It could be a plethora of things, I do still love GT. But I fail to see and you are yet to explain why raising the number of entries would make each entry sell more since the only data we have is that GT6 sold less than GT5.

I said so on my first post. It raises brand awareness. GT used to be huge and popular. Now it's forgotten. Needs to become top of mind for gamers again. The way to do that is to have installments that are a bit more regular.

GT games take so long to come out that when one gets announced no one cares anymore cause chances are its way far off still. That needs to change.

Having a more constant release could make people more aware? Perhaps, altough I don't think that is the case here. But I can't rule it out.

On the announcement part, that is another issue of Sony not keeping close time between announcement and release for almost all games.

You should consdier every year Forza developers are getting a new $60 product on shelves with DLC.

Meanwhile Polyphony is spending ~4 years getting their one game ready. Its just odd they take so long even when they recycle a lot of resources.

Plus they seemingly spend little to no time on sound or AI and very little time on physics. I would love to see a breakdown on exactly how long they spend on stuff like meticulously crafting the premium cars and working on the photo mode versus time actually spent on areas that affect gameplay.

A shorter, more streamlined development process would put focus on things that matter, like UI and gameplay.

Sure, because Forza physics is so much better on simulating right?
