Well that's a bit of an obvious statement, isn't it? In the lifetime of this forum, we've only amassed just under 300k forum members. That's less than the initial sales weeks of most GT games, let alone the millions that each individual title sells. We are the minority here, by a long shot, whether you're for the game or not.
Your correct. I made a mistake adding all formats.
While the update will definitely help, and is something I'm looking forward too, the information found about the game from review sites that have been around are likely not to update their reviews, and those are the most easily accessible information about the game.. Unless someone is digging up the information from sites like this, I doubt the average person going in to Gamestop and the like are going to even know. I think had this been advertised on the game-box would be the thing that would bump up the sales. However, I'm sure these holiday sales will do well for them, from Black Friday to Christmas.
On Amazon it went down to £18 on Black Friday Eve, and the day itself. It's been back up to £30 mark ever since, and is still around the top 10. Other recent releases like Shadow of War and Wolfenstein 2 are around £30 and under too.
Shadow of War was the best selling title in the US in October. Rainbow Six Siege now has an active userbase higher than the likes of Battlefield, Halo and versions of CoD.
Some GT fans have very selective memories. Kaz himself stated that GT6 was also a modular platform for ease of future development and the team structure was more than enough to support it. Games with far smaller teams and budgets have no trouble with ongoing support of their titles.
These things are well known in the sim community but I will if I have to when I am not on my mobile. You're quite out of the loop if you don't know that both PCars1 and AC are developed on a relative shoestring and have issued countless updates and tons of DLC over the last couple of years. AC was developed with a core staff of 12, rising to 28 with the console release and it's not hard to guess that the budget for the game was incredibly low when the entire organization sold for less than 5 million Euros earlier this year.
Assetto Corsa.
What's hard to imagine is them having a consistent DLC schedule since they never have in the past. It's a wait and see kind of thing right now, and while they're off to a good start, that would require 12 cars a month to be able to achieve that. That is an extreme amount when you consider the output of their previous games.
I don't disagree about the aspect of PC1 and PC2, with its glitches and what not. To be fair, though, the amount of content that game has is quite a step above GTS. They only thing they'd need at this point is more vehicles, which apparently are coming sometime this Winter. Bug Fixes is the one thing they need over anything else, to be honest, because they have a solid core underneath.
