It would be Polophony , history shows that GT is Kaz's baby and he runs the show , the success of the franchise and polophony's structure makes it hard to go agains't his wish's, this can be seen with GT5 having all those upgraded PS2 era car models because he said long time fans would miss their favourites, common sense would have had them going through the older models and picking out the iconic models for proper upgrades whilst trimming all those cars that where simply just variants of the same car, I know I enjoyed seeing brand new sports cars in all that HD glory, but when i also saw some pretty average cars given the same treatment rather than Icon's of the industry I was dissapointed , and what was worse knowing that any constructive criticism would be lost too Kaz's current infatuation's.
God I miss the feeling of early Gt games, being able to start off racing cars till I could afford to buy something like a toyota celica that I would then take with me up through the eligible classes beefing it up along the way to the point it could no longer compete and all that time using those races to pay for all those added upgrades meant I had completed about 70% of the series it could run in, all with one car, that done I would move on to do all the other races.

Also interesting and informative. So you'd lay the choices - and thus the failures of those choices at Polophonys feet, and not Sony then? Or perhaps Sony is some what at fault for not reigning in Kaz at some point.

The trouble is there is very little rational for Sony to intervene , after all GT5 sold in huge numbers and the profit margin would have been great seeing that GT5 prologue's 5 million sales would have paid for it's development. GT6 coming toward the end of the PS3's life and because of the use of the development platform used to create GT5 those would be seen as mitigating circumstances in regard to it's sales position so wouldn't be seen as a black mark against him.
All they have to go on is the fact that it is still a huge franchise , and why upset the apple cart on isssues that may be subject to change with a game barely out , now if the perceived problems turn out to be long term negatives that affect the series then the most likely cause of action is persuasion.
