It's clearly not a smart move.

The great thing is that E3 is right around the corner, so we won't have to wait too long for the next update. It won't be as hard as it was with GT5 and the gaps between its updates.

What are you talking about?
This is what a poster said:
I clearly showed it did not and for GT6 it will not.

So without Gran Turismo you would buy a PS4?
The PS3's early years were pretty pathetic, so it really doesn't support your point.

What lol. The PS3 struggled for a bit there. You don't remember the PS3 has no games meme?

more because of the high price than GoW, though.

At E3 2014 maybe.
Didn't someone here said that there would be no standards? lol
But yeah, not a chance in hell with 1200 cars.

Were you there for the PS3 launch? It was a shambles, so it's no surprise GoW2 did fine. The PS4 launch will be anything but based on what they've said, so either GT6 bombs (not bloody likely) or early PS4 adoption will be lower than it might otherwise have been due to people sticking with PS3 for this.
Exactly. Something like 70 million people own a ps3 - but Sony should put it's leading franchise on a new machine when 10 million+ bought GT5? Use your heads people
Nope, where did you get that idea from my posts?. There is nothing on the PS4 so far announced for launch that would make me buy one.
Of course they're making a PS4 version but they won't talk about it this year.
Their strategy is clear, the game is not bound to PS3 but it's being built as scalable.
This year they sell GT6 to PS3 users and Drive Club to PS4 early adopters.
Next year they announce GT6 PS4 edition with full features, all DLCs included and so on.
Annoucing GT on PS4 this year would ruin the plan, so I wouldn't expect a PS4 GT announcement anytime soon, except for vague hints like 'yeah at some point of course there will be a GT game on PS4'.
they might be expecting the ps4 to be a slow starter, and it might make sense to not throw every big franchise at it if it might not make a profit at the start. this way the ps4 will build a steady fanbase over time, while the ps3 makes them a decent profit.
also, something something two gran turismos per playstation something something.

Nah, the game library was lacking as well.
They can still port this to the PS4, which may be announced in e3, so we don't have all the facts yet.
Best selling IP on a brand new console with no guarantee in sales. Or best selling IP on a machine where GT5 did 10 million+?
I was hoping it would be on both.
I know, and it may well prove to be. I just think the "WHY ISN'T THIS PS4 LOL SONY" is a bit short sighted from some people.
Yep seems pretty likely. I expect GT6 PS4 Edition for fall 2014. With it being announced at Gamescom 2014.

This means they predict PS4 to be a slow burner which I think is correct. It does make sense to keep PS3 alive and kicking while PS4 gains momentum.
Someone who buys the PS3 this year gets a ton of great games and a cheap old ps3 backlog to power their habit for a couple years. Then they can jump on the PS4 train later.
Its not controversial. Its not dumb. It makes perfect sense.
Only hardcore GAF members wants Companies to outright kill platforms overnight and expect 50 million people to go out and buy a $400 console "just because".

Why would Sony care about you holding off from buying a PS4 for 6 months? They know as soon as they show off the PS4 version, you will be trading in your PS3's and you will have now bought two versions of GT and have easy access to buying a PS4. This is win/win all around for them.

I thought they made it clear that GT6 is a PS3 game.
People need to stop with the wishful thinking.
A GT game will come to PS4, but in the future. Not now.

Yes, also fastest GT to come out after it's announcement right? Fucking awesome.

How do you figure there's no guarantee of sales? GT is a big draw for people, I'm sure if it was on PS4 at launch, it'd sell incredibly well.

Dat trailer! Definitely excited, can't wait to pre-order the game.
On a side note, people are delusional if they actually think releasing GT6 in ps3 will affect the ps4 launch. If anything gt6 is a great great gift for all the loyal ps3 and GT fans that waited 4 years to see GT5 released on ps3.

Or launches on the PS3 in the fall, patch to play on PS4 a few months later.
Besides, isn't Drive Club basically filling in for the usual Ridge Racer Playstations usually launch with but obviously isn't going to with the PS4? People gotta have something to play on day 1.

Typical overreactions as usual. The implication that the PS4 is in dire straits because GT6 is not on it (at the moment) is hilarious. I remember a 599.99 PS3 selling out at launch with no compelling software whatsoever. So this is GAF typically wanting their company of choosing to make terrible business decisions that would benefit them. Hilarious.
It's more about preparing for the future or just looking at short term gains. Get people buying PS4s real early and you have them locked in for the next 5+ years.
Announcing a PS4 version with a different subtitle 6 months later probably will happen.

This makes absolutely no sense - this would be a perfect game to put on the PS4 to get more people to buy it.

RIP Evolution Studios and PS4.
Not surprising this isn't coming to Vita too. At the rate that Polyphony develop games we wouldn't be seeing a PS3/Vita cross-buy release until 2016 if it was.

How is that preparing for the future if you have to kill your console to support the next hot thing? Makes the work Sony did to push the Playstation worthless if they don't make money with it now.

I guess they took the KojiPro route with their engine. Built one at the start of this gen that ended up having problems and just kicked it the curb so that they could build a flexible one that'll work across generations. Smart move in the end.
Exactly - but I don't see this as short sightedness from Sony. They have a captive audience for GT6 already - and it no doubt cost a lot of money to make, and have been in development for a long time.
I understand wanting your favourite franchises to be on PS4 for a compelling reason to get one day one (hell I'm waiting for something to really grab me as a launch title and this might have been it) - but I understand the thinking behind it. Especially with a GT6 Platinum edition on PS4 in the middle on next year or something.
