse and repeat.
Forza Horizon is a great series and Microsoft's best original title imo. Actually it's the Microsoft title that interests me the most even among acquired titles. But it neither competes with GT7 nor quite beats it in popularity. Sales wise, they're both standing at around 10 million I'd guess. FH5 might be ahead thanks to PC, being cheaper, and not requiring a steering wheel to be truly enjoyed. But it is available on GamePass which hurts sales on Xbox.
They're both excellent series in their own right. But you guys can't help but use this moment to push your console war crap somehow even though it's a huge L for Xbox. Microsoft is like 5 times bigger than Sony as a game software company. How about you celebrate that instead of pushing more nonsense?
Edit: Just saw Mat Piscatella's post on GT7. I definitely lowballed its sales like 90% of Sony games.
