gran turismo will sell better but nfs is a better series.

They belong to different branches of the racing genre, so it's hard to objectively compare them. NFS has always been an arcade racer with very few, if none, simulation parameters. GT on the other hand is all about simulation. Even it's Arcade mode is pure simulation. 

That being said, the last NFS console game to get a similar rating as a GT console game was Hot Pursuit 2 back in the PS2. And that's comparing it to GT4, the lowest rated GT console game. (If you want to use portables too, NFS has a game with massively low ratings and the only GT portable game has average reviews). 

So while to you NFS might be the better series (there's nothing wrong about this), to state as a fact that NFS is a better series is a bit off the mark and untrue. 

Wow well iwas was stating that Nfs is a better series to me i never really got into Gt's stale racing i always found nfs much more innovative than granturismo. Though to say that me stating that NFS is a better series as fact as untrue is an opinion on your part as well.

Yep, you've just shown us!

Last good NFS was 3rd (y 98), up from that it was shit shit shit (Shift wasn't bad, but that's one out of like 6 or 7 games). The newly announced NFS is a "successor" to the 3rd one, so maybe, just maybe the NFS series can get out of it's shittyness after all those years.

NFS has never been shitty dude lol maybe those particular games were just not for you. Gran turismo has been shitty since the its first entry in my opinion and never trully went anywhere. maybe GT5 can do something new though i doubt it.

I guess everyone is allowed an opinion.

Your's is wrong though for the million's of people who actually wanted a good racing game.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Gran Turismo is the best thing that happened in the history of racing games. NFS its just another good arcade racer

I'll get both. Lucky me

I think people really do give the Gran turismo series too much credit. I think all the delays for the game killed the hype for it so sure it will get 10 million but it will be a while until it actually does. I hope i am proven wrong though.

Unless you show something that's actually factual, I don't see how it's an opinion of my part. if you pay attention to the first paragraph of my reply, I said that it is very difficult to do an objective comparison between the two series, since they belong to two very different branches of the racing genre. 
So the only way to do a remote comparison is by the quality of the releases of each series so far, which GT has garnered far more positive critical response than NFS had. 

Even that isn't actually a fair comparison, because NFS had had at least double the amount of releases than GT has had (full releases).

NFS stands a good chance to win imo.

and IGN did give NFS best racing game at E3 over GT5.

I will probably buy both though. NFS games have been really shitty the last several years but its nice to see them bringing back the Hot Pursuit series. I really liked them on the PS2 so I'll prob buy both. GT5 for sure I'll buy and if I have enough cash then I'll buy NFS.

I'm disagree...

GT5 will sell more first week and it'll outsell all the NFS versions combined lifetime.

According to Vgchartz, the top 5 Need For Speed games have a combined total of 22.19 million, and that is only the top 5.  I don't think GT5 will get half of that.

When he said all NFS version, I think he meant all version of Hot Pursuit.

Think that statement restored some sense of reason to this thread

there not compariable? there both racing games just because they dont have all of the same elements doesnt mean that they cant be compared. tekken is 3d and street fighter is 2d,2.5d and they're still are compariable. also if your copmparing the series by quality then can you really say that NFS loses as they anually releases games with next to no issues and always have a different theme for the series.
