Sub 1m LT, so for a game with Forza in its title ill be near flop territory. US sales will drop like a rock, Euro ones will be tiny from the start. User base is to small to support a niche racing game, and they are milking the Forza name to death.

Best they can do is bundle it with a strong game get some units out that way.

LOL it will easily sell more then a million lifetime it will have better legs then the first game and it already had a better launch in North America then the first game.

lol ill drop way harder the second week the the first ever did and be sales wise irelevent by its 3rd/4th week.  

It needs a decent Euro user base to do well,  ill never have that.  F5 low sales even with massive free gave aways should tell you plenty.

Its not going to be a big seller. No more than 200K, but it should hit a million over time. Its the sort of game that would do better with bundles.


I guess you haven't looked at this weeks numbers for the USA yet it will easily sell more then 200K in its first week it almost did it in the USA alone.

Sure, whatever look at the numbers for the last two Forza games (FM5, Horizon 1) they both have great legs.  Plus on top of physical copies the game will also sell a ton digital copies.

You have no idea what a flop is.  The game will sell more then the first one did in its first week despite launching on a console with a much smaller instal base and there also being a 360 version of the game.

A forza anything dropping this late in the year to 200/250k sale is just that.  This is not a new ip, thsi is a well established Forza.

Cool so now we have to resort to counting both together to defend its likely low sales.  nA game seeling well on a fresh new console with a small user base thast starved for content, no way never happens.

Ill be more specific, Sub 1m lifetime for FH2 on XboxOne.

FM5 sales aren't low when you look at its attachment ratio its acutally did a lot better then any previous Forza game even if you wouldn't include the bundled copies on top of that it also sold good amount of digital copies.  More then all the other mainline Forza games combined since its the first one available digitally.

LOL it will sell more then that in its first year if you include the digital copies.  It has no other decent competion I'm pretty sure both The Crew and Project CARS will be sup par.  Unless the next Need For Speed will be a major surprise the next good racing game  after Horzion 2 on the X1 will be Forza 6.  Also you need to check the numbers for the first game again it started out below Horzion 2 and it almost made it to 2 million physical copies sold.

Excuses left and right nothing more.   Attach rate means nothing.  Games always have a higher attach rate early in the gen.  This is nothing new and says nothing about the sales of the game.  Stop spining irrelvence to try to make things look betetr.  Why is it in every thread you are pretty much the forza defence force ?
