I'm ok with this. GT6 Prologue for PS3, GT6 for PS4.
Just take my money Kazunori!

Looks like the Last of Us won't be the PS3's swansong.
From third parties there'll be quite a few 'swansongs' before the PS3 is up.

Jesus Christ, WHY!?
WTF?!
WTF?!
Best call for Sony. I don't get how people are up in arms about this.
Sony needs money. Money will come from this. That money will be funneled back into GT7 (?) development. Why on earth would they sink tons of cash into a game that could potentially cost more than it makes?
This engine is already around, the assets are there, it's much easier for them to publish it on PS3. I want Sony to be around for a long time, not take risks just so they can satiate hungry gamers who, more than likely, have no intention of buying on launch day anyway to get a new Gran Turismo.

GT6 to keep the Europe happy until the 2014 PS4 release date.
Why not?
Reduce the PS3 Price, Drop down some hot new games, Beyond Two Souls, Last of Us, Grant Turismo 6.
Make the PS3 go out with a bang.
Also it makes sense business wise, they are still making PS3s that they need to sell, and this would kill the WiiU competition completely for the Holidays.

Compatible with GT6 - PSVita ?
Drop some hot new games, sure. Don't drop your biggest IP and console trump card.

No doubt it would take far too long to get this out on PS4, so PS3 it has to be. It's unfortunate timing, but Polyphony only have themselves to blame.
Stupid to a consumer, maybe. Smart for Sony though.

More like Sony is expecting a bad start for the PS4 because it'll be cost-prohibitive (especially in Europe and Japan) and they want to have a slam dunk sure thing product with appeal to a massive install base to drive revenue and bring in money while PS4 gets off the ground.
Oddly enough, I think Sony is right on the money here. My hope is that we get a Cross-Buy version on VITA to go along with it.

Gamestop is expecting shortages.
Exactly, they don't know how the PS4 will turn out, you don't build a business on uncertainty. They have this massive install base with the PS3, why not make use of it for the upcoming holidays.

Probably not feasible.

Not if they are on different platforms.
Was thinking the same thing only the PS4 one would be Gran Turismo 7 Prologue and not GT6 Ultra HD.

Drive Club is getting a funeral whether Sony releases GT6 or not.
Racing games of that stature don't command the same appeal in the west and the PS4 won't be a huge draw elsewhere on the globe where racing games hold more stock.
The audience they can draw from is even further limited when you factor in, as Metalmurphy noted, the likelihood of hardware shortages.
Drive Club's best case scenario is that it bangs PGR3 numbers at launch. GT6 won't affect that. And the hardcore racing enthusiasts will pick up both.

Easy money from the EU who doesn't get the PS4 yet to help fund the GT6 PS4 edition.

And GT6 on PS3 will sell more copies and generate more revenue than both of them combined. Somehow I don't think they'll feel too bad about losing the war of graphic eye candy.

I want it on PS4, but Day 1 regardless.

I wonder if this will be the mistake that final gets SCE to step in and tell PD to short there shit out.
A ps3 GT game launching next to the ps4 just seems like a disaster for both GT AND the ps4
I am sure Sony would love GT on vita but Polyphony just does what it wants while they still pop out 10 million sellers.

I have no clue as to how Polyphony would fit GT6 onto a 4GB Vita game card. That platform really should have had a Gran Turismo by now, but hey, Sony.

You're assuming that Sony isn't okay with this. Are you forgetting that Naughty Dog is launching their new IP in the same year as the PS4? Even though the start of a generation is viewed as being the best time to launch new IP. The PS3 probably still has another 10m+ left in it. Especially once the price drop happens. Put GT6 on top of that and they're in pretty good shape to continue turning a solid profit with that console.

Doesn't make sense that it wouldn't hit PS4 as well and/or a Prologue edition which they've done since forever?
I'd be shocked if it drops this year

The install base for PS3 is obviously why they are going this route, its guaranteed money but the timing really couldnt be worse.

I'd count on it being cross-gen. GT5 cars can be scaled for PS4 according to Polyphony.

It would be totally and completely fine if the PS4 played PS3 games, but, well...
