Atleast Sony does something new every once in a while. Should we mention the 40 qazillion mario spinoffs?

 

Nintnedo games are still pretty much exactly the same as they were in the N64 days. Splatoon is seriously there first original game in ages. Nintendo makes great games but sooner or later they have got to do something different.

New IPs:

N64: Smash Bros., Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, 1080 Snowboarding, Cruis'n USA, Custom Robo, Sin & Punishment, etc.

GCN: Pikmin, Animal Crossing (worldwide), Geist, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Battalion Wars, Chibi-robo!, Baten Kaitos, Cubivore, Doshin the Giant, Odama, Luigi's Mansion, etc.

GB/GBA: Pokemon, Golden Sun, Advance Wars, WarioWare Inc., Fire Emblem (worldwide), Tales of Phantasia, etc.

Wii: The Wii series, Endless Ocean, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Excite Truck, FlingSmash, etc.

DS: Nintendogs, Trauma Center, Brain Age, Big Brain Academy, Professor Layton, Flash Focus, Rhythm Heaven, Personal Trainer, Style Savy, Art Academy, Fossil Fighters, The Legendary Starfy, Picross, Children of Mana, Master of Illusion, etc.

Wii U: Wonderful 101, Captain Toad, Devil's Third, Splatoon, Sing Party, etc. (so far)

3DS: Pushmo, Tomodachi Life, Steel Diver, Bravely Default, Fantasy Life, Spirit Camera, Rusty's Real Deal Baseball,etc. (so far)

Splatoon is hardly their "first original game in ages." At least do some research before making a comment like this.

There were more exclusive new IPs on the PS3 than the Wii U, 3DS, and Wii put together XD. Pretty funny you pad your list with games like "Brain Age and Art Academy" XD

They could release a GT7 Prologue next Xmas AT LATEST, then, not too many years later, possibly for BF or Xmas 2016, the full GT7, then, later in PS4 life, GT8.
After all, PS1 and 2 both had two major GT releases, odd-numbered versions have always been the best sellers, but also even ones are good sellers too usually, Sony botched GT6 last gen because all the launches were made too late and PS3 sales numbers up until now have been considerably lower than PS1 and 2, surely not helping GT.
So the real mistake would be to release GT7 too late, as it would sell well anyway, but it would heavily damage GT8 sales, it will be better to sacrifice GT7 Prologue sales, if that game will even exist, to have stronger sales for both GT7 and GT8.

Sony just need to continue to release GT6 remastered version on PS4 soon. not sure if there are ton of development cost/time involve though. but if they are projecting GT7 early next year. then no need for GT6 on PS4.

GT7 needs motorcycles like Tourist Trophy.

It will become the definitive driving simulator.


Well that's not going to happen since Tourist Trophy underperformed sales wise.  Since Burout is dead (Criterion Games really doesn't exist anymore and EA would rather make more Need for Speed games in order to hold on to their license with Porsche) and PGR is dead (Horizon pretty much took its spot) the only chance for a game with both motorcyles and cars this generation on consoles is another Midnight Club game which will probably happen but not anytime soon since next year Rockstar has Red Dead 2 and the year after that its probably GTA 6.
