GT5 was released 7 years ago, things evolve, times change, more and more players go online everyday.
Call of duty also used to be an offline single player.
As already pointed out, COD still has a campaign mode. The numbers you speak of are negligible ( more and more players going online). It is still a tiny percent of people why buy the games.
Rocket League has over 30 million players, granted a fair few downloaded it for free from PSN+, But there are nowhere near even 2 million playing online at anyone time ( overshooting with that number, probably less than 500k ). That includes PS4 and PC.
COD has millions of sales, you do not see millions in the playlists, not even close.
Kunos have said that less than 30% have ever clicked on the online portion of Assetto Corsa, and that was the PC version where you'd think it would be more multiplayer based.
There are over 20 million PSN+ accounts, that's not even half of the number of PS4s out there, and that's 20 million PSN accounts, not PS4 accounts.
Today, if a game like overwatch, which does not have a single player roll, sells 35 million copies in just over a year or game as a GTA5 (one of the biggest single player games today, as well as the best-selling one) Are getting upgrades and expansions only for the online part, because the most played part of the game; Already carrying these 2 examples you understand well that people are much more predisposed to playing online than the other way around.
Not even remotely comparable, you can jump straight into those game and play 10 or 20 minutes if you're pushed for time, online racing you can be faffing about for 20 minutes for whatever reason, happened to me many a time on every racing title ( bar Dirt Rally). The numbers don't lie, and you can see those numbers in almost every online game playlists.
Link for this or did you just make it up?
What is it you want a link for? The number of copies sold? Or the number of people online? Let me do some quick numbers for you, 10 million copies were sold, there were never millions of people online. I never saw more than 20-100 rooms online, and they weren't ever all full. Does that not sound like a tiny percentage of 10 million customers? If you have trouble believing this then I'd say it's a pretty pathetic stance just to defend a game that no longer has a career mode.
This is funny. No. I don't think you know how sales work, even more, I think you dislike the fact that GT remained a hugely successful franchise. People, fans, don't just randomly drop their money for GT for over 20 years. It may be hard for you to fathom, but GT remained relatively popular as it was well liked and enjoyed by fans. Your opinion is just that: an opinion that clearly does not reflect the objective reality of sales.

The numbers = objective reality
"The damage" = your perception
GT5 made me and many of my other friends become GT fans. Oh and yes PS4 definitely affected GT6 sales.
I haven't seen anyone try deny the sales figures. You seam to basing the popularity of the game on sales figures, which is fine, even if you pretending not to understand that it has no bearing on how popular GT5 was after those people bought it. It was the most criticised and bashed GT in the franchise, and not simply because it wasn't as good as the previous games.
"The damage" = your perception
.
This is my perception, based off my own experience, and numbers, I.e = objective reality.
After GT6 released, I saw about 2 people on my friends list playing it, where as with GT5 there were always 10-30 playing it at any one time none of them had moved on to PS4. Now GT6 sold far fewer than GT5, sales were slow and low, so much so that it was £20 within a month.
Many long time GT players have moved on because of how poor GT5 and 6 were. GT is no longer held in the same regard as it once was. That's damage. Your perception of damage (when it comes to GT at least) is rather rosey isn't it.

I meant the youtube comments' rudeness.
It is the general discussion forum of GTS. Criticism is of course ok but the pure negativeness may be better in the whining thread?
And who determines what is negative and criticism? It seams some people just don't want truths pointed out and determine that as negative.
Gameplay and Replay is exactly the same. If you look the replay in cokpit view or other playable view, you willn't see any difference except maybe the blur. If the replay seems to you prettier, it's because there are several sources of lighting with the third person view.
