Over 1 million unique gamertags on Forza 5 online leaderboards.

Undertracked?

No, digital sales aren't included here.

Also you have to take into account re-selling and multiple accounts on one xbox

I wish we could see digital sales, It's starting to annoy me now wanting to know how much games have sold digitally =/


Yeah but you really can't track that at all except from Xbox themselves. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention to you, Zoo Tycoon is a Walmart retail exclusive, which is why the retail version is slacking.

Really....Exclusive to stores now....Pretty Stupid, Digital sales should be more than Retail sales then for Zoo Tycoon, We will just have to try and get the numbers out of the developers like Press Play or out off somebody like Phil Lol

Wasn't NPD going to track digital game sales? I keep checking their site but there is no update =/

As of this moment the only way to track digital is to check the leaderboard od each game individually as far as im aware.

Id like to see Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony out up the number of downloads for each game as youre buying them though.  Instead of just having ratings and a description you could also see how many people downloaded it.

Xbox staff kits have this :( Thought it was gonna be a new feature but turns out we're not allowed to see!

Maybe it will be updated into it later on.  Would be a nice feature and i see no reason to not put this up.

They won't. I see no reason not to give software sales, but they don't. MS are very sensitive about what sales info is out there.

Holy hell am I loving this Max game. When Xbox One was announced I was really disappointed there was not a platformer available at launch (Wii U has become that platform for that need). So I was glad when I heard about this game so close to release. I honestly didn't expect that much, but it's blowing my expectations away for only $15 this game is becoming a gem. I LOVE the use of the marker (just got the ability to use water). SO MUCH FUN! The set pieces and backgrounds are varied and interesting. Especially the eerie fog and dark caves. I really enjoyed 3D World, but a lot of it felt too familiar to me. This is completely new and I love it; currently on the "The Sacred Pool". Sometimes it is difficult to use the marker and escape a chase scene, but the checkpoints are plentiful (like Rayman). I really hope MS gives them a $60 retail budget because I don't think this game is that long :(

Edit: Also, some of those death scenes were not exaggerated. They really let him die in some vicious ways. The way his neck contorted surprised me.

LOL Great minds :D I tweeted to Phil about it but I doubt he will reply ¬.¬ 

Major Nelson would be the easiest to steal a Xbox One from =P Whenever I watch him on videos he looks like he doesn't give a shit at all from his face, He would probably hand it over to us LOL His a great guy though

Tbh we should know, We are fans off the game and should be allowed to know if the games we like are selling good (Not including Disc games cause we can see that) but for Digital we should be able to see, It's just nice to look at a game and be like Oh that games selling good, I liked that game good for the developers =P Lol 

Since Phil is talking to the dude who made Crimson Dragon about making that other game I'm sure Crimson Dragon probably sold good, Doubt Twisted Pixel has but Microsoft can't really drop them after one bad game =/


Phil tweeted me saying that their Xbox's are no different than ours.
