That is one of several reasons, yes. It just would take an enormous amount of time. Since I am not a hardcore racing fan, I will lose interest after 40-50 hours of gaming, regardless how good the game is. Since I will probably only beat 10-20 % of the game within that time, It just wouldn't be worth it. I bought GT 1-3 so far and left out GT4 because it was already too big for me. Now that i have a 40 hours work I just don't have the time to excessively play a racing game for months. It would be better for me to split those 200 hours into some coop-games with my wife, some RPGs, where she will sit beside me and watch the story; and maybe 1-2 Action/Adventures. It might sound odd, but having so much content/timesinks can be a bad thing for some people. In my opinion burnout took the right step. I got the Platinum just when it began to get boring. So I stopped playing at the right time. Street Fighter 4/ GTA 4/Resistance 2 kept me playing for the platinum over that saturation point and left a bad taste in the end. I doubt that I will buy another beat'em up/Rockstar game/Ego-Shooter this generation. Especially after that bad joke of Rockstar with the platinum trophy text. I am not a big fan of "Western Games" either. GT5 will surely be a brilliant game... but getting the Platinum is part of the game for me (and clearly not for the bragging rights, I somehow always wanted to beat all my games, even before trophies were available). Selling a game with a platinum that is almost unattainable for the average gamer is like selling a game that is not beatable. It just feels wrong for me, but that is only my personal opinion. I therefore hope that Metal Gear Solid 4 will not get a trophy patch... that Platinum would certainly be really hard, too.

you do know that you can beat the game by just completing all the careers it doesnt have anything to do with platinums.
Being in 3rd place never felt so good
