That's cute of you. Why not make it like GT have generated almost no profit or revenue since 2014. Very arbitrary, but seems to fit your agenda.

Wow, you're like a master at this debate thing.

I obviously picked 2013 because they was the last time we saw a GT game. I would have probably picked 2015 or 2016 if Polyphony could get a game on the market in a reasonable amount of time.

Based on the footage we've of GT Sport, it doesn't look ground breaking for the long development time.

Thanks for the compliment.

No, it seems like you picked 2013 so you could put GT6 against Forza 5, 6 Horizon 2 and 3. When GT Sports launch are you going to do a GT versus Forza since 2017?

I may be crazy because I didn't recognize it on your post.

2 years would make the series release in 30-50% less time than average. Considering Mario and GT profile of once or twice per gen and how much they hold their sales and interest like that I'm not sure it would add value releasing more often, but certainly it would also breath less new ideas and lead to faster fadigue. Forza already fatigued.

As i said, Forza overdid it, but GT is underdoing it. Say if there was a GT horizon or GT Arcade or GT drive club to hop with the main series, you'd have a new main entry every 4 years and a spin-off every 4 years. I don't think there would be any fatigue and the brand would regain it's exposure. 

I do think this is where both GT and Forza have failed. Both have gone too far in the spectrum when theres a nice sweet spot in the middle.

Your opinion is they are underdoing, not that it's a fact.

Do you think you would like a Mario 3D alternating with a 2D year in and year out or every 2 years? Do you think Nintendo would sell even more?

The thing is GT never gone anywhere, they were always a franchise with big time lapse between them. And we don't need a GT horizon, (GT arcade is already part of GT anyway). We had motorstorm and other franchises exclusive to PS to cover for that. We don't need everything to be spin-off of GT.
