On the topic of the game's sales numbers, am I the only one who isn't impressed that given the entire worldwide install base of the Xbox 360, they've only sold a million copies? With around 14 million Xbox 360s in America alone, I'm surprised the game hasn't sold at least a million here in the U.S. Of course, the holiday season could see a lot of copies sold. It will be very interesting to see how the Forza 3 sales numbers stack up against those of Gran Turismo 5 when it comes out, especially since the Xbox 360 has the bigger install base.
