Lol at the 5 yrs development talk.

When did GT4 release?
Early 2005 - Did you really think they STARTED the development right after GT4 came out?

WHAT? Really? Starting the development for almost 2 years before the PS3 came out?

And look what have they released since GT4?
Tourist Trophy - One of the best Moto racing games out there.
GTHD - For free
GT5:P - Demo of GT5 with more content than most other racers.
GT PSP (soon) - Full scale GT game with 800 cars and 35 tracks.

Just because the release interval is around 5 years, it doesn't mean they've been developing it for 5 years.

Why Forza was able to release so much faster?
- The Xbox had a year head start.
- Don't need to build the game engine from the ground up for Forza 3.

The KZ devs were making KZ2 before the PS3 came out to the public. All companies whom Sony own have access to the type of hardware that the company will be using before the development starts. Really...think about how long these companies knew. Give me a break. Forza 3 releases faster because the devs create the games at 2 year intervals consistantly while delivering quality. Forza 3 is a whole new game on a whole new engine, which is far beyond past efforts.

Gran Turismo-1997

Gran Turismo 2-1999 (2 years)

Gran Turismo 3-2001 (2 years between two different systems, so your theory is bullshit. Polyphony had access to the PS2 far before it came out in 2000)

Gran Turismo 4-2005 (4 years in between while on the same console. By 2005 Sony had released the specs of the PS3 to the world, and devs were hard at work making titles for the PS3 already)

Gran Turismo 5-TBA 2009-2010 (Release date of the long awaited franchise)

....Don't give me the Xbox 360 had a year head start bullshit, because the Forza franchise hasn't yet broken the 2 year intervals.
