Well, in GOTY lists are both games in the same genre award category? I'm pretty sure they are. Hence they are both racers and thus when you claim sales accolades you can't simply ignore MK. If you want to talk about specific features then absolutely these games are in separate categories. But Need For Speed is in a 3rd category that is neither kart not sim, and then there are still other categories of racer. If you aren't going to put a qualifier in front of "racing game" then MK and GT both belong to that category.



If I were on the board of people who decide these things, I would certainly change the GOTY awards so as to more clearly define the differences between MK and GT. It's absured to think they compete for the same award... if true.



But then you would start fragmenting wards to a ridiculous degree like the grammies. How many racer categtories should there be, because there are several sub-genres of racer? Is a rally game and a F1 game in the same category, and are they in the same category as a sim like Forza or GT? And what category are racers like NFS? And what about motorbike racers, an ATV racers, and sci-fi racers (like Wipeout)?  How many sports genres should there be? Should there be an award for 2D platformers that are separate from 3D platformers? Where you you put 2.5D platformers?
