I wonder if that includes people that downloaded the demos.
100%.
They would rather have 7 million sales instead.
"Xbox One is the home for racing this generation." While this may be true now, I doubt that it will be able to put up much of a fight against Gran Turismo.
Forza regularly beats GT though.
Sales wise that's true.
Seventizz lol not even close...GT always beats the heck out of Forza in both sales and quality.
It's actually an impressive number of unique users playing Forza, since a user who bought all of them still counts as one user I think. Doesn't say much about sales tho.
Excellent franchise that's at the top of it's genre.
Although, I'd really like another Project Gotham.
That isnt much impressive when we are talking about 7 millions for three games (Forza 5, Forza 6, and Forza Horizon). I bet that GT7 will definitely do over 7 millions on its own.
That means little. Those 7 million include people borrowing/renting the game or buying it second hand. Plus the XBL multiple accounts (silver included) in the same console.
Agree with the first couple of comments but multiple accounts on most consoles? Doubt that would have much of an effect on those numbers.
it most likely includes the players who DL the free Fast and Furious stand alone pack
Yeah, 500,000 servers. I mean laps.
So approximately 2 people per copy of a Forza game sold (VGC 3 million for F5 and FH2 combined + digital sales). I guess that sounds about right.
Well thats good for a console with a 14 million userbase.
Agree.
How is this a joke? You got the actual numbers?
