I'm assuming that everyone else is doing their best to ignore your post, but I just can't help myself, especially when you insist on using your big old pasting brush to illustrate your point.
How many racing titles have you played on the PS1, 2 and 3 to find Playstaion lacking in that respect? Bear in mind that this spans all of the GT series and Richard Burns Rally on the sim front alone. Then there is DiRT and the WRC games - or were you talking about exclusives only?
Simple, PC has always been the superior platform, there's no denying that so that automatically puts PlayStation in second place, specially nowadays. Then the ''new'' kid on the block came in and created 2 of the best franchises ever in the racing genre. GT4 still sold more than its competitors but we all know it's far from being the best and it's supposed to be PS's flagship.
Now, with the current generation, we've had 1 game in almost 7 years, of course the PS3 had various multi-platform titles but it was always the Xbox version that looked and perfomed better. In the meantime, Xbox 360 had all the goods, 3 Forza titles, 2 PGRs and the better versions of Dirt, same goes for WRC and F1 series.
OK so the PS3 is finally getting another AAA racing title but why on PS3? Next-gen is looking great (again) for the XONE, they're launching with Forza 5 and probably by the time a GT title appears on the PS4, we will already have Forza 6 on our hands. It doesn't matter if the PS4 is more powerful, if the developers choose the XONE as their development platform, we'll continue to see bad ports.
I mean, look at the Forza forums, you'll see a healthy community because they're satisfied with the game they support, on this forums and on any GT forums all over the internet you'll see dissapointment, delusional people, people taking sides. People begging for improvements. This frustation comes from the fact that if you don't like GT5 you're screwed, there's nothing else to play in the racing genre. If there were more decent racing games on the PS3 people wouldn't be so serious about GT, they would simply play something else but they're stucked with a half-assed game.
Now, with GT6, this frustration translates into optimism, poeple are so desperate for improvements that they'll take whatever PD throws at them, these ''improvements'' really shouldn't be seen as good work from PD, they are just catching up and they are doing what is expected from a AAA company with unlimited time and money.
I used to be a PS3 gamer but now I just can't stand it, it's a slow console, with bad ports most of the time, the DS3 is junk for most of the games, the online is always bad even though I have a high-speed internet connection, even the exclusives aren't my cup of tea. The worst part is that people can't let it go, they wanted GT6 on PS3, WHY? just let it die.
