It takes a bit more then a vague allusion to something intriguing to stoke the fires of interest. This sounds like a all to typical place holder commentary. For we have absolutely nothing to really talk about, but stay tuned were bound to say something. That said the commentary about the GT series in this thread is actually worth talking about. I for one think too many on these forums put too much stock in the GT series.
It might sell well, but is it really a system seller anymore. There was a argument to be made at the start of the past generation, but that argument doesn't hold much weight anymore. Microsoft has done a outstanding job of nullifying that genre advantage with Turn 10, and their Forza series. Tactically speaking Microsoft probably has the edge now, because their studio is obviously far more efficient.
Their product isn't just comparable it arrives on a more consistent basis, and that means purely as a matter of deductive reasoning that their product is going to evolve faster. This is actually the best argument for the next GT game to be on the PS4 rather then the PS3, because while it probably isn't a system seller anymore. It is something that still fills a role in the lineup. While its being there might not sell the console its absence would be noted, and checked off as a decided negative. Seeing as Microsoft's next console will probably launch with a Forza.
Sony can't really afford to wait three or four years to get a GT onto the PS4. Doing that is like giving Microsoft a free boost.
