Nobody was "hopping" these GT games flop. But we expected decline and there has been. Will GT7 change that? Who knows.

No single racing series outside of Mario Kart achieves GT numbers. But due to frequent releases the Forza series has done over 6 million physical and probably a few million more digital. So Forza has managed to do quite well with a different strategy than GT.

Nobody? Are you sure? You are in here since 2010 to say that. We had plethora of people even cheering for a fail. People expected GT5 to flop and sell less than 8M, but ok if you want to ignore that.

The biggest Forza game haven't crossed what GT6 done and the series is on a decline. Considering the size of both Studios (PD around 100 and Turn 10 around 300) I don't see how GT 2 games per gen sales is comparable to the yearly release of Forza, the cost of the year releases of Forza doesn't align on the sales to make you say they are quite well against GT when you say GT6 haven't done good.

Lowered expectations isn't the same as hoping for failure. I expected Halo and Gears to see a drop but I love those series. Were there a vocal few hoping it would fail? Maybe. But you're exagerating.

GT6 would have also sold less if it was an annual series. GT6 was like $15-20 in a yeark, so lets not pretend that 5 million sold for $60. While Forza has a new $60 product with DLC every year. Its just a different strategy.
