GT6's low sales proved people don't care about the number of cars. Reduce the amount of cars, use that extra time to polish up the premium cars, improve the sound and add some new innovations and features. Most importantly release the game by 2015.

I'd rather have less cars and release earlier than having to wait a year or two because they need to have 1500 cars in the game. GT5 and GT6 both shared this problem.

At this point I am more excited for Driveclub and Forza Horizon 2 than GT7.


The game won't be delayed because of the standard cars, and to say by two years you are pushing a little to far... and If GT6 haven't sold because there is too much standard cars and the sound isn't good what is the excuse for FM1 to 5 and passing to FH?

And being more excited by Driveclub and FH than a GT you didn't even saw maybe shows you aren't the target of the game or that you are just bashing the game needlesly?


All the Forza's have sold well and considering there is a new Forza every year it understandable that people won't buy every Forza. Also, FH was a game that catered to a different audience. In addition, the sim racing genre isn't as popular in the US.

Considering Gran Turismo was once as big as Halo and Mario and Forza was a new IP that was unknown its done pretty well. Hell if you combine all the sales of the Forza titles on 360  and F5 its number will be very close to  GT5 + GT6 or even surpass it. It was known as the GT killer like Killzone was the Halo killer and it lived up to its billing.

GT6 proved they need to adapt and try to lure in more than just the hardcore sim racers. Its a dying genre and many people don't play as many sim racers as they used too. Continuing to stick to a business model based on the PS2 generation isn't going to work in 2014.

I'm basing because like the rest of the Japanese gaming industry Polyphony could head down the same road if it doesn't innovate and try to cater to a larger audience.

Just 5 years ago you would get mocked for even talking about Forza in the same sentence as Gran Turismo and the game and sales proved it. Now its a lot closer and if they don't adapt they will get past by.
