With the utmost respect to Slightly Mad Studios, we reckon that Project CARS has proved a particularly big deal on the PlayStation 4 because there's no sign of Gran Turismo 7 arriving any time soon. Sony helped publisher Bandai Namco market the simulation racer here in the UK, and it was clearly a shrewd move, as the title has sold 63 per cent of its copies on the Japanese giant's new-gen system in Britain.
That's over double what it managed on the Xbox One, and more than Microsoft's machine and physical PC purchases combined. Of course, it doesn't take into account digital sales, and it's worth noting that there are comparable games available on both of these competing formats. Still, the PlayStation maker must be looking at that number and rubbing its hands together. After all, assuming that it arrives within the next decade or so, Polyphony Digital's hotly anticipated sequel is going to be a serious commercial smash.

I'm a big fan of GT6, too. I'm not sure why it got so much stick, tbh.
@get2sammyb I never got GT6 because it was so late in the PS3's cycle, but if it was like GT5, navigating the menus and loading up the races took too long. And the non-premium cars spoiled the presentation of the races.
Yep, the GT series is still my number one race sim. I'll have Project Cars in the next day or two so hopefully I'll enjoy it as much as Turismo. It's a downer that my Logitech wheel isn't compatible with the PS4 though because I have a boss setup with a Playseat chair.
Gran turismo is and always will be the definitive driving sim. I've had quite the love affair with drive club and am looking to purchase PCars at some point.but when gt7 arrives,all other driving games will be obsolete !fact!
I'm loving Project Cars. I've never really been a GT fan. To me it's all style over substance. I think like every thing, it's good we all have different tastes. But me, I'll be sticking with Project Cars.
I know part of the reason I'm interested in Project Cars is that GT 7 is probably no where even close to release. I don't even know if 2017 is a likely scenario. So, hopefully Project Cars fills that void for a while.
The ps4 has a comparable title? Incorrect... Project cars is excellent, the console has severely lacked a decent racing game, something Xbox one never has to worry about because they seem far more competent at releasing a forza game than Sony do with gt. F1 is out next month too so thank God for multiplats!
@mikey85 You've played neither PCs or GT7 yet you know the quality of both. Hmmm. It's a good thing neither professional reviewers nor jury systems work on your logic. Personally I prefer to play games before I make judgement.
Doesn't the PS4 have Driveclub?? I know the Xbox obviously has the Forza franchise and PC has a quite a few driving games too although I can't think of any that have released as recently as Driveclub did on the PS4.
I've spent a lot of time tweaking the pad controls on this and it still doesn't suit me. I need a new wheel pronto.
@ApostateMage
Turn sensitivity to 0
Speed sensitivity to 60ish
controller filtering to 60ish
and steering dampening off (advanced options)
This works beautifully for me and Ive been putting some sick times down on the time trials
@Flurpsel I'll try that, cheers mate.
@ApostateMage I just checked I actually have speed sensitivity to 70 and controller filtering to 75
@Eldritch Jesus who poked you with a stick. 😉 dude I've been playing games since 1988 so I know what to expect . I know gt7 will be brilliant because it always has been brilliant! And project cars,well I never even said anything about the quality of it . I'm sure you've never passed judgment on a game you've never played have you . Get ta facts right before you mouth off next time
