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.

1. They sold well even post 8th gen console launches and lost sales from being cross plat.

2. Not relevant in my opinion, there was still a large audience buying PS3 games at the time.

3. I don't recall CoD:Ghosts having the cross buy thing. Fifa might have had some upgrade deal, perhaps an EA promotion. GTAV is just an example, there was great interest in that and declining interest in GT6. But like I said before, it was basically just an updated version of the last game.

I agree that GT6 should have been cross plat, simple tweaks could have made it look and perform signficantly better on PS4. It could be the best racer on PS4 even now. I feel they didn't do it because it wouldn't be a graphical showcase for PS4.

1. Define sold well, GT6 sold well...

2. Most of PS3 sales are undocumented due to its popularity in Europe, as we can see has happened for GT6.

Polyphony seem to do whatever they want, which can be hazardous to regular production...
