No surprise. A game with access to 10 million gamers and sold worldwide compared to a game released for only 5 million gamers (not including 360) and limited to specific countries. I see FH2 outselling DC in the long run.

CosmicSex said: This is pretty straight forward. Which will have the higher first week sales (WW). Driveclub, a new IP or Forza Horizon 2 (XBO), an established IP. Forza-Metacritic = 86 DriveClub Metacritic = 71 Please give reasons for your predictions. Also include how you think DriveClub will fair against FH2 (XBO + 360) if you would like.
EDIT: Preorders (According to VGC) DriveClub - 97,949 Forza Horizon 2 - NA (never charted)

This wasn't about proving which was better, it was a simple sales forecast. It may have very well sold more if it had better reviews, but that is beyond the scope of this thread's OP :)
Also, votes are still coming in... I don't know if you should tell them or I should, but it is possible to get the answer right with 100% accuracy....
3 things are at play (my guess):
1. Lots of PS users contributed to DC sales
2. DC was released in a lot more territories and bundles
3. Lets just say majority of Xbox one owners didnt buy that console for forza, period (Look at Halo:MCC position in amazon to compare, a game that isnt even out yet)
DriveClub is the only racer this year for the PS4
The PS4 has 12+ Million Users
Horizon 2 was never that loved and has just 5-6 Million possible customers while it isn't a system seller at the same time.
Don't know why anyone would think otherwise.
This is why its good to have a big community...Shovelware sold that good on the PS1+PS2 cause of the Userbase.Out of 100 Million people at least a couple will buy the game no matter how bad it is(DriveClub is godly).
Its better for developers if there is a 1 Console Generation especially if their product is an unsafe bet.
Forza Horizon 2 was the better performer with a higher attach rate. Driveclub should be selling 2 times as many copies as FH2 considering the PS4's install base is 2x larger.

Well Forza is clearly the better game, Driveclub just had a 11+ million userbase compared to 6 million on Xbox. Not making an excuse just a fact.
