If the final game is bug-free and have enough content, no problem for me. I don't want them expeding to much time on GTS because I also want GT7.

Despite PD being a bit underwhelming in these last few years, how much they cost isn't relevant. Profit is. GT5 had a budget of 60 millions, but they actually 4 million copies just for the Prologue. That probably paid more than half of the budget alone. They didn't cost more than 100 millions last gen while selling around 20M copies of their games. Even if we considered an average retail price of 20 dollars (around 10 profit), and that's a pretty terrible and low guess, that's 200M.
Criticising them for their budget is the same thing that saying that 2K should close Rockstar North because they needed a 200M budget to make GTA V.
Even if their recent games were criticized, the sales were there. Criticism doesn't always translates directly to performance. The new CoD is being shredded by the "internet gamers", but it won't matter much if the game still sells 20M copies anyway.
