Since Forza is gonna have its own show on SPEEDtv, Forza stands to grab a whole lot more casuals this time around.  We'll see what this means for other series (GT and PGR specifically).

1 million sales for the original isn't that much.

I personally think it will sell around the same...they should have change the title and not have a "2" in it.

What's your point? Casuals watch it. It may not be that great of a channel (I only watch it for SuperBikes, motorcycles pwn all :lol: ) but a whole lot of casuals watch it. So much so, Microsoft was sponsoring NOPI Tunervision last time I checked with the XBOX 360 branding.

You seem like you know so I'll ask, how did the other series sell with their previous incarnations?

Casuals only watch Real World on MTV, it's a medical fact.

GT series has sold over 55 million worldwide and GT3 was the best selling game of last gen with 14.5 million sales.

PGR sells better than Forza, which each version in the series selling about 2 million.

The show will definitely help sales of Forza 2. Anyone who denies this is blowing smoke to hide their shame. It challenges the viewer of the program to play the game so he can be "better" than his favorite character. Its a brilliant marketing ploy. SPEED television shows some pretty cool old movies. Some are super cheesy but classic none the less and others are just pure classic (the getaway with steve mcqueen).

... Wow, you've totally missed the point. You try to end my thread with useless drivel. How about sharing a valid opinion on the subject.

My, point is that most casuals don't watch speedtv, yes there are a few and yes some might go out and get Forza 2, but I don't think it's gonna be that manny to make a big difference

You say MOST casuals, ie most non gamers that don't care about much cars (your MTV comment). I was talking about the group of non gamers who like cars, some enough to watch a channel that shows nothing but the stuff. There is no ownage to claim. You fail. This show will be another place to showcase the game to people who like cars. The other series won't have nearly as much air time and will only reach tv on commercials, game reviews, and other spots where it will only see less then 2 mins maximum. Forza has 30 mins of time to get in about 3-4 ads for the game itself, not to mention the show itself may be enough to spark interest.

Thought it was implicit. You know, game w/cars, channel w/cars, and a show w/cars that has the same name as a game...casuals that would watch the show..... Do you see where that is going? And what was the 'yet' for?

BTW that was not a stab at you.

Go read your posts again, you labled them as casuals.

I think that first time gamers are more likly to become casuals than anything else, that's all.

WTF? 1 million is great for a 1st game in the series. And Forza was the best racer last gen for consoles. Why would they change the name?
