It'll still outsell Forza

However a full fledged GT6 couldnt outscore an unfinished Forza which is a little alarming.  None the less both got 81 which is damn good scores.  

Im sorry guys but i dont understand the bickering about this. 


I do understand. It's probably because all SM3D World sales discussion, plus Forza 5 launch and so on. The launch of PS4 and One and their sales battles ignited a long list of flamewars around here.

About Metas, I think critics are crazy. Almost all games got low scores this year. For me, critics are only distributing bad scores to look like they have high standards when they surelly don't have. GT6 is a complete game on an old platform, so they didn't like. F5 lacks some content on a new platform, so they didn't like. They wanted a complete and full featured complete simulation racing game in the first year? GT3 has a good metascore and launched early on PS2 gen but with less than 200 cars, the lowest car count GT ever had, so its a very similar situation to Forza.

800,000 for one days worth of sales. Gt5 had 4. Dont worry youll have to change the title of this sooner than later.


shush now. its ok, just sit in a corner and weep for hours, GT is not relevant anymore, hasnt been so for years. its ok, let the tears flow. 



should go straight to bargain bin. wait, it should sell more if they bundled it with two other crappy games.



The reason why Sony released GT6 on PS3 is because there's a bigger installed user base.
So in a sense they sold more than they could now on PS4.

But it was still a bad decision because, GT5 already pushed the enveloped far on PS3, and GT6 is just redundant so not much people care, and it's the best way to make an IP loose it's appeal.

Fortunately the next one is going to be a leap forward on PS4, and because there's already DriveClub coming, it won't be anytime soon.

I'm getting tired with these threads...

It just seems like console war propaganda to me.  Ive said it before but if these games werent exclusive we prob wouldnt be having threads like these and people would just enjoy the games instead -_-

i think there was some websites doing trollish reviews to make one or the other look better but besides Killer Instinct I pretty much agree with most of the scores.  I havent played Killzone but I have a feeling i prob wouldnt agree with it since the multiplayer looks great.

I havent played GT6 but Forza 5 is the best racer Ive played in years.  That includes past forza games, GT5, Need for Speed games, Shift, Burnout, Grid, etc (Not including kart racers).  However Forza is lacking content regardless of how good the game is from a gameplay standpoint and i wish they would have included Auction House so i would score it lower than past forza games as well.  I'd prob give Forza 5 a 8.5 or something around that area which is pretty close to the meta. GT6 Im sure is good as well so people should just enjoy it. 




       

It certainly falls short of GT5, nobody can deny that.

Less marketing, last generation is clear decline, XB1/PS4 launch, GT5 saturation/fatigue, GT fans not as willing to upgrade at this point (whether doesn't warrant the price or since its still on PS3). Maybe they are starting to see the meta patterns in the series.... realizing the clear cracks in the developers armor.

It could be any number of these factors. I am glad that this will bring hopefully closer competition in the new generation. Sales wise, not meta wise :P



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I am hoping the game loses money so it makes them go back to the drawing board and make some big changes to the franchise, it's gotten very stale imho.

But the more I see of the game and play it, seems very much GT5.5, which is fine I guess, but it means it probably cost little to make so they will probably make a good profit anyway.


I see... Just like Ps4 is Ps3.5 right?

Uh, idk, if you say so.



There is already a thread to discuss GT6 sales. Why create another one?
