I belive the some will happen with GT5-Prologe/GT5. Forza was the first racing game riting the 360, without any big francise to concur.

PS: We can expect something similar to Halo3/Reach.

Without the bundles, Forza 3 already outsold Forza 2.

That'd be hard to determine, given Forza 3 has been bundled as well:

That bundle was introduced 22 weeks after Forza 3 launch, so Forza 3 already sold 2.3m at that point.

Forza 2 sold over 2 million units during the time it was bundled with Marvel Ultimate Alliance/Viva Pinata which lasted around a whole year.

A shame that we still can't see the graphs on VGC 3.0

I was actually going to do a graph comparison before saying anything, but couldn't. ;_;

Only because of it being bundled with the wheel. Take out the plastic wheel and I doubt it would have passed a 100K.

Of course, that was a joke nobody saw here. It doesn't sell as much, it sells more.
