To Forza hardcore fans 5 might be redundant. But I remember (and still see) GT5 being on shelves with a $19.99 special edition, and I almost never see GT6 in the wild. And GT5 sold massively better than 6. Circumstances were a bit different with the timing, but it really depends on if MS still does any $19.99 software, I'm not even sure they do that any more.

EDIT : But yeah, if they just discontinue it or never discount it, then it's totally dead obviously. It's why I said 'if' they lower the price and keep it in print.

Forza 6 is a massive upgrade from Forza 5 though. Even rated higher. I don't see how this is the same as GT5 and GT6.

Ratings aside, GT5 and GT6 have their own strengths and weaknesses.
GT6 is a massive upgrade in tracks, premium cars, and dynamic time and weather compatible tracks.
GT5 has procedural rally stages, user made tracks, actual endurance races (GT6 limited to 24 minutes in career) yet the online has been switched off.
Both have their specific extras, GT really needs a definitive ps3 edition. Just for the fact that it took over 3 hours to update GT6 the other day :(

Anyway yeah, I don't see a reason to get FM5 over FM6 unless you don't want to spend too much trying out the series.
