[Rumor] DriveClub Sold 1 Million Units In First Week, Outsold Forza Horizon 2 By 2:1

Why is it sad? DriveClub is actually a pretty good game even without its only features.
Freudian slip?
The thirst for corridor racing is real! REAL I tell ya.
Can we get a pie chart please?
Only a Polygon chart can tell us!
The site is banned for a reason. Just look at this nonsensical rambling, for instance:
It reads like a teen's stream of consciousness. Oh, and also relevant:

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Its unpolished game with way less content than the competition. (I don't own it, reading through impression from people on GAF and reviews).
Digital is way cheaper than retail in mainland EU, if you're a PS+ member.
Don't worry, the sales will be patched in at a later date.
It's a polished game with great core racing gameplay and brilliant visuals that focuses on less is more. The server situation sucks though, but that doesnt change the fact that it's a fantastic arcady racer.
And the servers are on FIRE.
Even if there was a reliable source for this - why does it matter? The install bases already have a such large margin between them that any such comparison isn't a reflection of the games themselves on an even playing field. Not to mention the different audiences there may be on each system. It feels like click bait or just another reasons for a gloating about x platform better than y to massage the ego of those who put so much stock into it. Meaningless to me

Driveclub selling 1 million itself isn't surprising, racing is huge in europe. All Sony WWS games broke +1 million units (even Knack).
Problem is insiderp is pulling numbers from their ass.
Online is broken and many people from Europe would have known that due to it being released in N.A first, yet they still bought it. Imagine if this was a MS, EA or Ubisoft game that released in such a poor way. Also the game seems low on content.
When racing game isn't all about racing game anymore, that would be the sad day for gaming.
it was outsold at retail by a highly anticipated licensed game, released across 5 platforms? Bomba.
Aliens is on 5 platforms.
The indivividual formats chart was actually:
1. FIFA 15 (360)
2. FIFA 15 (PS4)
3. DRIVECLUB (PS4)

Even if it was true it would just prove committed install bases which is generally good for a healthy console.
Fair enough but either way "a sad day for gaming" is a bit over the top imo

lol Insiderp
The digital breakdown could be pretty close though.
Haha what? Even in Australia it was way lower than most retail copies! Not sure where you are getting your information from, Insiderp by chance?

Doesn't sound too far fetched considering there are twice as many PS4's sold. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if it's true.

Europe's thirst for GT7 must be quenched with something, anything, DriveClub!

If everyone refunded, still 700k sales. Accord to drep.

I thought it was known insiderp was a fake site. Driveclub more than likely isn't even going to crack 500K first week.
