My sig merely shows that in 2012, as well as the years 2007, 2009, and 2011, Forza is the higher selling IP between the two. I know, unthinkable stuff ;)

This has nothing to do with my sig, I was just addressing your compulsive need to make PS3 fans out to be angels.

You really are reaching with this. One-on-one, released on the same day, no Forza game would outsell GT. Ever. Why you choose to spin data the way you do is anyone's guess, but I would advise acceptance in this. 

Then id have to settle for the quality argument. But Ip sales are frankly underated. I think its important. One on one is just describing one moment essentially. IP generation sales gives the wide picture. Thats me anyway.

The "wide picture" reveals that Forza had more iterations this gen, didn't really slice into GT's market much (if at all), and no single title can outsell a Gran Turismo. Plus, even with the added variables, the numbers are close between the IPs. What does that tell us - GT is the bigger franchise by a comfortable margin. No matter how the data is manipulated.

Between 360 and PS3, Forza allready has more gen sales. PSP GT makes the lead only 1.5 million in GTs favor. Id say GT is a bigger fracnhsie by a much smaller margin then people think. Not releasing another full game this gen costed them.
