GT is definitely not the best racing sim, best "racing sim" on sony consoles, but there are many games that are better sims on the consoles than GT games - Richard Burns Rally and Race Pro are the best examples. if we start compare GT to pc games it will get really bad cause GT is basically arcade game just like Colin Mcrae Rally, Grid, PGR or Dirt - they maybe don't have physics and car handling just like Outrun or NFS games, but they don't have physics and car handling of a racing sims either. those games are between arcades and sims - they're sim-enough to give you some challenge and arcade-enough so everyone can play them from the start.

sorry, but the fact that first two Halo games were able to sell so well on so unpopular platform like xbox(Halo 3 thanks to ODST will sell probably another 2-3mln LT) and the fact that Halo is so well-known around the world. GT games are well known among gamers, but Halo is well known among poeple - that's the difference and that's the fact.
GT is Guitar Hero/RackBand for gamers, Halo is Guitar Hero/RockBand for everyone. i know many people that bought 360 with Halo 3 to play with their friends from college/old days around the world to play and communicate with each other from time to time and have fun cause it's better than meeting once every 5-10 years on stiff reunion parties.
