Nobody outside a generous 1% will give a shit about VR, if GT Sport doesn't ship with GPS Course Maker it's DOA.
The problem really is the framerate. Games cannot lose even a single frame in VR. PCars will probably be the choice for PC gamers; but as far as PSVR is concerned, GT7 is the best bet to deliver the goods, that is if it supports PSVR.
Man you better pray you are right. If you are wrong your post is not going to be forgotten.

It won't if GT sells big it will just be GT .
It has been that way since the PS1 gen it won't help the genre.
Last I saw (checking with quick Google) was 2.37.

So really, really low for a mainline release vs 1 through 5 sales. I figure it's an outlier though due to the release coming after PS4 hit, GT6 just not looking like it really offered much more than GT5 (I mean in general perception not whether it actually did or not) and the huge swing to PS4 worldwide and in particular in PAL territories.
Long story short I struggle to believe it's any more than 2.5 million tops. I think I saw someone note it's not even listed on PD website anymore which would be telling.
I don't think this will affect GT7 that much though. So long as it's good I expect it to sell more in line with the rest of the franchise (I'm guessing 8 million or so given decrease in sales in some regions and likely smaller install base at launch but I can also see it hitting 10 million too if the launch timing is good and the title is good).
In 2014 we know that GT6 atleast sold over 400k in the first half of the year in eu.
Dont know how much it sold at launch.

GT attracts people who have no interest in racing games but are interested in real driving situations, aka me. I have never purchased another racing game except burnout and that was for action not racing.
question - why are there no combat racing games anymore? I always thought the added excitement meshed well with racing....

There are people out there wanting to make potentially great combat racing arcade games... People just aren't taking enough interest... http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1094214&page=1

Trying to claim that sim racers are done because of Forza's performance reminds me of when people were saying consoles were done after the Wii U flopped. Forza sells a fraction of what GT sells. With the PS4's popularity, a new GT will sell a ton. Forza will be bundled to hell and back and they'll get their 2-3 million.

How did Forza 6 sell compared to Project Cars?

The thing is that Gran Turismo 6 came out at a really weird time, so its sales aren't indicative of the current state of the franchise. As long as Kaz brings out a quality product in GT7, then it's definitely going to sell around 10 million.
GT is still a mainstream franchise, I don't know why people keep insisting on comparing it to Forza, here are GT Academy stats from last year, GT Academy saw HUGE viewership increase gained from Asia & The Middle East. GT Academy is by far the biggest "e-sport" in the world.

Not even surprised at the low Forza 6 sales. It's been a yearly franchise for the last 4 years and people in general won't really see the stylistic differences unless they take the time to analyze it.
Releasing a game so quickly so often will obviously lead to burnout. Just look at what happened with Need for Speed and what will soon happen to Assassin's Creed. I mean hell, even NFS isn't yearly anymore because of that issue.
Doubt this will change anything anyway. We'll see Forza Horizon 3 launch next fall with similar numbers probably.
Best wishes.

MS should add rally game or combat driving game if they really need to have racing game yearly. It need mixing up IMO.

If there is that big of a difference between the two things, then probably not. I was thinking that people who like football/soccer would also like things like street soccer for example. No need for the "what?"
I guess there are two different rugby games?

Thanks for the chart, but i was thinking more about if there are two different rugby video games
There's Rugby World Cup 2015, which debuted at No.39 a couple of weeks ago.

GT7 is going to be huge.
PS4 has an insane momentum in Europe, if PD manages to ship GT7 by the end of next year along side a PS4 Slim, it's going to be crazy.

I'm really excited to see the improvements GT7 will have over GT5 and 6. Sound has been the series' biggest weakness, but Polyphony did hire the former Forza audio lead, Mike Caviezel.

Ooops. Yeah, one's a Rugby Union game, the other's a Rugby League game. I doubt that many people in the South of England bought the Rugby League game. That one's more targeted at Australia and the North of England.

Well I think GT5 was also a mess from a navigational and content point of view. I thought it had lost its sense of what it used to be. Not sure how GT6 is.
At this point I don't really care how well any of the racing games sell. I just want GT7 to be a generational leap over 5 and 6. The series has grown awfully stagnant in terms of gameplay and improvements and Forza 6 is probably the best simcade racer I've played to date.
I DO think it would be in MS's best interest to have a 3rd racing game like Project Gotham reboot or a Rally Motorsport to give Forza Motorsport an "every 3 years" cycle.

I have a random question. How did you guys get Forza 6's (and the series' other games') numbers? I'm just curious.

Damn what a decline. Perhaps the XBO's sales are affecting it.
Pretty much.
GT7 will be big.

Mad Max is basically an open world car combat game.

No. Rugby Union is the original sport, Rugby League and American Football are offshoots of it. Three similar but different sports with different ruling bodies, rules, fanbases and players.
From knowing numbers for games which charted above and below them
Partially yeah, look at the sales point of 360 at fall 2009 and 2011 and compare that with the Xbox One, so no doubt that will be affectng it.

Yeah, the latter... there's going to be standard cars in GT7, Kaz admitted that much.

Pushsquare is just referring to the same BS numbers from the Sony litigation that has been found to be BS, probably derived from the Chartz numbers of when the litigation has been filed, before august '14, probably less then 8 months after the game has been released.
