.9 is not a lot?

In the bigger picture it's huge. .9 is the difference between a 90 and a 81, a 81 and a 72, a 72 anda 63 ...

I guess the moral of the story is to charge an appropriate amount of money for products, or just offer more features

The moral of the story is Sony are getting a boat load of cash for releasing a beefed up prologue while the main game is developed. 

I dony kno much about gt and this gt sport but is there any proof of thia game not costing much as your making seem to be? I thought this game been in development for awhile just based on gt sport staying on cong charts for the longest

 

Edit: how are thet making a boat load of cash, this game isnt selling too hot (for gt standards)

Again im askin as i dont kno much (where the hell is Gribble)

and i'm sure that makes you very happy



I love how GTSport has gone from a "beefed up" prologue to a "glorified" prologue, a "glorified" prologue again, and now it's back to being a "beefed up" prologue.
Which one is it?

It's certainly priced like a beefed up prologue, but it seems to be performing like a glorified one.

It's going to sell no less then 3m. That's at least $120m in revenue brought it. 

 

All content released in this (cars and tracks)  will be released in GT7 and many more imo.  so they basically stopped halfway through development and released a prologue.  It's a great way to fund the main game when it takes so long to develop.  

 

That's my opinion anyway. Time will tell I'd GT7 is real or not.  See you all in 1-3 years to find out.  

 

@other guy: 

I mean the same thing by beefed up and glorified.  Basically it's a prologue but with A Bit Extra So They Can Charge $60 Instead Of $40.

 

BTW Phones Gone Crazy .  excuse the caps. abtiit

Yep, and that is why Switch is on the death bed.

Aren't you the same person who was butthurted over that words? ROFL

Not butthurt about a word. But exposing what the hidden meaning was, and people saying it wasn't but then using it the same way they said they weren't. Now if you can't see the joke in the very small difference calling it a killing then you need to update your data.

So PS4 took back number 1?

Yup. PS4 is killing it

Switch being on its death bed... I'm pretty sure he's joking

 

OT:

GTS could be better but at least it boosted PS4 sales by 37.75%.

Can't wait to see Switch numbers next week. They'll be big

Yep. Neither is Switch dying or is the small lead PS4 got anything significant. But since now that is the right way to use killing it, so be it.

Next week PS4 will probably crawl back to it's regular number so the Switch will be quite ahead.

Nope, no evidence of GTS being a prologue to anything.

The most we know is that Kaz said we could consider this as a GT7 because of the amount of content and that they will release a lot of DLCs and several for free.

What may happen is if GTS fails to sell a lot or if the userbase is split because of the online focus they go and make a GT7 for the offline crowd. Considering they would have all the car and track assets of GT5-6 and Sport they could easily hire Sumo Digital or increase the studio and have a secondary team making that content enter GT7 that would follow more of the older titles arrangement.

^ obviously a PR guy is going to make sport sound as appealing as possible. We will get a GT7 with an amount of tracks and cars as a regular mainline entry has.

Anyway everything I claim about there going to be a GT7 is my opinion. I do not need facts to form this opinion. However I will be either proven right or proven wrong in the next few years.

Shocking that with the amount of new releases for PS4 this week especially a big first party one, it only got less than 200 units more than the Switch which had practically no new releases this week (NBA 2K already released on eshop so it's not new).

Quality > Quantity



Pocky Lover Boy!

Honestly, all those PS4 software sales are disappointing. Especially GTS and Psycho Break 2.

Since this is the first Gran Turismo on the console, think this will hurt Gran Turismo Next or can they recover from this, assuming it even comes out this generation. Oh god, that just crossed my mind, the development time with the company it might be the only Gran Turismo on exclusively on the PS4.

let's hope switch stock is low because of next week.



Switch!!!
