Yes Slip I see your point but you must also see WHY I decided to say that.
Perhaps. Fight fire with fire and all that?
You don't know that for sure, and since you like examining the big picture, I believe there is a game coming out that will be on both the PS3 and the PS4.
It's widely-known that the Cell is notoriously difficult to program for. Admittedly, PD are a Sony group, so it's their specialty, but working on a PS4 title in addition to a PS3 version means dealing with porting and coming to terms with the new hardware. Yes, Kaz may have had input in the new system, but it still doesn't change the fact that making two games for two systems would require the team to invest even more man-hours in two projects than they would need for just one (either one, at that). This is a team notorious for not being able to hit a deadline (heck, even
creating one is a challenge), so, while I can certainly understand your reasoning behind the desire to have them working on a title for both systems, I personally find it far more reasonable that PD would be focusing their efforts on one or the other.
Not everyone has the same view of quality as I see GT5 as a high quality title that has a some issues. What game doesn't? I just focus on the ones I am willing to look over.
You mentioned the sales, I simply followed the logic provided.
IF, funny how you entire mindset is based off a worse case scenario for Sony.
Very true. But that sort of genre pressure is one of the main reasons I
don't see a PS3 version coming. It's certainly expected that a new FM5 will be shown at E3 (T10 sticks to that two-year schedule), so that comparison isn't unlikely, but let's not forget about the enemy within; the PS4 itself. A GT6 shown on the PS3 at E3, surrounded by the massive blitz that will be PS4 title showings, would be lost in the static.
The solution of showing it on the PS4 too? Well, you've now convinced most people interested in the game to get the better version. The PS3 copy might be able to snag a few sales from the hold-outs, those who don't want to be an early adopter of the new system. But if that's the case, do they strike you as the type that will line up for a day one purchase, either? Speaking personally, as of right now, GT6 isn't a day one purchase for me regardless of system, but based on what we see from PD this year, obviously this can change. If they released the game on two systems though, and I wasn't completely sold on it or the PS4? I wouldn't get either copy. I'd see little reason in buying the inferior copy; I'd know a better version of the game I'm playing is out there, and I'm never going to pay for the same game twice, which means I'd wait until the time I do get the PS4 to finally purchase the proper version of GT6.
It's a worse-case scenario, yes - but my point was mostly that, with the PS4 out of the bag now, it's too late to give us the first look at any GT title destined for the PS3. A simultaneous title on both platforms would sell very little on the old system. I see two exceptions to this; one, instead of a GT6 on PS3, give one last blow-out Spec 3.0 GT5 update, with a smattering of new cars and a handful of tracks. Tide people over. The other, more unlikely option; stung by the criticism of long-gestation times, PD will show up at E3 with a PS3 GT6, and pull an Apple, announcing it'll be available in stores within a month, tops. Now, I see that as borderline impossible, since it won't give Sony the time to milk the build-up, but hey, it's an idea
Everybody who has contributed to this thread all shares the same passion, I sometime forget about that, but it doesn't change my point. I can't state that GT turned me into a car enthusiast, but I can say that Gran Turismo brought it into focus.
I think it's an important thing to state sometimes; despite vastly different view points, most of us are here thanks to a common factor 👍
I see your point, but what you are forgetting is that 77 million people could be prospective Cheetos purchasers and while only a (+/- ) 5 million will be buying the gold. Why not sell to both?
If I knew I had the choice...
Indeed. The fact that Kaz himself puts his person in harms way speaks volumes to me on who to trust when it comes to racing video games.
I don't really see how it's related. Sure, he got to where he is in the racing world thanks to GT, but it's his (very fortunate) hobby.
It is more then "happiness"... it's smart business. GT games are huge sellers, why limit your business to just one piece of hardware?
Why not sell on other platforms then, though? In the case of a PS3/PS4 combo, it's likely not worth the extra time and money. I'd wager that if both were to be released simultaneously, the PS3 one wouldn't just be the worst-selling of the full games, it'd sell worse than the PS4 version after the first few months. Just a guess, of course
.
My faith in PD making GT6 the best is pretty high. (I know someone is gonna come out and say "ohhh what a fanboy"). 
), but like I said, depends.
with everything you said. I feel they're making GT6 for the PS3 definitely. I'm hopeful that it'll be for the PS4 too; I'm not so confident about that though. Around 2.5 years ago PD started making GT6. ONE of the problems GT5 ran into was that they started making it before they knew what the final specs/capabilities of the PS3 were. They had to have known to avoid that dilemma this time around if in fact it was too early to start making GT6 specifically for the PS4.
