I'd say Mario Kart Wii >>> both of them.

It's not a racing sim. It is fun tho...

But it says racing game not racing sim in the title and your original post never mentioned "racing sim" either. I don't see why MK Wii can't be definitive racing game of this gen.

because mario kart wii has major flaws. The game plays itself, the winner appears to be randomly generated, the controls are wonky, WM+ might fix this, the tracks are dull, the variation is unimaginative and it does nothing to be a definitive racing game. It is the Definitive party racing game though. However, Mod Nation Racers seems to of done everything mario kart wii did, better, and with more content..

No, not really, not at all, subjective (and I'd say the colourful and varied tracks of MK Wii >>> all the realistic crap Forza and GT have), and again, subjective.

How about this:  it's the definitive racing game because it's accessible enough to reach an extremely broad range of players, deep enough to satisfy core fans, and ultimately satisfying enough to probably sell more than both Forza 3 and GT5 combined.
