I can see it selling 3 to 5 million units, maybe even more due to sheer novelty of core Xbox franchise being on ps. Personally I doubt it will do gt7 or even gt sport numbers though

Depends on how much marketing goes behind it. If they throw it out there to die like Sony has been doing with their PC ports, it may barely touch 1.5 million. Hope they make at least a Sea of Thieves level of effort

The only series that made me seriously consider buying an Xbox

 

[Big Baller]

Horizon 3 was the last good one

It's funny how for some people here getting a new good game on your favorite platform is like

 

[DenchDeckard]

What would I be mad about? Moving to PC this gen has paid off for me.

There's a wide range between 2% and "nearly all".

This is what I dont get about the sony guys. It's like constant gas lighting. Someone mentions something...you respond to that point with an alternative thought process and they all jump on you. Telling you, you aren't taking this news well. Xbox has wounded you etc and j reality your sat there laughing at their pathetic emoji and constant tirades about how unfit you are mentally....yet they are doing the above..

I think more people are catching on to it.

But it's some serious unhealthy gaslighting from that camp.

I dont know what the cause is.

Just to add. I like you he who walks but please take a step back and analyse what you guys do, are doing.

I don’t think Xbox is gonna care when this is yet another Xbox game that dominates the charts in terms of player engagement. GT is in trouble now! It won’t be the premier racer on PS anymore. Not after Rheyvget a taste of FH5.

 

[T-0800]

Get ready for Gran Turismo's sales record to be broken and crushed like a beer can. Yawl really don't know how special FH games truly are! FH has the ability to attract the the gearheads and the casuals! That's a record busting setup!

Don't think so. I've played Forza 5 and it is a solid game and I expect it to do well. Not close to GT numbers though. Personally I'm not a fan of open world racing games. It's like GTA but you can't get out of your car.

I also got called Phil Spencer and emote spammed for having opinions not 100% matching theirs and i don't even have any consoles. I think they're bored, because this forum not even has 5 Xbox fans and their hate speeches are becoming a boring echo chamber and they're fighting windmills. They know the console war is over and they don't like it.

show me the "rumbler" inside the trigger. I have seen these things gutted, and there is literally nothing inside the trigger other than plastic. and the only thing connected to the trigger is the plastic trigger stop and the rubber dome pad.

show me a picture of the rumble motor of the Dualsense triggers...

this is how Astro's Playroom does the "rumble" effect:


as you can see, the "rumble" is the motor turning the gear, and the plastic stopper pushing against the trigger multiple times a second

Already covered it in subsequent responses. The controller in its entirety doesn't have a single rumbler, you're looking for the wrong thing.

You mean the same alternate thought process wherein you dragged astrobot in comparison to Indiana Jones suggesting how Indiana Jones is more successful because it had 4 million players while astrobot has 1.5 mil, especially pointing out how it's more impressive because ps5 has bigger install base than Xbox? The one wherein you completely forgot Indiana Jones also launched on steam which has a bigger install base than ps5? Or the one wherein you were describing astrobot as "Sony sponsored tga game of the year"? Or the one wherein after not having a rebuttal you started doing personal attacks?

I know some people are having a rough time but fucking hell, the cringe is so strong I must sleep immediately to forget what I've read. Some people going to get drunk and cry themselves to sleep tonight. It's ok. Everything will seem better in the morning after a good cry and sleep.

@RickMasters Mattyp

If you had seen my post history you would know I’m happy for these games to come to PlayStation it means more players, some seem triggered thinking this won’t do huge numbers on PlayStation. It will. It’s done 40 million globally already, it’s the largest racing game in the world.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Now that's a proper big MS game finally coming to PlayStation. I'm very curious whether Forza Horizon 6 will launch only on Xbox or will Microsoft finish burying their console by then and make it multiplatform.

Gotta say, I am a bit tempted to replay it all over again and to get all the new trophies. But that will depend on the pricing and from what I understand they still plan to sell the big expansions separately? The game's several years old and it should be some game of the year edition with everything in one package.

PlayStation owners choose PlayStation because of Gran Turismo.

If they wanted Forza they’d have gotten an Xbox already,

It’ll do well on PS5, but don’t expect anything earth shattering.

Yes, I think this will benefit MS a lot in the end. These games are, with all due respect, locked to a failed system.

I think even Halo has a chance to properly come back. The first thing is, and thats the hard part, they need to create a good game first. But release it on PS5 simultanously, hell perhaps let Sony do the marketing can bring in some serious day one numbers and player counts. Bank on nostalgia, like MW 2019 did. I think it has a chance.

I think it will do fine. FH5 is an old game by now, so its better to judge it when a new one comes out. But GT isn't anything like the Forza Horizon series. PS doesn't have such a game, unless you count the Wish version of it, The Crew. Regardless, I think FH5 will do well on PS5, its still a very big game actually.

If a new Forza Motorsport is good, then it might do well on Playstation too. Forza does have GT beaten in some areas.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

"Eh, would wait for PS Plus."

It's worth getting if you like racing games and have never played an FH game before. Not the ideal one to start in the series, but it's good

Considering that 64% of XGS revenue is coming from PlayStation, all future XGS games will absolutely be on PlayStation on day one.

Totally hypothetical, but if Microsoft only had resources to ship out one version and delay they other, they'd rather ship out the PlayStation version first and delay the Xbox version, as the PlayStation version would generate them the most money.

Of what? Even SoT has done more sales then Astro

MCC and releasing and the next Halo title would benefit greatly, the only thing Halo Infinite multi is missing is more players.

Yes, your post history of insufferable fanboy. Your remarks about sony's first-party games is just that - attempt to cope from a bitter fanboy. Also it didn't sell 40 million, not even remotely close to that, just another bullshit added to the pile.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Whats everyone's thoughts on sales. I could see this do 6 to 10 million units over its lifetime

 

[CamHostage]

I need Flight Sim

I expected Flight Sim to be the next cross-platform announcement (that, or Hellblade 2, which seems inevitable.) That's also one that I wouldn't have been too concerned about for the platform exodus implications (even thought XGS is the producer/publisher.) Flight Sim just doesn't say "Xbox" to me the way Halo/Gears/Forza do, so to me it fit in to have it go multiplatform with SoT and Grounded and even Indy.

(Either way though, it doesn't matter anymore since MS is abandoning its boy not putting up walls...)

Not sure how they'd name it though, since selling "Flight Simulator 2024" as a brand new game in 2025+ could be a bizarre sell, but I look forward to that coming over. I'm happy that Forza Horizon came over so early though (even though I prefer Xbox as a competitor,) FH is the game I am most jealous of as a PS gamer.

 

[SkylineRKR]

FH5 is kind of an evergreen so yes. Sea of Thieves should be at 2 or 3 million right now. I think FH should be a faster seller and a more popular game.

 

[artsi]

I like both GT and Forza.

GT7 has barely any sedans like BMW, AUDI etc. while Forza Horizon 5 has a ton of normal everyday car models and people want to drive cars they maybe own in real life.

I'm sure FH5 will be a hit.

 

[DonJimbo]

Why not a Forza Horizon Collection M$

Say that then. The moment you say its going to outsell PS first party games, its obvious that you're triggered. All you had to say was it will do well on PS5. Simple. Player numbers isn't sales sales by the way. There's a massive difference between the two. It won't be inflated on PS5 because its not on subscription. I think 5m-10m may be possible. No chance of doing gran turismo numbers. We're talking full priced copies now. Not cheap subscription service where simply opening the game counts in the player numbers.

Here’s hoping some of the Sony IPs come to Xbox now that Xbox is putting all theirs on PS.

Edit:
Can’t believe I have to edit this am not here to war nor do I care for specific boxes. Sony likes money just like MS does. Hence the above.

If the rumours are true about MS allowing steam on Xbox then it’s a moot point.

The reason Microsoft are porting games to PS5 and Switch 2 is because their hardware business is failing.

If Xbox consoles were selling as well as the Switch or PS5 then we wouldn't be seeing Forza or Halo on PS5/Switch 2.

 

[Negotiator101]

Was supposed to be out before Christmas but was delayed for some reason, hope PS gets the next Forza Horizon day one

I think that's highly unlikely with Microsoft's current strategy. It seems only older titles or franchises that were always Multiplatform will appear Day 1, that obviously can change though but it's important to remember that Microsoft are continuing to push Gamepass and exclusive content is a major part of that.

No way you still actually believe that!? Why do you do this to yourself? Everything will be day 1 and much sooner than you think. Stop holding on and just let go..

I'm on the Forza Insider forums. Put more than 1000 hours in it and the developers have stopped interacting with us quite some time ago. Like abandoned us. There are day 1 bugs that aren't fixed and there are countless empty promises. It's been a crazy ride and a painful one for Forza fans. The handling of the cars is amazing, but everything else (besides presentation) is a total disaster. There aren't even stats for Multiplayer. Go figure.

The player counts on Steam are very low and they just announced that everything they planned to do is in doubt and that they will slow down updates from now on. In short: it's over and they lost a lot of trust with their community.

This series needs at least a 10 year break to even try and recover but to be honest, next to Gran Turismo I see no reason why they should even try. They clearly aren't up to the task and I think the studio is in big trouble.

Very unlikely the studio gets shut down. I think they’ll try to do another reboot and come back with a numbered entry. They’ll certainly need a lot of effort to win fans back, because this was a disasterclass launch.
They shit this bed with this ‘platform + 10 years support’ approach. Crazy mismanagement there.

I’m not sure why devs keep tinkering with shit that doesn’t need to be change. You had 343 unilaterally deciding to change the XP system in Halo Infinite MP and that ended up being very unpopular. Then Turn 10 decided on their own that they wanted some ‘Car RPG’ shit for progression in Forza Motorsport and that got panned widely.

Depends on how much marketing goes behind it. If they throw it out there to die like Sony has been doing with their PC ports, it may barely touch 1.5 million. Hope they make at least a Sea of Thieves level of effort

They will definitely market it more than SoT. I’d expect to see it pushed for Switch 2 starting in April.

 

[deriks]

The start music of the game defines the whole game. It's great

 

[Audiophile]

But I want FH4!

Nobody tell kloberille that Forbidden West, a game from 3 years ago is outdoing Indiana Jones on steam alone even today. He'll have an aneurysm.

Of what? Even SoT has done more sales then Astro

No it hasn't. At least on PS it hasn't.

It seems only older titles or franchises that were always Multiplatform will appear Day 1, that obviously can change though but it's important to remember that Microsoft are continuing to push Gamepass and exclusive content is a major part of that.

At this point, it’s quite evident that after these wave of games that are too far along to get out PS5 ports day one, you’re likely to see day and date from next year for most things. Especially published stuff like Kojima’s OD.

Only places you’ll likely see delays are in long running franchises where it makes sense to bring in the older titles first.

So a Gears 1-3 remaster port to PS5 and Switch 2 before Gears E-day, Halo MCC before Infinite etc.

He might be using player count and sales interchangeably but he says 'sales', he's incorrect. SoT hasn't sold more on PS than Astrobot. SoT charted for a very short while then disappeared. He's likely using the 1.5M Astrobot figure from November.

 

[Ozriel]

Of what? Even SoT has done more sales then Astro

Nah. We don’t see that in the U.S. on the PS charts.

Future MS games will come with a "Better on PS5 PRO" in the marketing

Do you see MS or Sony games marketed with ‘better on PC’?

 

[Team Andromeda]

Hopefully this means Forza Horizon 6 for Series X will be at the Summer showcase and ready to launch at the end of the year .
