For a sales performance that is making a lot of haters silent, this thread sure is garnering a lot of replies.

I'm sure most haters' mouths are actually silent, some of them are surely talking through some other orifice.

Fact remains Forza 3 is still better. Not about sales as GT5 has been around a LOT longer then Forza and has a huge international following, which Forza Motorsport would never get immediately as it's an American made game. Japan hates American games.

Game Rankings:

http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox360/948030-forza-motorsport-3/index.html  - 92.1% Forza Motorsports 3

http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox360/948030-forza-motorsport-3/index.html - 84.6 GT5

Metacritics.com

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/forza-motorsport-3 - 92% - Forza Motorsports 3

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/gran-turismo-5 - 84% - GT5

So, it's not just me who believes this. The fact remains the same. When Forza 4 is released it will be even more convincing to critics. The King of Racing will continue into the next generation. Nuff said.

 


Anyone who relies on numerical gamerankings are NOT thinking for themselves and are hiding behind opinionated numbers.

LOL @ people still comparing MK with GT5,the two games have nothing to do with eachother.

It's like comparing Avatar and Inception.

 You know, you really set yourself up for a HUGE troll comment there.

Comaping a good movie (Inception) with a bad movie (avatar) that people only like because of it's amazing graphics and effects.

I can understand that is your opinion of the film but who made you the judge of what people like a movie for?

I personally found some of the core ideas in the film interesting, the action was great, the pacing was good and the culture and life of the planet Pandora really allowed for a total suspension of disbelief and a strong engagement with the idea the film presented.

I think avatar was a decent movie, Inception was better, but I liked avatar for more than just it's visual splendor.

They're in the same genre (though not subgenre), that's the point for comparison.  

I think there's a bit of revisionism going on though, Mario Kart tends to get retroactively positioned as the heavy weight juggernaut but that's not at all the case.  Before this generation, no Mario Kart had sold over 10m, while every GT had.  This gen we have two Mario Karts over 20m, and two GTs that likely won't hit 10m... it's really been a massive seachange this gen, and more reflective of the overall consumer shift towards Nintendo and away from PlayStation.
