Still think it was a mistake to put this on PS3, Evolutio Studio's game should have been on PS3 and GT on PS4.


It's not a mistake. The PS3 has tens of millions of users, and a franchise like Gran Turismo is too big to become a launch title. It'll sell faster than PS4s will move off the shelves. This is the same reason why Rockstar chose to put GTA5 on the current gen. Massive franchises (potential 10 million and above sellers) can't be launch titles.

Well it would not have been a launch game, being on the PS4 it would have taken longer to make and would be coming out next year, which is perfect since Halo 5 is coming out next year and the only franshise that Sony has that can compete with Halo is GT.


Even if it were to come out next year, the install base wouldn't be big enough. You can't compare the existing PS3 users with PS4 users after a year. Only a small percentage would have adopted the new console by then.

Moreover, if Sony delays GT6, it would cost them millions of dollars in additional development costs for a new console, especially since Yamauchi is so obsessed with maximizing his games for the hardware.

A racing game doesn't compete with a shooter. Just because they're both big franchises doesn't mean that they're in competition.
