Forza franchise exceeds $1 billion in sales

Thread Title:

Forza franchise exceeds 1 billion in sales

Article Title:

The Forza Franchise Has Exceeded $1 Billion in Retail Sales

Where is the deception? Because he left out retail? I assume retail means boxed copies? So if retail doesn't include digital, then what should the headline be? If it already exceeded a billion with retail copies, then:

The Forza Franchise has SUPER exceeded $1 Billion in Retail and Digital sales?

Maybe I am missing something here or I am not reading into it enough?

lol, next he'll ask me where anyone has said something negative against xb1/scorpio/MS...
 
if op wasn't deceptive with the thread title I wouldn't bring attention to it.

Was pretty straight forward. Forza is now a billion dollar franchise. How it got there is irrelevant. It's a successful franchise and should be celebrated.

One "how" is relevant, although the OP made this clear. This is revenue derived from retail, and a free bundled game generates 0 revenue at retail, so this discludes bundles.

Bascially around 17M Forza games have sold at retail for the equivilent of $60...except some of those will be reduced or the GOTY edition, so it's higher then that. Then you add in the digital and bundles.

I'd guess the whole series is at about 32-36 million. It's bigger then gears by numbers, but that's 10 games vs 5.

Leave it to Val to turn a positive Forza thread into a sales war.

He knows what he's doing, and everyone always shoots him down. Why he does this who knows. Funny thing is that someone from this board PM'ed me one time and actually said he's a normal guy on party chat. But on this forum, he some reason acts like a brat. Go figure.

Nobody would think Forza sold 1 billion copies. Even the best franchise in gaming history (maybe CoD or GTA or Super Mario) hasn't come close to 1 billion. It's like when Sega announced they sold 100 million on Dreamcast launch day. Of course it means sales dollars and not pieces of hardware.

It is his shtick and I wouldn't change a thing. Without the nonsense who would we point and laugh @? Other then bellybama and troublegum?

Low key downplaying a franchise. Yet I see no complaints from Zero-0 this time.

It didn't SELL One Billion Copies LOL
 
Now I get it. It's because the $ symbol was dropped. And here I thought Forza sold 1,000,000,000+ retail copies.

Damn you for your deception!

Val is literally my fav poster on here! I love him to the moon and back, Alice!

He keeps things interesting, and he does offer some great points.

In saying that, I'm still aching for Froz's purple headed womb ferret.

On topic, I've never been a huge racing fan since Diddy Kong racing. I got into GT3 and PGR, but as soon as things get too sim-like, I hate them. Project Cars was a hanky boring mess for me. I understand what it was doing, but I didn't find any joy in it.

Forza Horizon 3 is the first Forza I have bought new, and it was $22 AUD, and it's purely because I can drive around parts of where I grew up.

In saying that... Damn. The game looks amazing on PC. I played the demo on Xbox, and came away thinking "Yeah... I guess it looks good..." But on PC... Dayummm!!!

They got the sky so right, the light as well.

Val definitely has a place here but maybe not in any pro xbox threads?
