GT wins because its GT. Enough said. You can brag all you want about your mclaren and damage particles (NFS has that too) but you ain't gonna show who better. Sure the reviews may say forza 3 is better but keep in mind that GT5 is in development for a longer time. You don't want another E.T game would you???
And @ HCS
WHO THE HELL WOULD SHOUT/TALK CRAP WHILE PLAYING A DRIVING SIM???
FKING REDNECKS LIKE YOU?

Whew sony fanboys FTW

^ Try and be subjective. Without a doubt GT name will make more sales, but this about meta score as title suggests. :)

selnor, let's hear a prediction. Meta and sales for both. U dare?

I predict the following:

Sales:

GT5 = 7 million Lifetime

Forza 3 = 5 million Lifetime

Meta score:

GT5 = 90

Forza 3 = 95

Lol ok so Forza wins because GT5 is gonna suck really horribly because it had no damage and ps3 users don't use headphones online. Forza 3 is gonna score 100/100 on metacritic for sure.
This is a totally unbiased opinion by a sony fanboy.

U'r kidding rite?

No, come on man. I was saying be subjective. Your post had no substance.

Many in this thread have looked at both games quite well and discussed. Like what the features are etc. Whats behind the physics. Reality is that GT has had competition since Forza came along and ever since Forza has been here GT scores have been lower than the previous 95-96 that it got on meta for GT1-3.

@ Selnor

You REALLY belive Forza 3 can sell 5 million?

Well i respect your opinions on Forza 3 and Gran Turismo 5 and i'm sorry if i had hurt anyone feelings.

Hope you don't misunderstand this is THE war of the consoles xD (wii not included)

Well, it certainly has better damage models.

Anyway, when you say "lacking" you're wrong. F3 is pretty strong in every category, there are just certain instances where GT5 has overwhelming content, so maybe you were using "lacking" as a relative term, and not intending to be derogatory towards the game.

Protip: You weren't.
