To the people saying it was a mistake to put on Ps4: well, it's a bit more complicated than that. There were two options for PD: GT6 on Ps3 or Ps4. Pros and Cons to each side.

On Ps3 you get a huge install base of 80+ million as well as familar hardware to max out to your ability (already have experience on Ps3 with GT5). A negative to that is when GT6 comes out on Ps3 it'll be on last gen hardware, possibly cutting off the legs. 

On Ps4 you get to support a brand new next gen system with a great launch window title. However the install base will no doubt be much less therefore limiting the sales. Plus there are already a ton of games, both 1st and third party, coming to Ps4. In my opinion, it'd be crowded.

The decision was made by PD for PD. In the end it benefits PD the most, being as the large install base increases the sales the most. Also it's easier most likely to develop on something you already made games for. I'd prefer it to be on Ps4 however. My selfish Sony fanboyism inside me wants the new console to distance itself from XOne.

 

Only time will tell if it is the right decision :)
