I said this before and I'll say it again. It was smart to release it for PS3. New Ip's are better for the beginning of the gen. PS3 has a bigger install base so it makes sense.

It is only smart if all Sony wants is for GT6 to sell as many copies as possible. But this damages DriveClub sales, and in turn PS4 sales. This should have been out late last year, or it should have been a Vita game.

Disagree.  PS4 does not have backwards compatability so people who buy PS4 will be buying Driveclub over GT6 if they want Driveclub.

The big thing that people need to realize is that PS4/NeXbox will be selling around 1-3 million units this holiday.  The first holiday for a console is always the weakest.  my opinion is that the 3rd year is the best year to release big franchises as that is usually when a console starts to gain a big amount of traction.
