Double standard with Super Mario 3D World and GT6...

The more interesting question is. Which game will sell closer to its predecessor. Right now it seems 3DWorld will be quite close while GT6 will underperform by quite a noticeable margin.

seems obvious dont you think? What do you think 3DW would sell on the Wii if it were launched? A game launching on a console a couple of years after its prime vs a game launching on a console a couple of months before its prime...

It depends. GTA5 is selling better and it is a last-gen exclusive as well. There have been some excuses like the performance of CoD or AssCreed on last gen systems but these are cross-gen titles are also on next-gen systems, while the mentioned GTA5 so far is a last-gen exclusive, GT6 is even a system exclusive to PS3 and doesn´t have the same problem of other cross-gen titles on PS3. It really depends if the game is seen as a desirable new title or mearly a rehash.
