You USE GT to make the install base higher.  Over time as more people buy the system they can still buy GT6.  They will move faster if the biggest Sony franchise is on PS4 instead of 3.

 


This is wishful thinking and you'll potentially ruin GT's potential. If there are only a few million PS4s in circulation after a couple of years, the game is already old. Do you really think that people buy consoles based on old games? And in that stint, the price of the game would go down to $30, and it will never reach the GT sales standard.

What you need to understand is that the PS4 isn't going to sell 20 million on its first year and not every owner will buy GT. If you sell it to a higher install base, your chances of sales are much higher.

GT3 came out a year into PS2 and sold the most in the series.  Even without bundling it would've been a huge success.
Care to explain that?  How about Resistance:FoM?  It was a fairly mediocre shooter in my mind yet it sold 4m after being a launch title.
