Driveclub numbers are heavily inflated by bundling, also I would imagine heavily overtracked. I don't even think it was ever in the top 10 for NPD, yet vg chartz had it at several hundred thousand first week.


Forza 5 was heavily bundled. It did very well outside the usa. 

Not even close to he amount of bundling of DC. Also factor in that there hasn't been a premier Forza bundle, and FH2 was the focal point of this past fall. DC bundle was the only way to buy a ps4 at the highest selling time of the year in many areas.

There are still forza bundles in EU stores so probably more than driveclub.  Ps plus subscribers got a big discount too so driveclub digital will be a lo higher.  It's gonna pass it out soon if not already

Mario Kart is a next gen racer and just as "realistic" as DC. And given the hype and userbase difference, DC should end up higher than the others on the list.

How is a cartoon style racer as realistic as a racer that is part simply racer with the most realistic graphics ever in any racer?

Yes it was bundled more.  Also factor in forza was on the market for almost a year longer.  It's truly incredible how driveclub is about to become next gen king so soon.

People can say what they want, but this game is so much fun and I'm still enjoying it after months of gameplay.

So then you're saying DC will eventually be the best selling next gen racer with a particular graphics style. Because realistic racer has more than one meaning, and your OP just says "best selling next gen racer" when it is clearly not even close.

And saying it's the best selling racer with a particular graphics style would be like me saying Forza 5 is the best selling next gen racer with a 5 in the title and developed by a studio with a 10 in the title.

Anyway confusing thread title/OP is confusing. Gonna bow out now.

Well, no one forced you to comment on this thread. Kerotan wanted to discuss a specific topic, so if you don't like it, that's fine. But the bolded is just ridiculous. His topic with the new title is pretty clear to almost everyone and there's no need for such silly comparisons. Mario Kart 8 is a great game but it neither looks nor plays realistically. When Drive Club introduces throwing bananas at an opponent and getting stars with which you can hurt your enemies, by all means, don't call that realistic either.

What is the definition of a "realistic" racer? Racing with "real" cars?

Gran Turismo?

Narubull basically said what I was going to say.  You know what I mean.  Maybe you don't like what I'm saying so if you don't like the fact driveclub is on it's way to glory just don't post in my thread.  There's no obligation especially if I confuse you.
