Was never a big fan of the NASCAR events, but Gran Turismo has always been about offering a diverse range of cars, so additionl

I'm actually tempted to wait until the Friday afternoon before I look at any of the info on the game. I've got an exam on the Friday, so I should probably stay away from GTPlanet for a while.... Or maybe I should just leave it open in a tab.... Or maybe I should keep it open on my phone....

WHy does the Forza video say it's the best selling racing franchise? or is that the infamous MS PR doing work?

The press release for the NASCAR pack mentions that it's the best selling racing franchise for the current generation. So, yeah it's one of those "read the fine print" situations.

If you take this and that and some other things into account - its the best selling racing game Edit: Treed

...Perhaps infamous is a wrong word - how about crafty?
It's true Forza franchise is the bestest selling console racing game this generation. Yep, "fine prints" hard at work here.

That makes sense
You must have not seen the PR statements they send out when they lose a month in NPD. Microsoft's PR is gold.

I can't believe I have to say this: do not discuss illegal activities here, or any other part of GTPlanet (PM's included).
It's pretty simple, really: Forza is the best-selling realistic driving game franchise this console generation. With three titles under its belt, that isn't surprising!
Other than people having favourites, I don't see why MS' PR folks are singled out. It's their job to present stats in the best way possible: one can't be a good marketer otherwise. It's no different than whoever coined the terms "Standard" and "Premium" when it meant "last-gen" and "this-gen".

Honestly, no. I don't particularly concern myself with any of that as I have no mutual investment in how many units a product has or hasn't moved, or what a company does to spin things to their benefit. It's no different than what any other company does, Sony, PD and Gran Turismo included.

Don't get me wrong they're doing their job impressively well. I was wondering what the fine print is in that case.

Well the fine print is always the whole truth; ergo, the fine print.

Changing the topic slightly but did we ever get the full version of this song?
I know they've used it in the VGT GT6 video but don't think it was in the game

Probably not, if it's referencing this generation. There's NFS, DriveClub, and PCARS. That's about it.

A bestseller is usually a product that is on a list of top-selling products. It doesn't have to be #1 in the list, just being included is typically enough to call it a bestseller. So there can be several best selling video game franchises, not just one at the time.
