GT6 went on to sell 5 million+ on the PS3, thats more than numerous Forza Motorsport titles combined. GTS was a notable increase from GT6 as well. Sure its a big decline from GT5 but the racing game genre is doing that.
F1, Dirt, Project Cars, Forza M have all declined as well.
Meanwhile, Forza continues to decline and sell a fraction of GT. GTS isn't some universally hated game. For racing fans its the best racing game on consoles and DLC content should pad put the content. GTS is simply disliked for its change in direction, not because it was executed badly.
Beside Forza Motorsport 1 and Forza Motorsport 7, because the game just launched, most likely no Forza Game sold below 2.5 million units.
Your math does not work out.
Forza games, just like Gran Turismo also have huge legs thanks to bundles, pricecuts and cross game promotions.
Games don't stop selling just because publisher do not announce or update sales figures after a particular milestone is reached, like 1 million in the first few months.
If that would be the case. GT6 would've also sold just 2 or 3 million maximum.
GT is bigger than Forza, but not as much as it used to be. Sony and Polyhony Digital need to handle the franchise correctly, otherwise this could even change in the near future. Especially with the Forza presence on PC now.
