Forums - Sales - Will Forza 3 even outsell GT5 Prologue?

ArcticGabe on 07 November 2009

You mean Forza 3 is going to end up sold less than Forza 2?

Well, it's like
Froza 3> Killzone 2
Halo>GT

Well, it's like
Froza 3> Killzone 2 KZ2 First Week > Forza 3 First week
Halo>GT

Halo series total sales Approximated to the HIGHER million Value - Halo 7 million + Halo2 9 million + Halo3 11 million = 27 million

27/3 ---> Average Halo game sells 9 million

(too early to judge ODST, but I doubt it will sell 9 million)

GT series total sales 52million. ROFL ROFL ROFL !

Main 4 games, approximated to the Lower million value - 10

GT 10 million (although its closer to 11 I'm using lower values to show just how HUGE this is) + GT2 9 million + GT3 14 (again close to 15) + GT4 10 million = 43 million

43/4 ---> 10.75 average.

Halo won't be as big as GT as average will go down due to ODST lackluster sales. GT5 will sell atleast 9 million and DESTROY Forza 3 sales.

You have a time machine ? How is the future ? That is just trollish. Spongebob avatar makes it even worse. Aren't you the guy who said Demon's Souls 2nd week was "Ouch" in the game page ? In fact you seem to pop up quite commonly in the PS3 game pages saying how disappointing the sales are.

See the red spongebob ? Read that well.

If America isn't carrying Forza 3, Europe will...but Europe stays true to the Gran Turismo franchise. Looks like they are going to choose one and one alone.

An excellent racer, if we hear most of the people who tried it, but MS proprietary policy about peripherals, limiting wheels choice, is certainly damaging it.

MGS4rver - You forgot Halo Wars. People expected that to sell more than 3 million based on halo name alone.

What are GT5:P sales? We have the estimate here, but in theory it's low because it doesn't include PSN.

OT - it could, but likely not by much. GT5 sales are likely to be way ahead of Forza 3 though, so for those who sales matter to in arguments its very probably going to be the case that GT5 is going to be proclaimed the clear winner.

Also, a lot depends on the holidays. I could see Forza 3 actually getting squeezed with MW2, etc. so it might end up behind Gt5:P. Boy, if that happens the Turn 10 guys are going to be spitting.

Either way GT5/Forza 3 flame fests and arguments are sure to continue.


the problem is that THERE IS A FM3 bundle but ... it is not everywhere and, for example, it is not in France

while the MW2 bundle is EVERYWHERE

MS doesn't seem to understand FM3 was their biggest weapon to get back europe OR there are still focusing too much on the FPS/online crowd that is mainly concentrated on ... NA !

Well, I do feel Forza 3 released a little to close to MW2 on 360, particularly given MS has got behind that title.  I think MS is always drawn towards defending its position with 360 in America and getting behind big franchises, as it did with GTA 4, which I think does hurt titles like Forza 3, which could actually help the console get better penetration to new users than another FPS (no matter how big).

Particularly in Europe I'm surprised how little hype there is behind Forza 3, while interest in GT5 is now starting to ramp up.  If I was MS I'd get behind MW2 in US, but I'd actually be making Forza 3 and Forza 3 bundles my big push before GT5 lands - after that I think the racing demographic is going to be tied up in PS3.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Dunno if it's fair to include a quick cash in like OSDT when ot including Prologue.

If anything the prologues sales should be included with the main games sales.

I didnt include ODST or Prologue.

But ODST is a main game of the franchise ? GT5P is not even a full game - not even 100 cars ?

That still doesn't change the fact that GT series > Halo series in sales.

Excluding Prologues sales from the sales of the game is like excluding LBP's GTOY edition. MGS substance. PSPGo. DSL lite. PS3 slim. Black Wiis. Japans sales from the WW's
