kart isn't a GT.

putting it next to GT is crazy.

kart will sell tons, but somehow double it sales  it was after a good period of time i doubt it unless its bundled.

 You might want to check the sales of Mario Kart DS. Mario Kart is very much in the same league as Gran Turismo.

 

They are two completely different games catering to two completely different segments. Sales, yes they are in the same league. But to compair their sales is just this side of silly. Twisted Metal would be a better game to compair it to in the least. You know, maybe a racing game that uses weapons and power ups. Not a Racing SIMULATION compaired to a Party Racing/Weapons game.

On another note, I would think the market share for the party casual game would be a little biger then the hardcore Simulation, wouldnt you?

Gran Turismo .... hardcore .... simulation.......

I know Rolstoppable beat me to this, but there hasn't been a hardcore simulation of racing since Papyrus was sold to Sierra.  Papyrus = greatest racing software company ever (pre-sierra that is).

 Edit:  Damn, everyone and their Nintendog beat me to the "GT5 is not hardcore" punch.
