WHY? =)))))))

GT5 has reached new LEVEL of VISUALS, which will APPEAL to FAR more people.

That game is only bringin one new thing on the table: new LEVEL of STUPID fanboyism for people who only judge a book by its cover... FAR MORE PEOPLE won't think like these fanboys this gen, and that's a good thing for the whole industry...


Emmm, so judging from what u said, GT5 is just a book with a nice cover. And ofcourse inside will be just crap, correct?

all the people that will buy it will be stupid fanboys.

 ok thnx for the info bro u rock!



I like technology when its moving forward..

@Crazy, Did you own a PS1? Well obviously I do and I bought GT2 for it and loved the game to death. Once I saw GT3 was announced for the PS2, I went nuts cuz the graphx rocked so hard from what I saw of it. Then I played the game, realized I was ripped off and cursed the games existence. GT5 better be a new game and not just an upgraded version of GT4!

Let's not even get into the fact that the version of GT2 I have was crippled due to Sony pushing the game out before it was completed ON PURPOSE. Talk about getting double burned on that one.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

actually, improved visuals don't appeal to far more people

the masses don't care that much about graphics

the gameplay/fun factor being better will appeal more to far more people

gt4:P only did over million, gt5:P could possibly beat that. chances are also that gt5 will be released in '09, if that's the case then gt5 could still beat gt4.

GT5 will sell around 40-50% of its userbase when its released.

example: say the userbase is 20 million, it'll sell 8-10 million.

The biggest strikes against Gran Turismo 5 in comparison to Gran Turismo 3 & 4 are:

  • The PS3 is far less popular than the PS2. There are a lot of car fanatics in the world who just happened to own a PS2 in the previous generation because it was the most popular system with the masses; had Gran Turismo 3 or 4 been released on the Gamecube, XBox or Dreamcast it would have seen much lower sales because it didn't have the audience to sell to.
  • The PS3 is much more expensive than the PS2. By the time you buy the system, a game and pay taxes your total purchase is going to be approaching $500; a price tag noticeably higher than the people who dream of one day owning the cars in Gran Turismo can actually pay.
  • Gran Turismo 5 has far more competition. Back in the day, Gran Turismo 3 was heads and shoulders above all other racing games regardless of the platform; today you can choose Forza, Project Gothem Racing, Burnout Paradise and many more specialized racing games.

Mario Kart is in a different position because it is the last surviving decent Kart racer, it is being released on (potentially) the most popular home system it has ever been released on, and the Wii is seen (by many people) as the only affordable gaming system on the market today.

>Look at the success of MKDD and the success of any Wii game with a peripheral (Wii Play, Link's Crossbow, Wii Fit).


and for once, the game itself isn't just a second-thought anymore. I hope MK sells well.
