The thing is GT5 did not sell much more than GT4 and there is no point in counting the Prologue titles unless you want to spin the numbers in favor of GT5, thus why I consider the decline started somewhere between GT4 and GT5.

Yes there actually is a point to that. It shows that interests in GT5 were a lot higher than 4 despite PS3's smaller install base and the growing Xbox and Forza competition. More context helps putting things into perspective. GT5's decline is much more artifical than Mario Kart post Wii.

PS3 userbasse was much more higher than the PS2 one at the time of GT5 release so I don't think the userbase argument is in favor of GT5. GT4 and GT5 are in a statistical tie when it comes to their sales so I do not see the "higher interest" at all.
