His comment is in 2011... lol

lol that's make me laugh.

That still live today because it is true... and more GT is more quality game in simulator game than Forza... maybe in the next 10 years Forza games will have what GT games have today (or not because the next interaction is loosing features).

It's already outselling GT4 in aligned launches:

5 weeks worldwide:

GT5: 4,621,505
GT4: 4,591,879

GT5 is completely destroying GT4 in the past few weeks, despite the weaker first week. I think this happened because a lot of people were confused about the release date, and advertising wasn't able to kick in as early as it was supposed to. In EMEAA, GT5's 5 weeks has already outsold GT4's 10 weeks.

I predict that GT5 will go on to outsell GT4 by at least a million. The strong momentum of the game should continue into early 2011, and this is all happening despite a very weak Japanese market. Europe is loving this so much. I think the reason for all this happening is that GT4 was produced at the height of PS2 piracy, and that PS3 piracy is still virtually non-existent.

Anyway, to all the people who thought GT5 would sell "below Forza 3 or GT5 Prologue", "just 5 or 6 million", those people who said "PS3 userbase is too small", "It has bad reviews", "Forza is the new king of racing", "GT is on a decline", blah blah blah blah blah...

(Btw, Forza 3 sales, heavily bundled, over one year later: 4,405,464)

Eat that.

You wonder its because PS2 had GT3 and GT4 and GT5 was the only one this gen (until this November). You could very well call it a gen over gen decline for IP sales.

Your Forza comment at the end......lol brag about sales all you want, but Forza took the quality crown since 2007. Eat that, as you said.

His comment is in 2011... lol 

Lmao I almost spilled the coke I was drinking.

GT4 and GT5 is not a good comparison, GT4 released late in the consoles life cycle just like GT6 will, compare those two. GT5 should be compared with GT3.

GT5 can be the second best selling GT ever in a 100m userbase... GT3 have a 150m userbase to be the best selling GT.

I think the comparision if fine and both did AWESOME.

They see GT rollin' and they're hatin'



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

GT is partnered with Top Gear in Europe. Thats all she wrote. That game is gold. Whatever flaws GT5 had will be fixed in GT6 for sure.

You can't actually prove that though. Metacritic is really all we got. But I can counter with  4/5 of the cars don't have proper outer and interiors as the premiums.....kills the sim factor if the poly counts are lower then what the competition uses. 

I would appreciate it if you didn't have this really annoying smugness about this subject.

That comment that make you wrong... the best sim racing game have crap graphics way below PS2 level because what matter is how the car drive and not how it looks... and GT5 do both better than Forza.

Eg. Life 4 Spped

GT 5 also comes with a ps3 bundle

Just saying

So has pretty much every Forza game, yet GT easily (and I mean very easily) outsells them. It also sold around 2.5m first week, a feat that I would love to see a spin on.

Pretty sure the Forza bundles are done...but I still see GT5 PS3 bundles today in a few major retailers. Seems they are contuing to be "stealth bundled".
