Id say Gran Turismo. It sells a ton and one could argue the quality dip this gen to the sales it gets warrants such a nomination.

nah. the only thing that changed this gen with GT is that everytime it's mentioned someone brings up forza like it's the second coming of racing.

and it's gotten old frankly

Hey, everyone likes the underdog, especially when they get better reviews.

But in all seriousness, the metas of GT5:P (80), GT5 (84) and GT PSP (74) especially all are disproportionate to the sales it gets now.

Could the same thing not be said about Halo->2->3->Reach->4 decline? The sales stay steady or increase but the "quality dips"

True. An 87 is still better then a 84, but then youd tell me that is all 80-89 which I always go by. You got me. I make no excuses. I wish the GT people could own up but ok. Metas should have no impact on the enjoyment of the game (if its your favourite IP), whichever it is.

But then again, Halo has always been classified as "overrated", even when they were getting 90s. GT has never had negative criticism for its popularity, even with this generations offerings.
