Forums - Sony - Sony explains why Gran Turismo 6 is debuting on PS3, not PS4

This... reminds me of Vita's third party support...

"You had GT1 and GT2 on PS One; GT3 and GT4 on PS2; then there's GT5 on PS3 and a space next to it."

This is a terrible reason. "We decided to put our biggest IP on our old platform instead of using it to push our new one because we have a crippling obsessive-compulsive disorder."


My thoughts exactly



I dont mind to be honest. Buying a PS3 next week and a PS4 probably next year. I'm in no rush. ^^

Would like a Vita version though.



Reasons to release GT6 on the PS3 and not the PS4:
-Will sell more and faster on the PS3
-Wont over shadow Drive Club
-Drive Club will sell more because it will have more attention from PS4 owners
-GT7 will be hyped and boost the PS4 in 3 years when it may need a boost
-GT7 will sell better since it will have a bigger PS4 userbase when released
-Cheaper to produce on the PS3
-Would probably had to have waited a year or so longer anyways if GT6 was for the PS4
-doesn't Alienate PS3 owners who can't yet afford to upgrade to a new console

id say your post is the closest to reality, ive got 1 more theory to add, GT6 was coded for the ps3 so PD would'nt have to strip the game right back to recode for the ps4,

why has turn 10 abandoned the 360 with FM5, im sure there are probably as many 360 fans pissed off with FM5 being xbox one only as GT6 being ps3 only!

This is a really fucking dumb decision, I dont care what the install base of the ps3 is, gt6 would be THE game to put ps4's in people's homes. Makes Forza 5 look that much better IMO.


Hasn't the whole gamig and financial industry been on Sony's ass to make money?

 

Sounds to me like Sony is doing just that.....yet you still complain.
