Its not a flop and 2nd iterations of games on a platform typically do worse. Look at Gow 3 and Ascension, gow 1 and 2. GT 3 and 4. Mario Galaxy 1/2. I think GT is more prone to this problem because everyone I know that buys GT gets the first iteration cause of hype, dislikes it because its too realistic, and skips the next. They will buy GT7 though, forgetting that they dont like the genre. Just like me and the McRib every few years.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
