Sales are great, they definately are not under performing.

Well Forza doesn't have the brand recognition that Gran Turismo has, so in a sense it still did pretty well so far considering that disadvantage.

Depends on what were you expecting.

Some here said F3 would be the premier sim of this gen, the biggest seler around 7 million.  But afer failing to out do GT5ps opening week they all dissapeared. 

Compared to GT it is severly under performing, compared to all others its doing very well.

Yes what your saying is very true, its not because they are not first that they dont have success.

Compared to what most said it's not underperforming. There's already been an argument on here about taking what one person said and using that to lambast the rest. And how do you know it wont be the premier racer this gen? That's subjective.

Well its not doing too badly for an IP thats still growing.

So long as every iteration outperforms the last then Turn 10 should be more than pleased.

I'm still waiting for somebody to post some comments from Trun 10 about expected sales for Forza 3...the game got a triple A rating, so it would seem that they delivered. The game is selling WELL ahead of Forza 2, so again, they delivered.

Maybe they didn't predict sales, but after all their bragging about how unbeatable F3 is, and given XB360 user base still bigger than PS3, and a lot bigger than PS3 when GT5P was released, it would be reasonable to expect F3 to beat at least GT5P.

lol btw how did elticker get banned? Did he make another one of those misleading topics again?

OP@ I don't think it's underperforming but like how Carl mentioned, according to Turn 10's 'standards', it's kinda underperforming a bit I reckon. After all their stupid comments and arrogant hyping.

Can somebody explain Turn 10's "standards"?


its fu***d up why i got banned its because nintendo fan girl reported me for posting that : banned unless you tell me what excites you about yaoi. I just find gay men to be abnormal and gene mutations which shouldnt exsist. unless.

on her your banned thread. she reported that as offensive and i don't give a f**k if i get banned but i should get banned for a good reason not because of that.
