FH3 had incredible legs, so this game will probably have too.
this is the best driving game I have ever played. amazing game!
Wow, it even outsold FH3, while included in Game Pass on launch day!
Looks set to break the 4m mark since its doing just as good as FH3 which sold 3.9m.
It should sell better, since it’s on PC too this time.
PC is digital only so i dont know if it would be counted. Also FH3 is also on PC.
Well Forza Horizon 3 was on PC also but it was mess from what I have heard for at least the first 6 month this time around from what I have heard it runs a lot better from the beginning and problems that occur are fixed much faster. In the end it should sell better because it is a better game and it will end up with more content. Plus the Ultimate Edition was a better bargain this time since it pretty much includes everything except paid cars after the car pass expires.
FH3 came to PC much later, not at launch...that's what I was hinting at, but yeah...didn't know it was digital only.
@errorist except it didnt? It came to PC at launch, same day as xbox version. What you're thinking about it Forza 6 apex.
Anyway I'm still enjoying the game a lot and today after 1000+ wheelspins I finally got the1964 Austin FX4 Taxi I think I got all the cars locked behind the wheelspins now. Already played the game more then half as much as I played FH3 so even before the first expansion gets released I already got more then my money's worth out of the game.
FH3 was still in the charts when this game launched. Having the time of my life playing FH4, 4 truly does change everything.
FH3 sold 2.5 million by the end of 2016 so I can see FH4 at 3 million, possibly 3.5 million by the end of 2018.
