Gran Turismo 6 coming to PS3

[CorvetteConquer]

3. Because its already massive. The only people who do not have a PS3 now are those who cant afford it. When they do get a PS3 at perhaps the next price drop, Im sure a $20 GT5 XL Edition will be more enticing to them then a $60 GT6.

Say what?!

Do you really believe that more people would choose an old, tired, garbage GT5 XL over a brand new game with new cars/tracks? You're smarter than that.

Also, your first point lends me a little credibility, too. The only people who do not have a PS3 are those who cannot afford it, right? So why in the world would the others shuffle out even more money for a more expensive PS4 + the cost of a next gen game? (hopefully it's still $60). And we are only assuming with everybody with a PS3 will get a PS4. That's a bit tricky.

The large PS3 install base + not having to buy a new console for GT6= many copies sold. I wonder how long it would take for Sony JUST to sell 9 million PS4's. I use 9 million because that's how many GT5 copies were sold. So for a PS4 GT6 to sell as many copies as GT5, Sony would first need to sell 9 million PS4's. And even when that happens, we would be under this ludicrous idea that every owner of those 9 million PS4 consoles had purchased GT6.

-Your other arguments are good enough. But this one stuck out, as it's the most difficult point to refute, in my opinion.

1. GT6 doesnt have to be in direct competition with Drive Club. If Drive Club is a launch or near launch title, it will reap the benefits of being one of the handful games on the new consoles, perhaps even the only racing game, for a good while. Im not expecting GT6 until April 2014 on the PS4 at the earliest, so it will have plenty of time to sell and not be under GT6's shadow...

Sorry Earth - the pS4 won't likely release in tha EU until sometime in spring 2014, quite a few months after Japan and then the US - so that would be taken into consideration in planning release schedules. The EU has a large number of racing fans.

 

[Samus]

YES!! Even though that may not be real, this gives PD and Sony a good decision whether GT6 will be on PS3 or PS4. By the looks of it from these retailers. It may very well go on PS3! W00T!!! Best idea ever; please do it Sony, I know you want to for the GT fans.

EDIT: I meant by the retailers want GT6 on PS3.

Say what now?

At the moment, I does actually look like a worldwide release at the same time.

On the other hand -> GT6 for PS4 = presumably better PS4 sales

What about that?

(Just a thought, not necessarily my opinion of the coming GT lineup.)

Ahh, I didn't want to double post.

Wait, did they change their statement? The last time they talked about the PS4 (PS4 Announcement) they said that PS4 will be released near winter 2013 in JP and NA, then early/spring 2014 in EU

They said no such thing, people merely speculated.

Source? I must have missed that one. I always heard of worldwide releases.

Nevermind...

All Sony did was give the 'Holiday 2013' date at the end of the presentation. There may have been some interviews where they hinted at possible different dates for the ROW but other than that nothing official has been said yet.

 

[TokoTurismo]

Say what now?

I think it's becoming more true that GT6 may very well be on PS3, despite the fakes from the retailers kinda. lol

 

[Samus]

Well there are two distinct possibilites the way I look at it.

Either:

A) Sony have told retailer(s) about an unannounced game and that is how they've got the information.
B) The retailers haven't been told anything by Sony and they're just going on various other tidbits of information.

I know which one seems more likely to me.....

My mind is guessing it's (B) since some retailers would want to create attention... There could be a very very small chance it could be (A), knowing Sony.

That was my impression too. Do you have a source for simultaneous release dr_slump?

 

[Samus]

It's surely B, yes. I don't see why it would be A, yes it creates a bit of hype but it would be nothing compared to the hype when they announce it themselves.

Now I went to check that Italian site and they changed the cover art again for this one:

Place holder stuff there. Let´s see what they do next.

There's no way that's the new cover art. It's awful.

 

[Furinkazen]

There's no way that's the new cover art. It's awful.

And that image is on Adrenatune's GT5 tuning site.

 

[nealcropper]

Plus, it's says PS3 on the top. Obvious giveaway. .

 

[dr_slump]

Only the rumor according to Gamestop's Brand Director and a few other retailers, but I guess that does count as much as the rumors about Europe being left out.

At date we do only have one official statement: Holiday 2013

We'll see.

 

[nealcropper]

My thoughts were that America and Japan were getting it, lets say November, and Europe was getting it a month later because of logistical problems to do with the EU.

Simon, bru c'mon. Dont fight this until Kaz himself PMs you it's happening. Come to the greener side of the fence, you'll like it. and we'll be stoked to have you 👍

Yes, you are right about that. Hmm.

I would love that cover art to be GT6's own, has that GT2 feeling to it. Very promising.

Plus, it's says PS3 on the top. Obvious giveaway. .

??? Wha? Well of course it would. (T_l')

 

[RICEFREAK]

Do you guys think that they will include nitrous in gt6? I hope they will.

 

[TokoTurismo]

Since Sorg found out nitrous along with the other missing tuning upgrades in GT5, there maybe be a possibility those will return in GT6. Hopefully.

These seem to be coming from well known online, retailers, not exactly random and unknown ones. It's crazy how at one time, like after TGS, most of us were leaning towards GT6 PS4, then after Feb. 20th, we see DriveClub, Sony Exec's comment, and these retailers putting up unannounced release dates, that I can't help but admit momentum is now on the PS3's side.

 

[Samus]

It doesn't really make much difference , whether you're Amazon or Local Games R Us, Sony don't just give out information on unannounced games to retailers.

If I were those retailers, I'd want to have a bit of a good reputation in announcing completely accurate information though. If those retailers don't care, which they probably don't then you're right.

But my point is the feeling of momentum shifting. The feeling doesn't necessarily have to come from official resources, because to be frank, we have exactly zero official information anyway, yet we have this feeling on which side it's to be released on. If you're on the 50-50 side then that's a different matter. As of now, I just feel it is more leaning towards the PS3, that's all (where-as it was PS4 after TGS). I'm not saying all the informations that are leaked are 100% legit.

What do you mean by TGS?
