Very interesting.

I wonder if it will help out sales quite a bit if it gets some coverage on the show.

Maybe even if they advertise it? I imagine Sony are planning to use the Top Gear implementation in GT5 as a push in the UK.

Top Gear aside (cos I don't reckon it'll do much tbh) I think MS will advertise Forza 3 a lot this xmas to offset as much GT5 damage as possible.


I don't think so.

MS budget is huge, but so is Kinect, Reach and Fable. All three will see a decent amount of ads. Just like the ones we already see on VGC.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Microsoft advertise the hell out of this bundle they may be able to steal some numbers from GT5.



I do not think it will ultimately steal any GT5 thurnder it may ignite a second wave of strong sales for FM3 during the holiday period. Top Gear is very popular but the aspect you need is not Stig's garage as nice as that is but you need the reasonable priced car and the track to race it on.

Winner of the 2010 VGC Holiday sales prediction thread with an Average 1.6% accuracy rating. I am indeed awesome.

Kinect as seen by PS3 owners ...if you can pick at it   ...post it ... Did I mention the 360 was black and Shinny? Keeping Sigs obscure since 2007, Passed by the Sig police 5July10.

Mhh , I smell some fear ? Microsoft and their money... This is a action to take away sales from the GT5/Ps3 sales. Doubt it will do much. And TopGear has always been talking about GT. If Sony is smart , they pay a lot of money to BBC/Topgear. It has 250 million views every week. A GT5 item like comparing it to real life , would be smart.



250M vies every week ?? Thats f****** HUGE!

I like how in Sonyville, everything Microsoft does is because they're scared of Sony. Some of you guys need to grow up and stop stealth trolling.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Cool feature for sure, but why not do something like this a bit earlier?

I didn't know the show was that popular.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Top Gear doesn't have 250 million viewers per week LOL YOU GUYS!

The most watched show ever is Super Bowl XLIV with 106.5 million viewers.

That 250 million is the number of people who've seen at least one episode of Top Gear since the beginning of the show (in 2002).



So you don't get the Top Gear test track?

That kind of seems a bit rubbish, and isn't going to much to stop GT 5 from winning...
