Metacritic paints a CLEAR winner every time both IPs release. Sure Forza 5 is what it is but that can be attributed to it being a rushed launch title. Otherwise the example holds true.
A FPS gamer will never feel the guns they play in real life. A Sim fan has probably never test driven the cars they drive in-game. We essentially "take their word for it" that the object behaves the way it does.
One sells based on its name...its brand, based on its peak years. The other has more of a cult following, but has quality on its side (see metacritic).

Lol! Metacritic! Ha ha.. good one... expected.

Predictable, but doesn't mean it is invalidated. It is a barometer of critical acclaim, something tangible. Not perfect, but the best we have to use in such debates.
That was off topic, but I hope this continues to underperform relative to GT5. Not because I relish its failure or anything, but that it means the next generation will be more of a fresh slate for all. It would be nice for games like GT and COD to sell based on their own merits, not because of its name.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
