"Gran Turismo does not move the genre foreward, Forza does."

well lets make things perfectly clear right now.

if a psp gt game can have more cars than a full on HD game (and i know that number of cars isn't the only measure of a great racing game), it speaks volumes about the attitude of a developer. basically, polyphony digital are perfectionists and they'll put in whatever they can fit. turn 10 will do what is expected of them and no more.

again, if a psp gt game can have more content than a full console game, imagine what the console gt game can contain. can microsoft really say all this nonsense with a straight face, when they're actually being one-upped by a handheld game?

the reality of the comparison between forza and gt is thus:

forza = casual's racing game.
gran turismo = enthusiast's driving simulator.

That argument is completely nonsensical. Forza 3 is not a "casual racing game" it is a racing simulator. What are you talking about. Explain yourself. How is Forza 3 "casual"?

It's incredibly casual. Tons of people who otherwise don't give a damn about gaming buy Forza/GT simply because it has so many cars in it, i.e., ties in to a real-world passion of many teenaged/young guys.
