Honestly, all those PS4 software sales are disappointing. Especially GTS and Psycho Break 2.

Since this is the first Gran Turismo on the console, think this will hurt Gran Turismo Next or can they recover from this, assuming it even comes out this generation. Oh god, that just crossed my mind, the development time with the company it might be the only Gran Turismo on exclusively on the PS4. 

That should help it sell more

Picked up Driveclub for 8 dollars. 

I'll pick up GT in 3 years for 10 dollars.

This is a Mario week and shops are using promotional stuff in-store.
Medium to high stores are not having lotteries at all, but the small ones at least in Kyoto still run some raffles. It's expected an opening at about 400k for Odyssey. Strange Journey is having some stock problems.





On discounted games, MH4 at 90yen. Time to grab it, I think.

He isn't a PR guy, the most you could say is that he is doing PR. But in that way you would have to say that anyone talking about something they work is a PR guy.

Yep he's promoting his game.  Obviously they don't want the game to have the prologue tag and want people to look at it as mainline to maximise sales. 

Yes one could say he is promoting... but he isn't a PR guy. Unless you think anyone working on the game when they talk about it they are PR. Then all said by then should be considered null.

Obviously you are just pushing some theory that have 0 ground on the facts. They have released GT5 Prologue before, have done A-pec GT3 and they had no issue for then or need to go for a useless stunt of pretending not to be a prologue to sell for 60 and burn a game.

They are not exactly pretending it isn't a prologue if it's beefed up to justify charging 60. But it's still not on par with a normal mainline entry. It's my opinion to think we will get a much better gt7. It's a prediction of mine aswell. As i said only time will prove me right or wrong. see you in the future.
