This isn't about driving sims/racing sims, it's about japanese developers. Kazunori Yamauchi accounts for a great deal of sales among said developers over the last 10 years. Additionally, that's a rather odd statement, given Driveclub is outselling FH2 (On two platforms, no less), Burnout hasn't done anything in a few years (and it's lifetime sales aren't even above 20m for the franchise), and Need for Speeds numbers have done nothing but decline since Underground in 2003 (Gran Turismo still avgs much higher sales per game, than Need for Speed).
As far as Mario Kart, really want to bring that up? Ok, let's take a look at those numbers, shall we? Firsly, throw out 92 and 96, since they're before Gran Turismo was even created. And for someone so concerned about 'sales drops', the decline in Mario Kart sales from the Wii to Wii U, is far, far, far more dramatic than the drop in sales from GT5 to GT6. I mean, on the Wii it sold ~35m, on the Wii U ~4m. Wouldn't that suggest that the world is in fact more sick of Mario Kart than...well, any other game listed?
Either way, the only dev I cared about is gone, so the rest is irrelevant (To me).
