yes I am very surprised

Why is EVERYONE saying GT franchise has lost poplarity

how & when did this event happen?

When Carl decided that ridiculous internet slogans were the way to go.

Oh well,   B_3_L_I_E_V_E  

Such a "Definitive " way to look at things!

The sun set on sim racing titles when Papyrus died. What people think of as "racing sims" today (Forza and GT) are mere shadows of what has come before dressed up with much prettier graphics and sound.

Gran Turismo wont sell cuz you can't play co-op story mode, you can't call in air strikes, and there are no hookers on the tracks to pick up. Total Flop!!

Sim racers are still more popular than arcade racers for the most part.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

lol......seriously though, I would honestly like to understand how GT has lost popularity. If we go by this logic, WITHOUT a proper GT release, then Halo must be on a decline as well, as ODST wasn't a full game and didn't sell like previous Halo titles, AND HAS a proper full release on the market.

I know, sounds rather ridiculous doesn't it?

I do think GT5 will sell less, but I won't even bother explaining that one.

And yes, I'd say Halo's popularity has staled a bit. Modern Warfare is new guy in town and MW2 will likely come close to doubling Halo 3's sales in the long run.
