You mean a game on a console with a huge install base will most likely outsell a game on a console that just launched? Wow. Who knew. Might I suggest you seek a job in rocket science because you obviously see things the rest of us cannot

It doesn't matter what the fanbase is..well yes it does but...GT5 sold 10 million on an install base of 80 million. I don't think a single Forza has sold half that yet the 360 has an install base of 80 million. I think what PS3-sales meant by that part of his post was that GT will still sell more than Forza no matter what the meta/hate/install base/consumer opinion is.


Forza Motorsports 3 sold 5.36 million copies so its more then half of 10 million.  Also each Forza game could have sold more it there where more then a two year gap between each release.

ok. sorry there was a forza game that reached half of what GT5 sold. If there was more than a two year gap it wouldn't affect the sales at all...look at the sales of Forza 4 a year and a half out. Look at the sales of any Forza game a year and a half out and you will see that they aren't that great unless you include the holiday bundle sale that Forza 3 had.

GT5 sold over 10M. The last Forza sold 4M. PS3 has 80M+ units sold. XBone has 1.2M. So you have a franchise that historically goes over 10M vs a franchise that's cracked 5M only once. Now the latest one is on a console that just released.

The MAX that Forza 4 could sell is 1.2M. If GT6 can't do 2x that, Polyphony needs to leave the industry

If the interface is better than 5, then it is a great game. also, Forza is not GT competition by any means, I have Forza 5 and, althought it is fun and pretty, it is as shallow as it gets, as a long time GT fan, I tell you this, Forza is not in the same league as GT, not by a long shot, it is much more like GRID.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Wrong again the only Forza game that was massively bundled was Forza 2 and speaking of bundled games GT3 is still the most bundled racing game of all times especially in North America where you can find a bundle copy of the game which has a red case just as easily as you can find a regular retail verison of the game.

Bragging about sales of games you don't like just because they're exclusives is just pathetic....

Right here.

It'll likely sell 2x the amount lifetime (at least) that Forza 5 will. So for all those complaining how less than stellar GT6 is, it won't really affect the sales. 

Btw, GT6 is at an 80 on metacritic, Forza 5 is at an 81. Just pointing that out. 

Oh, and I hate both games, and sim racers in general, due to the fact that they suck at being games while exceeding at being sims, which are boring in my opinion. 

Have a great day ;)


I completly agree.

Absolute bull. Forza 3 and 4 where in xbox bundles everywhere, even at launch.

Nope they where nowhere nearly bundled as much as Forza 2 which got more then half of its sales due to bundles.  Look at used prices of all three title another clear intactor which game was bundled the most you can get Forza 2 for $2.99 or less you can't get 3 or 4 that cheap.

No forza was heavily bundled always was. You could not buy an xbox here without froza with it.
