Forza 5 will outsell it. Every other forza has sold over 5 million each.



Around the Network

The more I read about how bad DC is and the more I see it and how bad it looks the more I think the free trial version in PS+ might actually hurt it. Some people will play it and enjoy it and go out and buy the game but many will also play it and not enjoy it and then not go out and buy a game they might have done a blind buy on if it wasn't a PS+ freebie.



Are we counting every person who downloads Drive Club PS+ edition as a sale?

Hopefully not because you don't buy it.



Its gonna be free with PS Plus so I see that cutting the sales of the game a lot.

If you count digital downloads, then definitly cause most people will get the "short" version for free with PS+.

But you don't get the whole game or something like that. You then buy the rest of the game (cars and tracks I think). So it's basically Drive Club at a discounted price if you were to buy all the cars and tracks.

Will Sony or Microsoft even be upfront with their digital sales ever week or month? I can certainly see Sony counting the PS+ edition download as a sale. I can already see this topic being a never ending argument lol

That's not what I meant. On PS+ you don't "buy" games. This cannot count as a digital sale, no matter what Sony will say :) Then they have to reduce numbers also if people quit their membership :)

Problem is they can say whatever they want. I think there are only 2 ways of looking at it.

1) Either we except the number Sony gives us... assuming they even do that. It may or may not include PS+ Edition 

2) We dispute said number without any real way of taking PS+ Edition number out

I guess Sony may provide a digital number without PS+ included but it seems unlikely imo
