Well, to give an American's anecdotal POV, the reason I no longer give a shit about Gran Turismo 5 is because it has been delayed so many times, I no longer believe it exists.


1 delay in Japan is not "many times", I guess one could consider that not releasing in 2009 as promised at one time (but not officially) could be a "delay" so that's 2. Still, not in the "many" category.


Nah, it's been delayed many times, imo. Who cares if it was official or not. This is the most delayed freakin game I've ever waited for.

Your wait doesn't mean it was delayed many times, you've just wanted it for a while. It's only been delayed once. One could argue that ALAN WAKE was delayed many times over (if anything, even more than GT5), but in reality, it was never delayed at all.

I don't care, it is my perception, and the perception of many many gamers that GT5 was delayed enough times to piss me right off. I don't give a shit if the game was "technically" delayed, that is just an argument you make when you defend something. We all know that this game has pissed a lot of people off with its delays(or whatever you feel like calling them). That's what I'm talking about.


>_>; wow you're basing your own opinion as a fact on all gamers? , i waited for Duke Nukem Forever since.... Forever , and now that its FINALLY coming out next year i forgot all about the wait, and i can't wait to play it.

does that reflect to ALL gamers? no.

Dont lose your time Severance

people that wanted to play STALKER, played it despite the many delay
same go for Alan Wake
same will be with GT5

People that argue oppositely are just not interested in GT5, point.

I would not even question GT in sales.

Game           User Base           Total sales
GT1                20~M                   10~M
GT2                70~M                   10~M
GT3                15~M                   14~M
GT4                100~M                 10~M

If there was ever a game that was going to sell 10~M copies its, GT5. Hell a demo with 80 cars, 6 tracks, and a $39.99 price tag has sold over 5M on the worst selling PS platform to date.

Even further, GT5 now officially has NASCAR, and WRC. That can only help. The community aspect, is new territory, and it could really become big. 

With GT we are talking way beyond games. This is beyond Sony, and Polyphony. GT is the car industry. GT is Autoweek, Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Detroit Auto Show, Daytona 500, Indianapolis 500, 24 hour Lemans, Top Gear, Car Manufactures, and more.

Last thing I have to say. There are way more car enthusiasts than gamers. Car shows go on year round at thousands of locations around the world, and car lovers flock to them. With every iteration of GT Polyphony reaches out to more and more of them. With the networking of GT5 the backing it already has from car clubs worldwide, and the fan base already interested in it, this game is the biggest step in racing games since GT1. GT5 has more potential than anything I have ever seen, and with the shear number of players on board, I just can not see how it can be missed.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I´m gonna quote someone who said this.

Sony only needs to show it on Top gear.

Europe my friend, if F1 2010 sells well than GT5 will be 10x that 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

That.

Also, the game is a month out.

Yeah. I'm worried too. I will not be surprised if the game must take years to even overtakes Prologue.

Another reason why preorders have not taken off is because there is no reason for people to pre order. Most majore releases- fable 3, medal of honor, halo reach, etc. all had a $20 game credit at amazon , walmart, etc. They laso all had some bonus like recon armor. Gt5 only offers a $10 credit. I think preorders will go up on amazon as soon as tehy give a $20 credit.
