Forza was designed to be the Xbox competitor for Gran Turismo. The original Forza had to compete with the Gran Turismo franchise on the strong Playstation 2 platform and still managed to sell an impressive 1 million copies.
However, the Xbox 360 is currently in a stronger position against the PS3 (with Gran Turismo 5) than the original Xbox was against the PS2 (with Gran Turismo 4) when the original Forza was released. Many gamers looking for a racing simulation for a current generation console will look to get Forza 2. This should result in Forza 2 selling more than its predecessor.
