Thats my point , it took them 3 years to make GT6 and the improvements weren't significant. So I guess the three years they spent, a lot of time was spent on upgrading the standard cars. Thats my point.  Had they removed the standard cars from GT6, fixed the other problems (sound) and released earlier (2013) the game not only would've sold more it also would have gotten more praise and have a higher metacritic rating than it currently has (81).

Now we are getting GT7 on next gen which again will take them a while to learn a new console like GT5. In addition, most of their time is gonna be spent upgrading the PS2 level cars to a acceptable level with slight improvements like GT6. And this will take them atleast 3years.

Still does not prove your original claim that "people don't care about the number of cars". GT7 may get a lot of flak from consumers for drastically reducing the number of cars. Also, the PS4 is a much easier platform to develop for, so PD will have a much less steep learning curve and thus, spend less time improving the quality of the standard cars. That said, I don't support this practice. However, if PD does, for instance, increase the number of premium cars (which was already quite large) while they increase the quality of the standards, then that will be more acceptable.

GT6 had more cars than GT5 and a much bigger install base yet it hasn't sold as well.  As, for the PS4 launch canniblizng the sales of Gran Turismo, I disagree.  There was no next gen racer for the PS4 that people bought instead of GT6. If people wanted GT6 they would've bought it.
