Forza 6 went down 5 places, and now is sitting at #38 (Amazon Top 100) and going down BTW.

 

I dont think the game is doing too hot. I predict that it will sell less than Forza 5.


Weekly, monthly, daily, hourly?  I guess Amazon is all that we have but I never considered it a reliable source of anything.  I'm one of those "You can't play sales" guys but I do like to see a good game sell well.  Forza is too complex for me and has to much content so I'm not gonna buy it but a success story would be nice.  

 

It's got a nice console bundle, too.  That should help things.

Amazon... Really?

Anywho, Forza tends to have pretty good legs. Forza 5 hit 2 million fairly recently.

It has the potential to sell better than Forza 5. I think critical reception is going to help with that. Maybe Forza fans rather drive to the store than use Amazon?

Forza is fine for people that just want to race as well. You dont have to play with the tweaks.

Forza is a series I enjoy playing while listening to podcasts, news, etc. I just like how it feels as a racer and the campaign content keeps me going.

Game Trailers - 8.9 - "Forza Motorsport 6 maintains the series’ strong handling, robust features, and its ability to bring together players of varied skill levels. There are improvements in virtually every area, but even with additions like night and weather, it doesn’t really feel like there’s a standout change to push the series forward. It seems like most of the effort this time around went into getting Forza back on track."

Gaming Trend - 90 - "With improvements in literally every area, Forza Motorsport 6 positions itself as the absolute best racer on the market. There are a few oil leaks, but when compared to the upgrades, they are easier to ignore."

So critically the best racer this gen. At least it looks to be a lot better than Forza 5 and it seems the weather affects gameplay like no racer has done before.
I wonder what Forza 7 will do in terms of improvement.

One of the best, not the best

I think it looks way better than Forza 5, which was a bitter disappointment to me personally.

That said, I doubt it will outsell Forza 5, as there are a surprising number of people who will just skip a release in an iterative series like Forza, GT, Madden, etc. But more importantly, it's releasing right in a crapstorm of content this fall that even while not directly competing on the race-sim field, more than likely will have most gamers priorities in purchasing.

This fall's lineup blows away 2013 and 2014 by a long shot for console imho.

My guess for Forza 5 total lifetime sales : 3M (if they mark it $19.99 value or whatever and keep it on shelves/online)

My guess for Forza 6 total lifetime sales : 2M

If the game is as good as the reviewers are saying, its a shame that its not doing so hot sales wise.

Its sitting currently at #33 on the Amazon Top 100 and going Down.

I guess the franchise peaked with Forza 3 and going down since then.

Forza 1 - 1.05
Forza 2 - 4.04
Forza 3 - 5.48
Forza 4 - 4.48
Forza 5 - 2.01

IMO they have to rest the franchise for a couple of years, not because they are bad games, but because of the saturation of the market.

If Forza 6 does poor maybe I'll agree. But 2 million seems to be about the average for the series if you exclude mass bundling.

Also, this is the racing series Xbox users actually care about. So that's a motivator to put out a Forza game every year.

Exactly Forza 5 and Forza Horzion 2 are the only racing games that sold over a million copies on the X1 the next highest is Need For Speed Rivals 570K.  The next Need For Speed might do better then that but I doubt it will sell over a million.  A racing game without Forza in the title selling over a million copies on the X1 might not happen until after Horizon 3 comes out.


Forza 6 went down 5 places, and now is sitting at #38 (Amazon Top 100) and going down BTW.

 

I dont think the game is doing too hot. I predict that it will sell less than Forza 5.

Doubt it a lot of people are already playing it since they bought the Ultimate Edition like I did and that is not going to show up in sales because its digital only.

''A lot of people'' dont tell me much, lets wait for official numbers. 

I still predict that it will sell less than Forza 5 tho.



I'm buying digital so mines won't count
