Regarding the demand for GT Mobile:
You may be correct about this, but using what data we have currently available (anecdotal as it is) I would say this has a chance of being a big title for the PSP. Now, will it rival the sales of the top DS games? Not by a long shot. But in the PSP realm I think it will do well just because it won't take much by GT standards.
I just noticed that there are currently
193 people viewing the GT5 forum compared to
4 (3 excluding myself) viewing the GT Mobile forum
I've never seen more than 7 people viewing the GT Mobile forum at one time. If I ever see 10 or more people viewing it at one time, I will be amazed
The GT Mobile forum is one of the
least active areas of GTPlanet. Granted, this is "anecdotal" evidence, but GTPlanet is full of GT enthusiasts, and well, they don't appear to be
enthused about GT Mobile.
Where is the buzz, the anticipation, the excitement for GT Mobile?
After all, it was just announced a few weeks ago. If there was a strong demand for, or interest in the game, you would think that the GT Mobile forum would be abuzz with activity...but it's not
And I don't foresee that changing in the near future. PSP games have been, and always will be, a relative afterthought to their console counterparts. I must be an idiot, because I just don't see how launching GT Mobile
ahead of GT5 is ever going to be anything but a FAIL.
Does anyone else see the irony in the PSP Go having a full GT title for it's launch, whereas the PS3 did not?
EDIT: I'm now going to exit out of the GT Mobile forum, because I don't want to artificially skew it's popularity by leaving my browser open, thus making it appear an extra person is viewing it and enhancing it's viewership by 25%
