CoD Ghosts, Fifa, and GTAV flew past GT6 launching near 8th gen consoles.

So I think the massive decline of GT6 was both people moving to new consoles AND declined interest. GT6 is basically just an updated GT5.

While true, there are some key differences as compared to GT6.

1. Those games launched before next gen.

2. Those games were multiplat.

3. Cod Ghosts was cross gen buy, and I am fairly sure Fifa was as well. GTA V has the special case of being GTA V, ie exceeding all expectations and still a top selling game in 2016.

 

GT6 should have been multiplat with PS4 and cross gen buy for more incentive to buy imo.

Pretty much this.
