Forza Motorsport 3 owners will be pleased with the news that the game has now surpassed the threshold of 2 million units sold and sales are continuing to grow. The news comes hot on the heels of the news from Polyphony Digital that Gran Turismo has sold over 55 million units across the entire franchise. The sales numbers for Forza 3 are quite impressive when you consider that the game was able to sell over 1 million units in the first month alone.

To celebrate the 2 million-sold milestone, Turn 10 studios is releasing the first track download for Forza 3. The Nurburgring Gran Prix Circuit Track Pack was released for download starting yesterday and will go for 400 Microsoft points. The Nurburgring Track Pack will feature both the long and short versions of the track and an ability to obtain speeds of 200 miles per hour with the right car.

The popularity of Forza 3 continues to grow, and so does owner satisfaction with the title. Turn 10 has done an excellent job of releasing additional content, which has come mostly in car packs to this point; but with the release of this first track pack, we suspect that the company has more track packs in the works.

If the game continues to sell and maintain momentum, sources tell us that Turn 10 will continue to crank out additional content for Forza 3. While neither Microsoft nor Turn 10 studios have reported actual sales numbers on how well the additional content has sold for Forza 3, from the whispers that we hear the content has sold much better than expected, with the Forza 3 community supporting each and every DLC release so far. This provides more encouragement for Turn 10 to crank out even more. For our two cents worth, we have enough cars, but we would like to see some additional tracks released.
