Digital sales are high. The game was cheaper digitally on launch.

No, just accept it hasn't sold as well as vgcharts made it seem. Before bundling it was falling fast on the UK chartz as well.

Uhh okay. I'll take your word for it. you seem to know a lot about this stuff.

Thankfully the rest of the world is making up for it. Maybe american gamers should pay less attention to poorly written reviews!

Every country has their likes/dislikes. Racing sims aren't popular here just as MLB The Show isn't popular in the UK. There's no need to overthink this lol.

Yeah think so too
It outsold...no it destroyed Forza Horizon 2 worldwide which seems deserved

DriveClubs quality is unmatched in the Genre currently and its the best racing game with real cars(Mario Kart is good) to own on consoles.

So nice so nice

Some people just can't accept Sony has now 2 racing franchises humiliating their beloved Forza franchise.

Last time I check FH2 didn't use bundles to sell. Also this username is suspecious.

So I normally stay on Nintendo threads but still do not get how NPD can get digital sales numbers whatever the console is. Seems like hacking to me

They don't and nobody said that they are.

Well on Bayo 2 threads the keep saying it's both and i thought someone on here said it both too i could be mistaken

A sale is a sale, doesn't matter if it's bundled. Should we discount every single games sale nowadays because it was in a bundle?

I'm pretty sure that you're misremembering something there, I haven't seen people in the Bayo 2 threads say that NPD numbers include digital numbers.

I just started recently and after 1 race was about 900k on the overall leaderboards

So yeah, close to 1m have the started the game worldwide. That's all I know

I was curious and started DriveClub on my second PSN-Account... I drove extra bad in the initial race to get as less fame as possible and waited an hour to finish the race.

764,754 drivers finished the first race, the slowest one waited over 10 hours to roll over the finish line:

The game was started on over 1 million PSN accounts, I got the second least fame (except the zero-famers):

Of course that doesn't mean that DriveClub is a million-seller yet, even digital sales included (resold games, account sharing, loaned games).

Neither of those estimates are reliable. I bought the game on release and all my times for tour mode are gone in a server reset.
I also started the game on an alternate account which is ranked over 900k. Sales are most definitely under a million. Yet my alternate account keeps dropping in rank so the game is still selling decently.
