this, and GT6 sales are not a surprise, it's a franchise in decline

GT5 sold more or less like a normal GT does, so I don't see how the franchise is in decline. GT6 just released at a very inconvenient time with very little marketing push from Sony, at least from what I've seen. The game will still sell a couple million and will still make Sony money.

GT6 should have been delayed a year and ported to the PS4. Release it holiday 2014 and it would have been huge. Still, GT games have massive legs. This should go one to sell 7mil+ units.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

They should have adopted the Apple numbering system and called it GT5S.

Exactly the game released during a console transition, while more gamers are focused on upgrading their Xbox 360's and PS3's. Which means the need to save money and avoid 7th generation transactions. The game will still sell admirably though last year would have been ideal for it.

Just look at CoD, Battlefield and Assassins Creed essentially all 3 games have performed much worse then the prior iteration 1/2 and even 1/3 of BO2, BF3 and AC3.

It's a console transition it's to be expected.

GT5 is already the biggest of the series with GT5P, ~16m sales also means it outsold the entire FM series of games.

 

The reason GT6 isnt doing as well as 5 is because it came out a week after PS4 and the PS3 is a 7 year old console. Next year there will be a PS4 version of GT6 Spec 2.0 and sales will explode.
