It is just franchise fatigue.

Total Sales or just Retail Sales?
Retail sales I presume. Its down, but it was expected. I think many people bought it digital, plus many are waiting for the XoneX to start playing it. And lets be honest the main entry is down in popularity when compared to the Horizon series. Add to this the fact that GT Sports is right around the corner and the picture gets clearer. Will be interesting to track the legs on this one.
Last Years Forza was horizon 3, it was the Year before that you had Forza 6... horizon 2 the year before that... then 5 in 2013, man the BiYearly jump back and forth between those games really does just take away any sort of excitement or surprise when a new title is on the way.
I would go with any racing game over fifa any day
If i look at my friendlist, there i can see that 90% of the owners of Forza 7 got it digital to play 1 week earlier, so i dont think it sells slower then than 2 years back 90% of them got forza 6 retail........
