Sales and following are essentially the same, lol. What about critical acclaim? Surely as a gamer quality should matter? Why did you neglect that? Huh? 

Graphics (GT7)???? wow. Were gonna see Forza 6 in all likelihood before GT7. In terms of the now, 2013, the generatonal gap will ensure that Forza is the premiere simulator for the foreseable future. 

 

Critical acclaim means nothing in the end. Forza scored better with the critics because its more "game" like than sim. It’s as simple as that. IF you don’t understand racing or how to drive a car, GT is going to be a strain. Forza employs tricks like wider track and Auto steering that never turns off. Making the reviews feel better than they really are.

You'll only see Forza 6 before gt7 because it's turned in to a yearly release for MS. It’s nothing but another way to milk their customers. Sims games aren’t needed every year. There is very little can be done to advance a sim in a year. 

Even with the Generation gap Forza will never be the premier simulator (it’s not a sim just so you know). People will still be going back to GT for that, Pro drivers will train on it and pro drivers will be made from it. This is what a "premiere simulator does and what Froza doesn’t.

 

You can turn off auto steering last I checked. I see nothing wrong with making a sim more fun, but I digress. Forza is a 2 year cycle. Horizon isn't mainline. Don't say its yearly.

Forza is a sim, but I guess it will always be debatable. Saying critical acclaim means nothing as a gamer is a very weird thing to say. Sure GT has the sales, but Forza has the quality nailed every time, and the 2 year dev cycles still earn 90+ metas because they do actually have enough improvements to warrant consistent quality. And Turn 10 has a huge employee base, PD is relatively small. Thats why the release gap is so one-sided.

But despite all this, every Forza makes a solid profit before bundles, proving that this system is not only good for business, but the fans are rewarded. It would suck for me to start and graduate college without playing the next entry in my favourite sim. But I guess GT fans don't mind the wait.

Forza is the premiere simulator in quality, GT is the premiere simulator in sales. And now one will reap the next gen benefits and the other will remain in the generational dust so-to-speak. Sorry to be so confrontational, but a GT fan coming into a Forza reveal thread and saying sales > quality with double releases....I won't stand for that.
