Thank god we've finally got some sort of clarification. Many people (including me) were wondering whether this would be a mainline series entry (i.e. reboot of the series with a name change) or whether it was just like a prologue (but without the "prologue" bit). It's finally came directly from Sony that it's pretty much a prologue but with more content. I still don't think it's the next mainline entry in the series; that's reserved for GT7. I think this is just something to hold people off whilst receiving revenue to help further GT7 development, although this is just speculation of my part. I mean apparently it's full price too if we take Amazon's listing as word?

"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's president and CEO Jim Ryan provided some clarity in the wake of Sony's conference at Paris Games Week.
"We're not announcing Gran Turismo 7 at this stage," he told Eurogamer.
"Fair to say [series director Kazunori Yamauchi] has been making these games for some considerable time now. I think it's reasonable to assume that something else might come down the road. Is it a Prologue? No, I think it'll be more than that.
"The old days, when the games were offline, the experience was defined by what's on the disc. You had a distinction between a Prologue and a full GT, it was very stark. When the game becomes more of an online connected experience, that distinction blurs. This will be much more than a Prologue type experience."
