IF forza 3 sells more than 3.5 million by the end of 2010 i will let the person taking this bet control by avatar or sig for 1 week. If it doesnt i get to control his sig for a week.

forza 2 was bundled like crazy

the first did 2,5 million in us lifetime and forza 3 doesnt even have more than 100k preorders in us
for comparsion:
uncharted had 1 million in us lifetime and the second has 250k preorders as of now

Forza 2 even got outsold by GT5:P
despite F2 (as said above) was bundled like crazy in 2007

F3 wont even make 3 million


GT5P was released from day one as an officila PS3 bundle for over 6 months. Even with the bundle GT5P has sold 3.15 million and Forza 2 has sold 4 million. My point still stands Forza 2 was only officially bundled for 2 months. Thats it. Be interesting to know how many of GT5P sales were bundles. 1-1.5 million?

Source ? Besides, GT5P Disc + PSN = 4 million +

Cant guess PSN figures. No way is it 785,000. I reckon 100,000 at most. PSN downloads are low.

uh... PD had the PSN version at 600,000 last year ! In their annual report thing they said 4 million.

btw, the Japan bundle moved about 100k after it was released a long time after GT5P release. You cant show that bundling in the UK went on for 6 months.

GT5P sold equal to Forza 2. Forza 3 wont beat GT5P's 4 million sold.

Now, how about that bet ?

Great ads, if it's on think Microsoft knows how to do, it's advertise their product.

It wasnt just uk it was the whole of europe from release. I reckon GT5p sold around 1.75 million units without bundles. Unfortunately you cant say about a game having bundles because all get bundle at some point.

Have to go off actual sales. Of which I believe FM3 will do 5-6 million.

um..no
Forza 2 was BUNDLED WITH VIVA PINATA FOR EVERY ARCADE SOLD !
3.5 million MAX. (unless they bundle it again)
btw, these are japan ads right ?


Um no it wasn't. Forza 2 got bundled for 2 months. With the pro. Officially. Everything else was store done. Every game gets store bundles. Uncharted 1 has been store bundled for nearly 12 months in UK. As has Halo 3.

I think that this tells more than enough.
