Fastest does not mean best selling in xbox history.Its not like there's that much to buy on the system yet anyway.You could say the same for killzone shadowfall.

iamnsuperman3712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

There is also the flip side to it. Since they only have moved 3.6 million Xbox One's they were never going to sell more than Forza 4 (which was around 4 million). There was also a lot of games to buy at launch

LackTrue4K3712d ago

correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't Forza racing games always have low sales???

InTheLab3712d ago

No correction necessary. Forza generally sells 1 to 1.5m on it's own and all other sales come from bundling like how F4 was bundled with a 360 and Skyrim.

So it's not surprising that F5 sold what it sold but it will be shocking if it sells more that 2m as a standalone title without a massive price drop.

Muffins12233712d ago

Forza 3 sold 5.39 million,what are you talking about.

LackTrue4K3712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

@ Muffins,
im comparing sales to another great racer/simulator.

Sony/PlayStation's
"Gran Tourism"

Magicite3712d ago

even first forza on original xbox has sold more or about the same as 5th, while all other are far ahead (except horizon)

Advantage of being a launch title.

Also happens to help that Forza has always been good.

Gamer6663712d ago

I disagree...

Deadrising 3 is a lot of fun, Powerstar Golf is a fun extreme golf game, Killer Instinct is an awesome fighting game, Ryse is a solid action game, Forza 5 is a solid racing game, Halo Spartan Assault is a solid top/down shooter, Max and the Curse of Brotherhood is a really good platformer, Peggle 2 is a very cool game, Crimson Dragon is even good after the updates to it. Lococycle is the only really weak launch game for X1.

So over 1.1m, well done.

Add DR3 and Ryse and the top X1 games are well over 2.5m

Ricegum3712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

Yep, Forza deserves it, it's a great franchise.

Congrats Turn10.

NintendoYouth3712d ago

when X1 launched at my Gamestop every purchaser pretty much wanted Forza #1 and Ryse #2.

Both those games are still very popular and we run out quickly.

noctis_lumia3712d ago

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"

Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.

bluefox7551732d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1731d ago

Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.

IRetrouk1732d ago

I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for September 2017 any good?

James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"

Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.

lxeasy2422d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2422d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2422d ago (Edited 2422d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2422d ago

I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.

TheSaint2422d ago

I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.

EazyC2423d ago

Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides

senorfartcushion2423d ago

senorfartcushion2421d ago

Profile picture, son. I'm an adult, I don't do that fanboy nonsense.
