You assume all those former Xbox fans own an Xbox and/or bought Forza already.Well - no, if it's being bought just by Xbox fans as you suggested, then it being an old game absolutely matters. Not to mention it's on GP - so why would millions of XBox fans bother in the first place?
There's a reason why I said 'former'.
There'd probably also be a portion who double-dip, but that would likely be negligible, so moot.
Yes, I said as much.Also beyond that - the first week of sales / front-loaded audience on every game is people who are very familiar with IPs in the particular genre, so I just don't see the 'new to the userbase' play into it until we see the tail sales.
I never said otherwise.And lest we forget other 'completely new titles' to PS userbase kind of bombed relative to it, so it's pretty evident FH has a wider reach than many other XBox IPs.
My main argument in this thread was that 1st party output is less relevant to Sony, as the Playstation brand itself has extremely strong brand-recognition and mindshare. Which is more than enough to push sales.
Sales were ~13M back in december 2023, about 1.5 years ago.They only need to pull in about 10% of the userbase to outsell GT though
TBH - since we no longer get sales updates from GT, it's a bit harder to tell how well it's doing nowadays. I mean presumably still not quite hitting the 14M (or there abouts) high of GT4 - but how far off is it really.

Gran Turismo 7 has established a new record for the storied racing franchise.

You're delusional if you think Forza will outsell GT7 on PS5.
