Gran Failismo?


Yet will still out sell the last 2 forza games combined....Every second Gt game sells lower then the first of a gen.

lol some of the responses are pretty familiar


Role reversed? I find it a bit amusing (Only reason I entered this thread). Now back to not caring about the sales of either games.

and Sony thought it was better to release GT6 on PS3 because of the larger user base......

As has been said numerous times already they didn't need to create a new engine or go through the teething process to get the title out the door. GT5 made some serious bank, GT6 will just be the cherry on the cake. Even if it only sells 4 million, it's probably making Sony a lot of money.

The other option would be to jump straight to next gen, release GT6 on the PS4 in 2014-2015 while the install base is still rather low, and have another situation where there is up to 5 years between GT releases.

This way, they can probably get GT7 out on the PS4 by holidays 2016, with a 30m+ install base, less competition for Sony's other racing titles (Driveclub), more time with the new tech, and a longer period for consumers to get excited about a next gen GT. I think it was the right choice, if even initially it didn't look like it. 



 

Now sales matter again? LOL.

Also, this is not a bomb.  It isn't selling as well as GT 5 but still far from bomb status.

I don't believe it was necessary to point once again that Sony games don't sell on Sony systems, as Rol has been stating. Or do I need?



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Around the Network

Gran Turismo will still the best selling racing ip on console and 8 millions sales worldwide is a give.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I would think someone jumped the gun on sales interpretation.

Japan is not about home consoles. Its about portables.



The game won't pass 5M I said in a topic 2-3 days ago, I'm sure I'll be right unfortunately !
