As far as I can see both Pro and Elite units have a holiday bundle, so only the Arcade version doesn't have the games included. So why do you say it is only 1 SKU?
No they have hard data for that. The problem is the same with their normal number, the sample size and the potential bias against NPD data, but they know how money bundles are sold. If they wouldn't they wouldn't count those sales (as practiced that way before).
I say that VGC is just guessing and you respond by quoting VGC? That does nothing to address my concern. VGC is guessing about the percentage of sales that are Pro bundles and they're also guessing about how many of those are the newer bundles and not older ones.
You seriously think that Microsoft is producing 4 million holiday bundles in that single SKU?!? They have THREE SKUs and they've only sold about 14 million consoles of ALL SKUs so far...so no, there's no chance they have 4 million of the holiday Pro SKUs.
VGC is just counting a percentage of 360 hardware sales as Forza sales. I think this is highly suspect however, as not all Pro SKUs would have Forza (older stock for instance), but I doubt we'll ever get a press release fro the publisher to clarify sales.
@ixaarii, remember Forza 2 sales are picking up because it is bundled with the Xbox 360 Pro SKU now. Sales are not picking up because of specific interest in the game. These sales will only go on as long as the game remains bundled.
Now I myself am not a car game player.. but seems to me like this stock might be quite undervalued: I find it shocking that it's only 220 when right now, the week ending 24Nov it's third in the best seller list, and first among Xbox 360 titles with 221,826, putting it above even Mass Effect. Vgchartz lists it as 1.83 mil sold, but with such impressive sales seems to me like it's not stopping. It's not like Gran Turismo will be releasing for Xbox360 to cap it's sales with a competing title in the same genre.
Did anybody see VGC's American Chart for Week Ending 17th November 2007.forza's sales are starting to pick up again link.Im starting to feel this could be underpriced.
