I agree that 4M without bundles is probably out of reach, but I don't think 3M is that unrealistic.  It's only 1M more than the previous game, and the userbase has increased a lot since Forza 2 came out. .  Of course it has to be a good game to even have a chance, but I think it is doable.

People used to laugh when it was suggested that Halo 3 could outsell Halo 2, but it has. 

I didnt know this. Can you guide me, how can you see in the database how much sales is from bundles?


OT: Forza 3 will sell 5 million. 3 million real copies + 2 million bundled copies.

I think forza 1st week sales should be about 600k WW. LTD sales should be about 3.5 mil... Do you think it will outsell GT5p Ltd?

ROFLMAO at some predictions

the US pre-orders indicate a 300 - 400K week 1

the franchise is weaker in EU

I expect 2 - 2.5 Million

I really hope it will sell well!!
MS just has to release a big marketing campain and sales would be fine.
I have not seen any ads here in germany yet!!!
Guess it will sell 2-2.5 without bundles ww

3.2m - 3.8m lifetime without bundles...

5.2m - 5.8m lifetime with bundles...

3 mil. 4 bundled.

4 million, maybe 5 if heavily bundled.

3 Million

Well that is an old thread... at that time, almost everyone speculated that Forza would outclass GT and be a genre defining game. At least, that was what Turn 10 kept saying. Since then, a great many reviews came and while not being a bad game, I doubt it is anything close to what Turn 10 sold it to be.

Hence, all those predictions before, the people who posted them then, would likely halve that. I thought myself that Forza would sell about 6-7 mil copies... but now... I expect it to sell 3.5-4 mil.
