Gran Turismo bores me to tears. I could have more fun in my REAL car on the highway. The only time Gran Turismo interests me is when it's being turned off. Mario Kart, on the other hand, is actually a lot of fun, possibly one of the most effortlessly fun games ever created.

So I really hope it doesn't----though I very much doubt it will. A lot of GT's US sales came from teen-aged guys who bought the game just cause they love getting all the diffent models of car. Most of those same guys have moved from PS2 to Xbob 360; in that crowd, it's simply the "next console." I'm gauging this on quite a lot of people I know firsthand or through friends.


Nintendo's name however, has grown along with the Wii's. Mario is synonymous with Nintendo.

So, I think we'll see a much lower attach rate for GT than last gen, while Mario Kart's will be higher.

So, basically, Mario Kart will very easily outsell GT.


Ah yes, real driving. There is an excellent and fun drive I do often. its the A45 in Germany, a lot of curves and up and down. When you do that at 180 kmh (120 mph I think), its real fun and beats any driving game. then you get on the A5 towards Frankfurt and accelerate to 210 kmh (about 140 mph I think) rather straight highway. real driving beats them all.
