I doubt Polyphony even care, GT 5 will outsell Forza 3 by 3:1.

Sony should stop taking jabs at those who take jabs at Gran Turismo.

Wait, it isn't Sony that is doing it, it is a site that caters to Sony fans that is doing this. I do believe Turn 10 should pipe down some. But I guess their shooting their mouths off is getting Forza 3 attention. What better way to end up being an equal then to be seen as a rival. Keep talking about the trashtalk of Forza 3's developers, and you end up making Forza a game that is a rival to GT, and considered an equal. If this is your intention, keep harping on what Forza's developers are saying.

An issue I see here that pops up is that, in trying to tell Forza's devs to pipe down, you end up arguing a weakness in Gran Turismo (no car damage) is supposed to be a GOOD thing, and you trash a strength of Forza. You say, "Well no car damage is better than imperfect car damage!". Ok, well how about we have NO driving sims, because the same reasoning can be applied to car modeling. Gran Turismo ISN'T perfect in simulating a car, so why don't we not bother at all to have driving sims? Forza did expose flawed reasoning on the part of Gran Turismo supporters, in that it did something Gran Turismo didn't do (car damage). The developers of GT apparently felt modeling other things were more important. However, Forza did force the issue, and GT should be better for it.

So, in regards to this, can everyone chill a bit here? The more you harp on the blabbering that Turn 10 is doing, the more Forza is made out to be an equal to Gran Turismo. If you want that, keep it up.

Sad part is that the fanboy footsoldiers don't even get a cookie for their efforts.

So, sales numbers are what matter here?  I guess Mario Kart is king then.  Will GT5 even come within half of what Mario Kart Wii has sold?

'Yamauchi hasn’t done anything for me in years'

He said: “We watched the Sony press conference and we were like, OK so we just brought what we believe firmly is the best racing game ever made, and our competition didn’t show up. So now you can see why I’m fairly bullish. I hate to sound so cocky but the truth is the stars have aligned. I don’t know how else to say it.”

“That said, as a fan of the series, he hasn’t done anything for me in years. So in many ways he’s handing the baton to me. He probably doesn’t see it that way, but I do, because I believe that I’m now taking what he ignited in me as a passion, and taking it to a much, much, much broader level. I’m not saying it’s necessarily larger yet, but definitely broader, younger, older, men, women. So I’m really excited.”

First he said no one could compete with them then he said their competition didn't show up.

It will absolutely make the Forza brand better if he can shut up. =)

I am glad they are taking jabs at Gran Turismo, cause it will be even more of a sweet victory when Gran Turismo wipes the floor with Forza 3 in sales.

They have the best sim in the world, and they just trying to hype it...

Forza huh? Well ioi seems to like it!

@OP
I really never played Forza (get ready for a surprise)nor any GranT game ever. But this is a business. If you ask me, Microsofts been doing a hell of a job targeting Sony's strongs spots lately so why should they stop now?

We're on a website that revolves entirely around sales. So Mario Kart is indeed king, that's super. But really, why would Polyphony care when their game will vastly outsell Forza 3?
