Apparently Kerotan's not so much as many people in this thread are still active and only one is permabanned - and was the biggest GT fan on this site.

I dunno if ethomaz was the biggest fan, he was just quite vocal for his prefference for PS stuff.

DonFerrari, Svennoj and I are pretty big fans of the franchise.

Still am... but I have to concede that Svennoj is a better racer than me at least on DC. His time were always a couples ms better than mine. And ethomaz got the GT5 platinum I couldn't. GT6 was so much easier to plat.

No my "boasting" is that even though GT6 is the lowest selling mainline GT to date it still wasn't surpassed by a Forza in sales.

Both games are similar in scope, so it will be very hard to defend Forza is much cheaper to make considering they need a yearly output between Motorsport and Horizon.

The Forza sim games could be annual. They would just sell less DLC and save that for the next year. Forza 6 has a ton of DLC. But having a Forza sim and Horizon biannual is a better strategy, less fatigue for fans and more improvments.

Youre right, Forza hasnt surpassed GT in a single release. But Forza has moved a lot more units since the release of GT6. Its just a different strategy and probably more profitable for MS.

I think Sony wants more frequent releases of GT as well but their studio cant seem to get it done. They had to even refund people for GT Sport.

I didn't said Forza sim is annual, what I said is since they have a forza per year (motorsport and horizon alternating) we could put the 300 people on 1 year window or 150 people on 2 year window (unless we hear the team got bigger) so it would have a similar budget to GT 100 team over 3 years (even though GT5 and GT7 will take more than the average 3 years on the series).

So your comparison is comparing GT6 alone against 3 forza to make it more pumped? Ok I guess, but if you want to say 3 games costed the same as one I would have to strongly disagree.

Sony is a lot more open with their studios on this point, very different from MS that want to push Halo, Gears and Forza on schedule no matter what. I would like to see MS allowing ND to drop Uncharted or TLOU, GoW, GT, etc if the team wanted to.
