Why do people compare Forza 3 to GT5 graphics?

i feel GT5 is going to be the bigger and better game and thats what im going to buy.
BUT
one thing people need to remember is that Forza 2 has been in development for 2 years while GT5 has been in development for like 5

The PS3 wasn't even out five years ago. Not even three. How could be in development for FIVE?

You can't go by when the console launched. How did you expect launch titles to be made if they weren't in development prior to the release of the console?

Development is done on PC anyway, plus there is plenty of work to be done prior to actually starting the programming.

Okay, it can be in development pre-launch, but five years is way too long of a development time. Honestly, no game should take five years unless it takes 500 hours to complete.

And I doubt that it was in development for two years before the PS3.
