By the way I don't expect people to read the whole thing as I personally skim unless it is something I am really interested in.

How many racing games have you bought recently? From my friends and I it has been ages since we purchased one though almost everyone is getting Mario Kart. Mario Kart alone is not an indicator the genre is in good shape. Only reason need for speed sells so well is because it is a known franchise though doesn't mean the game has gotten any better or done anything new. If they keep this up it will just become the next TOny Hawk meaning sales will just eventually suck and some other racing game similar to the old burnout take a risk on something new to take over. Basically this generation hasn't brought us anything in terms of racing that hasn't been done before besides the new coat of paint. Guess I am expecting more after playing racing games for so long.
