Forums - Sales - FM3? Is it about to have tremendous legs?

Best racing game this gen *So far*

Deserves every sale it gets.



Around the Network

Well, racers typically have better legs than shooters and most sports games. It'll have a good holiday season and I think it could well manage 3-3.5 million lifetime. If there was a Forza 3/Fable II bundle for instance, or even just Forza 3, I'd buy it tomorrow (no joke but the only Elite bundle here now is Lego Batman and Lego Indiana Jones... ).

I never stick up for selnor i have never done so. I mean what the heck we have had some "nice" debates over VGC.


Anyway on topic




Why are you all using GT5:P to discredit Forza 3. I mean come on it might be a demo but it is still from the GT franchise.

I like my fellow PS owners but one thing i will not tolerate from no-one is hypocrisy. I am sure many of you are fast to cry foul when someone says Killzone 2, Resistance 2 did crap because it failed to reach Halo 3 1st week numbers and got "CRUSHED" by what is no more then a Halo expansion by the name of ODST.

I am sure if halo released a multiplayer demo before it released that it would have outsold Resistance. I mean dam its fucking Halo. Like how GT is fucking Gran Turismo.

LBP didnt sell like mario so is that a flop?
KZ2, R2, R1 didnt sell like a Halo so is that a flop?
Forza isnt going to sell like a Gran Turismo so is it a flop?
Godfather, saints row 1+2 isnt going to sell like a Grand Theft Auto so is it a flop?

Has my point come through yet?

Even though i know you people didnt use the word flop you still used one of the strongest franchises in the gaming world to discredit the sales of game that is doing well.

Thanks man. I have had alot of crap today. Loads of predictions on this site have been loads worse than mine. Yet I am getting singled out. I really am beginning to hate the site. I dont even wanna voice my opinion of prediction anymore after today. Everytime I do, I will be singled out. Yet many threads open with ludicrous predictions and people try and defend it? I'm lost.



May this be a lesson to the ppl calling other shooter a flop becausd it didn't do halo numbers.



The EU increase has most definitely got to do with bundles. Literally later on today I am getting the £200 Elite with MW2 and Forza 3 from GAME. If impressions are anything to go buy it is a great game and deserves evey sale it gets.

Edit - Just had a look at Gamestation as well and they are doing some great Forza 3 bundles as well. Might go for Halo ODST + Forza 3 in stead of MW2........MIGHT.

woe. Wjats with the trolling. 1st post and GT5 is brought up. Oh how VGChartz is suffering these days.

Look at the people immediately posting after the OP. I don't that's a very fair thing to say.

Thread; GT is the PS brand's Halo, the flagship franchise so to speak so the comparison is somewhat unreasonable (like Serious_frusting said) and I don't think anyone were/are dumb enough to think that FM3's sales would in any way compete with GT's.

selnor; the craziest predictions I've ever seen in here are almost all put forth by fans of a certain Nintendo console, there are some truly cringe worthy prophecies in here (I've made my share in the past but have learned a lot in my stay).

Anyway, I'm interested in the sales of Forza 3 myself and not the comparison to other games seeing as this is probably my most anticipated 360 title so far this gen. Higher sales could mean more online support in the form of DLC with new cars, parts and tracks and that can't be a bad thing!

Well now you know how those that had posative PS3 prediction were treated for a long time.

Fanboy casue i though Br would win, that PS3 games would look better then 360 ones that PS3 being more powerfull made me a fanboy.  That iam a retard for saying PS3 would ever out sale 360 and a flat out moron that it would out sale wii (see japan sales) not totally wrong. 

Sucks dont it

And you were the biggest that game hater you denied its massive sales capability more then others.  Only reality made you stfu and accept Forza is no where near its level. 

 

But what ever F3 sales threadd with out that game fine, its cool.  It is your thread i can respect that.

 

 

 



I do believe you are singled out Selnor which is not fair and sometimes to the point of flaming. But, you are partly to blame, you have created a reputation and it follows you everywhere. What ever you say, some people can't wait to go after you.

While i do think it's wrong, you started it, and you must find a way along side those who go after you to stop this madness because its killing some great threads.

Selnor, just take a look at the Forza 2 sales. Forza 3 has much better legs (so far), better reviews, appeal to more people (excellent graphics and huge campaign) and will be bundled. Forza 2 was able to sell 4M+ having low legs, Forza 3 will be 5M+ easily in my opinion.

Let's see the sales for this baby on the holiday, we will have a clue of how it's gonna be. ;)
