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.


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.

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.

Lets see pulling opinion as fact decalring potential games dud as it fits your bs arguemnts, having no understanding of how negativly X1 user base will effect its sales or just ignoring it as it suits your opinion.  

do not quote me anymore buddy, discussing anything with you is a waste of time.

It's pretty much a given that it will cross a million, forza games always have legs.

And this one is having a strong start with ~175k U.S. Only and >50k UK only.

OK have you actually looked at FM5 sales numbers.  Its the best selling racing game on the X1 nothing else is even close its currently at 1.52 million copies.  In the lastest global weekely its in the 40th spot so its legs are not dead yet.

Agreed talking to you about sales is a waste of time since you have no idea what you are talking about if you really think the first Horzion game was a flop when it comes to sales.

Is Project CARS even competing against FH2 ? Look, I share the same sentiment about Project CARS with you but it's a sim racer ...

Its not directly competing with Horizon 2 but they are both racing games.  The Crew could actually sell more then Horizon 2 on the X1 in the long run since Ubisoft games usually get cheap very quickly so it will get its discount legs a lot sooner then Horizon 2 which probably be on sale numerous times during the holidays but will not get a offical price drop anytime soon.

It'll sell well over 1M on both the x360 and X1, more on the Xbox One version, obviously.
Not to even mention the digital downloads (I've heard a ton of people have downloaded the game via digitally - I have myself right after I finished playing the demo).

 

And 175k X1 FW sales in the states is a pretty great start - more than what FM 5 and FH 1 started out with.

I don't know if it will sell over 1M million on the 360 of course it still could happen once it gets its discount legs.  Heck I might buy the 360 verison eventually once it drops to around the $20 dollar mark.  I think a good chunck of the cars that are exclusive to the 360 version will show up on the X1 as free DLC since the first car pack already had one of them the 1988 BMW M5.

I'm not sure. It deserves a lot. Over time as Xbox one sales increase, so will this game. Horizon and motorsport are 2 games at the top of their genres.

Goty. It should sell like 5 million copies. How something like that turd Destiny sells 5 million or whatever and Forza Horizon 2 only sells 200,000 is beyond me.
