	blue7x7 posted 20/11/2009, 04:25 @BenVtrigger I know right most people I guess just want this game to fail. 1 million in 3 weeks and still no US numbers is really good and it also seems like it will have strong legs especially since the holidays are coming. Message \| Report

	penguin posted 19/11/2009, 11:42 @ mykem You are missing the point and that is the PS3 , GT5 and Prologue have NOTHING to do with the 360 or Forza 3 so why even mention it here ? Why not mention Need for speed PS3 as it is just as pointless. And GT5 will probably never sell the amount it needs to make a profit anyway but that has nothing to do with Forza 3 either Message \| Report
	mykem posted 19/11/2009, 08:54 @penguin You forgot to add the fact that Prologue is also sold through PSN as a downloadable game. In fact, it is how it got started when it was release in Japan (and other East Asian countries). The actual number is about the same as Forza 2, slightly over 4 million copies. As to FM3, my prediction is that it will sell slightly better than FM2 but nowhere near the number PD has achieved in the past with GT4 and the future with GT5. It just doesn't have the name recognition. Message \| Report

	Boneitis posted 14/11/2009, 03:19 @ kazuyamishima Who cares if its not doing nearly as well as GT5P? Lets not forget GT5P is only $30 and part of a mega popular franchise. Forza 3 is going to sell a several million and will be the best selling Xbox 360 racer. Since you want to compare mega popular franchises. ODST has almost outsold every Sony 1st party game this gen. The only Sony games with higher sales were heavily bundled. And ODST uses mostly recycled content. Message \| Report

	RPG posted 13/11/2009, 03:29 Really good sales and should hopefully have great legs but not as high a start as I was expecting. The racing genre in NA is simply dead now and nothing sells well besides Mario Kart. I know Forza 3 and MW2 are different genres but I do think MW2 will eat into Forza 3 sales. Only so much money one might have and a choice has to be made. That said I think GT5 was scared away by MW2 as well.....what a beast the COD franchise is now. Message \| Report
	kazuyamishima posted 13/11/2009, 03:07 @blue7x7: For me i think the sales are bad, even Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (a Super Demo) had better sales in the first 3 weeks than Forza 3, an i seen a lot of advertising with Forza 3. Message \| Report
	blue7x7 posted 13/11/2009, 01:26 @Mykem The userbase has nothing to do with it. Just use Resistance as an example by your logic Resistance 2 should have sold 5 million minimum since Resistance 1 sold 3.6 and was a launch title. Anyways people who say its a fail are just laughable since it has already sold over 800,000 in 2 weeks now that the US numbers are in. Which Forza 2 took 8 weeks to achieve that much. Message \| Report
	mykem posted 12/11/2009, 06:45 blue7x7 670k isn't bad at all. But if you compare FM3 to FM2, although the number is up (1st week 500k vs 300k), you also have to remember at the time FM2 went on sale there were barely 10million 360 user base. Now it's 3 times that number. Message \| Report
	account2099 posted 11/11/2009, 06:45 i wouldnt say anything bad about the sales of this game. Technically its beating the sales of GT5...which sold a total of 0 copies so far :P Message \| Report

	blue7x7 posted 11/11/2009, 07:17 Why are people saying 670,000 units in 2 weeks is bad and still vgchartz doesn't have the US numbers for the second week. Since when is that considered bad. Forza isn't that big of a game to begin with. It has already done better than forza 2 in the same period. Message \| Report

	mykem posted 07/11/2009, 10:01 With MW2 out in a couple of days and most of 360 owners are fans of FPS (and there's no bigger game than MW2), it will greatly affect the sales of FM3. Another thing that might've helped FM2 is that it came out at the beginning of the current console cycle and unlike then, the current market are quite saturated. Considering that the 360 user base has increased quite a bit from 2007 (when FM2 hit the market), the sales of FM3 isn't quite reflective of that. Message \| Report
	donsterydo2 posted 06/11/2009, 11:55 At the end of 2009 it will be at least 1.5m Message \| Report
	donsterydo2 posted 06/11/2009, 11:52 I would call it "realistic" : US 150k, Others 100k. I expected bigger initial sales (in Europe), but they are still good for a racing sim on a hardcore FPS console. After 3 weeks Forza 3 will have bigger sales than Shift on PS3 after 8 weeks, pretty good IMHO. Message \| Report
	Ronster316 posted 06/11/2009, 10:28 I wasn't a big fan of Forza 2 and would have scored it 7/10. Forza 3 on the other hand i can now declare that its the BEST racing game i have played this generation, it blows PGR 3&4, GRID, NFS: Shift, Dirt 2 ect ect ect out of the water with ease.......... 9.7/10 for me, AMAZING racer.

	Cowboys4u86 posted 06/11/2009, 11:53 Good sales for Forza, although I'm sure Turn 10 won't be pleased that it didn't sell anything like what GT does, despite them crowing about how much better it is. Europe should see this to 1 million by itself. We love racers. Message \| Report
	ChichiriMuyo posted 06/11/2009, 09:12 Forza 3 is going to break a million for sure, but comparing its numbers to Forza 2 indicates it's not getting much further and breaking 1 million by the end of the calendar year isn't even remotely guaranteed. This game is going to need a pack-in if they want it to go past 2 million. Message \| Report
	Da Teacha KRS posted 06/11/2009, 07:38 Definately at 1 million before christmas. Pretty good first week for the Americas. I hope the second week in the Americas is going to be like the second week in Others. Message \| Report

	bkslopper posted 04/11/2009, 02:26 @geddesmond2 Well before I tried Forza 2, I played and owned GT1-4. Now I don't own any GT games and have Forza 2 and 3. I will check out GT5 since I'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt, but the doubt is there. My only hope is that they have copied Forza and improved. (Much the same as Forza copied GT and improved the formula.) Message \| Report
	Boneitis posted 04/11/2009, 10:20 @ geddesmond2 Oh, so they essentially bundled GT PSP with the PSPgo? Well that explains the massive PSPgo sales. The rest of your comment is just ignorant. Message \| Report
	geddesmond2 posted 03/11/2009, 04:25 @bonetitis Your forgetting that gt PSP is available via download and Sony ran a promotion for new PSP Go owners who registered there PSP Go within 10 days were given a code to download GT PSP for free. Also people keep bringing up GT5 because 360 owners seemed to have it in there heads that Forza is better than GT. But of course it ain't. But as long as 360 owners say it is then PS3 owners will bring up gt Message \| Report
	Boneitis posted 02/11/2009, 09:06 Why does everyone keep bringing up GT? We already know that its a more popular IP. Do Wii fans flood the GT pages with Mario Kart? Message \| Report
	Boneitis posted 02/11/2009, 09:00 @ cheese_man The first week of Forza 3 is going to be better than the first 4 weeks of GT PSP. Not a great start for GT PSP considering its part of a mega popular franchise and its cheaper. Sales are already dwindling and Gamestop sells if for $27 Used. Message \| Report
	Boneitis posted 02/11/2009, 08:48 @ huaxiong90 Honestly, I don't believe bad PSP sales are because of piracy. Most people don't even have the skill to use Windows Update let alone hack their PSP and download games. People who own a PSP probably play HD consoles primarily. Perhaps a lot of people bought the PSP with the purpose of watching movies, playing music, etc. Its cheaper than other devices that offer those same features and it has a great screen. I'd sooner believe many other factors than piracy. Message \| Report

	huaxiong90 posted 02/11/2009, 11:39 @Boneitis: Resistance on PSP sold bad because of piracy. Message \| Report
	Boneitis posted 01/11/2009, 11:06 @ haxxiy I'm rather positive the original Resistance outsold the sequel with bundling excluded. Forza 3 will definitely outsell Forza 2 with bundling excluded. Therefore the demand of Forza has grown while Resistance did not. Resistance on the PSP did not do great either. Most of its sales appear to be after it became $20. Message \| Report

	mykem posted 31/10/2009, 04:08 If you look at Vgchartz Prologue page you'll see that on first week it sells Others/Japan (which is the number currently for FM3) is 509,648, more than double the sale for FM3. Of course this doesn't include the sale number for its PSN download version. Message \| Report
	haxxiy posted 31/10/2009, 01:48 GT5:P actually did 400k Europe/Others first week. FM3 will surely beat it in Americas but even there it will be around 250-300k. So a 500-550k first week is more reasonable, with a 2.5-3m lifetime. It will fall from F2 numbers if not bundled, kinda like R2 fell from Resistance sales. Message \| Report

	Boneitis posted 30/10/2009, 10:01 @ RPG I think Mario Kart is in a league of its own now. GT4 did 10 million. GT PSP sales is no Mario Kart DS. GT5 will probably be the lowest ever for a console release. Message \| Report
	Chris Hu posted 30/10/2009, 05:58 Good numbers considering that Forza 2 only sold around 40,000 total in Japan. Also Forza 2 was heavily bundled with half of its sales coming through bundles. Message \| Report
	RPG posted 30/10/2009, 04:06 No you are going to be way way off.....WAY off. 460k is what will be needed to meet the lower bar of your estimation which I don't think will happen if those pre-order numbers are anything to go by. Great numbers either way but it really does show that the racing genre is not huge at all. Just two big boys in Mario Kart and GT but that is it. Message \| Report

	JustThatGamer posted 27/09/2012, 02:57 Uncharted 3 is bundled a lot more than this game, I love the hypocrites who praise UC3's sales but disregard Forza 3's success when really both games gained between 30-40% of their sales due to mass bundling. UC2 was mass bundled too, it would only have achieved 70-80% of it's current sales if it weren't for bundling. At the end of the day both Forza and Uncharted rely heavily on bundles, without them Uncharted would only be marginally bigger. The only 1st party exclusives this gen (HD consoles) to have sold over 5 million without the need for mass bundling are: GT5, GoW3, GeoW 1,2,3 and Halo 3,ODST, Reach, they're the games that deserve to be praised.

Why not mention Need for speed PS3 as it is just as pointless. And GT5 will probably never sell the amount it needs to make a profit anyway but that has nothing to do with Forza 3 either Message \| Report
	mykem posted 19/11/2009, 08:54 @penguin You forgot to add the fact that Prologue is also sold through PSN as a downloadable game. In fact, it is how it got started when it was release in Japan (and other East Asian countries). The actual number is about the same as Forza 2, slightly over 4 million copies. As to FM3, my prediction is that it will sell slightly better than FM2 but nowhere near the number PD has achieved in the past with GT4 and the future with GT5. It just doesn't have the name recognition. Message \| Report

	RPG posted 13/11/2009, 03:29 Really good sales and should hopefully have great legs but not as high a start as I was expecting. The racing genre in NA is simply dead now and nothing sells well besides Mario Kart. I know Forza 3 and MW2 are different genres but I do think MW2 will eat into Forza 3 sales. Only so much money one might have and a choice has to be made. That said I think GT5 was scared away by MW2 as well.....what a beast the COD franchise is now. Message \| Report

	blue7x7 posted 13/11/2009, 01:26 @Mykem The userbase has nothing to do with it. Just use Resistance as an example by your logic Resistance 2 should have sold 5 million minimum since Resistance 1 sold 3.6 and was a launch title. Anyways people who say its a fail are just laughable since it has already sold over 800,000 in 2 weeks now that the US numbers are in. Which Forza 2 took 8 weeks to achieve that much.

	mykem posted 12/11/2009, 06:45 blue7x7 670k isn't bad at all. But if you compare FM3 to FM2, although the number is up (1st week 500k vs 300k), you also have to remember at the time FM2 went on sale there were barely 10million 360 user base. Now it's 3 times that number. Message \| Report

	mykem posted 07/11/2009, 10:01 With MW2 out in a couple of days and most of 360 owners are fans of FPS (and there's no bigger game than MW2), it will greatly affect the sales of FM3. Another thing that might've helped FM2 is that it came out at the beginning of the current console cycle and unlike then, the current market are quite saturated. Considering that the 360 user base has increased quite a bit from 2007 (when FM2 hit the market), the sales of FM3 isn't quite reflective of that. Message \| Report

	Boneitis posted 02/11/2009, 08:48 @ huaxiong90 Honestly, I don't believe bad PSP sales are because of piracy. Most people don't even have the skill to use Windows Update let alone hack their PSP and download games. People who own a PSP probably play HD consoles primarily. Perhaps a lot of people bought the PSP with the purpose of watching movies, playing music, etc. Its cheaper than other devices that offer those same features and it has a great screen. I'd sooner believe many other factors than piracy. Message \| Report

	sales2099 posted 04/01/2013, 06:35 Correction, it sold 4,373,649 at the end of 2010. So a cool million on its own steam again, again with Forza 4 out since late 2011. All in all, only about 2 million of this games sales is bundles. Message \| Report
	sales2099 posted 04/01/2013, 06:31 Since its bundling stopped, it sold about 500k, even with Forza 4 out. Impressive. Message \| Report
	JustThatGamer posted 27/09/2012, 02:57 Uncharted 3 is bundled a lot more than this game, I love the hypocrites who praise UC3's sales but disregard Forza 3's success when really both games gained between 30-40% of their sales due to mass bundling. UC2 was mass bundled too, it would only have achieved 70-80% of it's current sales if it weren't for bundling. At the end of the day both Forza and Uncharted rely heavily on bundles, without them Uncharted would only be marginally bigger. The only 1st party exclusives this gen (HD consoles) to have sold over 5 million without the need for mass bundling are: GT5, GoW3, GeoW 1,2,3 and Halo 3,ODST, Reach, they're the games that deserve to be praised.
