The last few pages of this thread are hilarious.
I often highlight that many of GTPlanets' 245,284 registered members - registered through last 10 years - somehow think how their subjective and personal criticism or even more, collective criticism-points (sounds, 2D trees, no Forza-like Livery Editor, no engine swapping, no iracing-type of simulation, etc.) means something to rest of 10+ million buyers of GT series worldwide.
Some here act in an absolutely strange way like there is no real world outside of GTP or some "Mad Sim Bro" communities - and simply can't accept there are millions and millions people out there that love, buy and play Gran Turismo games because what they are and waste no time in arguing about what they are not, or what they should be from subjective and personal perspective of some "honest critic" or whatever.
Reality-check would really come handy sometimes.
We can all be constructive critics or trolls or Forza-shills or MadSimBros or honest admirers of GT series that vocal their opinion just because they want their game to become better - but at the end, every single GT game in history has been a crazy commercial success and despite all criticisms, sometimes undeserved hate and unexplainable harshness of media (especially US), the formula developed by PD has been working without exception.
And GT6 can only improve on that formula.
My personal and subjective opinion agrees partially with those (SlipS?) who predict that GT6 will not surpass GT5 in sales, same as no "second entry" in the generation haven't surpassed initial entry, but all rules get broken sometimes - and GT6 is shaping up to be such exception. 77M consoles outthere, 2 years of consecutive "GT Academy" push through mainstream media, crazy levels of cooperation with automotive industry, strongest ever coverage of game in mainstream media and automotive-media and potentialy review scores better then GT5's. And there is a crisis outthere, many peple do not have money for buyng new fancy consoles.
And also I am absolutely sure GT6 will surpass both GT5 and 10M in its lifetime if Sony somehow allows for PS3-backward compatibility on PS4 at some point with all functionality (online and wheels) during the time we wait for the GT7.
This way or another, GT5 is on the track to surpass 11M in the time GT6 releases (December 2013). Also, it will additionally contribute to amazing 20M+ sales PD managed to achieve since 2008-2013, with the potential to surpass the combined sales of insane "PS2 generation results" where they topped 28M combined - and that was the period when they didn't have even remotely good competition they have today. Think about that for a minute.
Sometimes people love to think they are the only people in the world and that only their opinion is valid. What a strange world we live in.

:tup: Didn't I read somewhere that Kaz said he was going to make GT, only for those who love Gran Turismo?

(5.3 million) is the 2nd best-selling. That says a lot about this franchise... I don't think GT6 will hit 10 million(i'm thinking 7.5 MAX when its all said and done with due to PS4)
