@AJDarkstar huh? The next GT...GT7 will most likely be a launch title for PS5 so we're looking at December this year...that would make it around 3 years development since GTSport release... Forza 7 was released a few days after GTSport so that would make it 3 years development which is if my maths serve me right, nowhere near "significantly shorter development time". I like FM as much as I like GT, I find fanboys for either to be not only annoying but bordering on stupid, but as a software developer I know where the time and money was spent on each title and whether you or I prefer Forza far more people prefer GT, over 80 million copies sold compared to just over 10 million for each series does not lie.
@AJDarkstar I'm fairly sure they decided to skip the biannual release to concentrate on the development of a next gen platform release and not because "they couldn't top Forza7". I love the Forza series and have probably spent more time playing it than I have GT series but everyone who knows anything about software development will admit there's a huge gap in the level of detail and polish between GT and almost every other game out there, let alone any driving/racong game.

Re: Gran Turismo 7's PS5 Release Date Has Sparked Some Discussion
@Cycologist lol, 80 million is still 8 times more copies sold, regardless of the number of consoles. Your argument doesn't actually make a point.
