Mate, do you have any evidence for this stuff or are you spouting off and running since you got proved wrong last time? Stop saying 'should be noted' and actually reference your claims correctly.
BFII wasn't bundled anywhere near as heavily as you're pretending. Just seen your post history too, seems to be a trend of passing opinion as fact so I'm not surprised you won't be able to back up all your points INCLUDING Forza 7 supposedly being ~£8
@Pennzoil23 - There's nothing credible about VGChartz, unfortunately.

I can't decide PD is happy or worried by these sales.

I can't believe dismal destiny 2 has gone from 37 to 31 in the charts are people really that desperate to play fps games ?

So, I'll ask again. Do you have any concrete sources that support what you're saying or are you making an estimated guess based on those numbers?
Also, you've still not provided proof that FM7 was anywhere near as cheap as you pretended it was.

Prove that Forza a wasn't on sale then. Your articles are trash and you try to paint the narrative that FH3 is the bestest selling racer thus gen. It isn't that would be GT Sport. Now I get why you got your panties all in a bunch just realized you're the one writing these inaccurate articles

I literally provided a hyperlink in my first message that showed Forza on sale. I did not claim Forza 7 wasn't on sale. I was making clear it was not as cheap as you pretended and subsequently can't support. It's really that simple.
You claim I'm inaccurate when the only person who has stated any inaccuracies is you, poor soul. Shame you've resorted to personal attacks over backing up your points.

That's not how proof works — absence isn't proof, existence is.
@Brend hasn't suggested that (source: editing every one of his articles). What he has commented on is the staying power of FH3 in terms of the UK sales charts — something which the numbers reflect, so I really don't understand what your issue is.
Do you have any actual facts for this latest claim? We'd love to have an article about it if so — we already had one about GT Sport being the best-selling racing game in the UK during 2017. Note that that would exclude the first three month's worth of FH3's sales, making its position all the more impressive (as the only 2016 launch in the top half of the list). Considering most games typically accrue the majority of their sales in that time frame, and that we haven't seen official sales figures from T10 nor PD, we'd love to hear how you know.

Hopefully the worse sales won't affect the monthly updates...

Need For Speed Payback ...According to a report from gamesindustry.biz Gran Turismo Sport was the best selling racing game of 2017 in the UK, followed by Mario Kart 8: Deluxe and Forza Horizon 3.
GTS was also the second best exclusive title sold in the UK in 2017, only surpassed by Crash Bandicoot Remaster

Pretty sure there's going to be an article soon but Burnout Paradise has managed to reach the top of the UK sales chart! Great achievement for what is essentially a 10 year old game. 👍

Here's a surprise:
http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110015
FM7 is sitting in fourth in the UK last week, with GT Sport at 14th. Both moved up five spots from their previous positions.
However, it doesn't quite mean they're selling like hotcakes. Far Cry 5 retained its top spot, but sources say it sold something like 60% less in its second week than its first. That means the exact numbers for this most recent chart are probably all quite low. Nonetheless, it's good to see the racing games have some legs to them. 👍
