PS4 ain't coming in September.
Why not? They announced it earlier than usual, maybe there's a reason why.

Yeah that doesn't make any sense. They would have announced it by now. Since they didn't, PS3/PS4 is the only thing that makes sense.

Yes but the ps4 is SONY's future, you would think they would want to make sure it gets of to a good start...
Why not? PS4 only is not smart yes, but PS3 only isn't either. PS3/PS4 is the only way to go IMO.
Vita was announced January 2011 and we knew a lot about it. Still launched in December 2011 in Japan, and February 2012 in the west.
PS4 was announced in February 2013 and we know little about it.
Putting GT6 out on the PS3 around the same time as the PS4 launches(which won't feature BC) would be one of, if not the most stupid things Sony will have ever done.Because GT6 won't be a PS4 title? Why show PS3 games at a PS4 event?
Which is why they'll announce it right before E3 on the PS Blog.if Sony announces GT6 for the PS3 during E3, I expect boos
But yeah fuck them for releasing the best Driving sim ever.
This has to happen. Period.E3 2013, PD announces it to be a cross gen title first released on PS3 and 6 months down the line for PS4.
*I can haz a dream*
Of course it isn't that easy. But they should be able to get it out early 2014 for PS4. Not releasing GT6 at all for PS4 is the problem IMO. I think it is fine if PS3 releases first.Are you guys under some impression that you can just pop a ps3 game in the microwave and it pops out as an upres'd ps4 version? I see this in Last of Us and Beyond threads all the time. Ports take time and resources too, and Polyphony isn't exactly the most efficient company in the world as it is. Im sure sony would also rather a game built from the ground up (drive club) not get any limelight or sales stolen on the ps4 front by a port. This game has probably been cooking for 2+ years, hell for all we know it was supposed to come out last year but had to be delayed internally or something.

Thursday? Not in America it's not.
Oh this is delicious. Only Sony can fuck things up so badly. Sony sure wants people to buy ps3's over ps4's.
This would be like if there was a release of a new monster hunter game on psp a week before the vita launched and was also incompatible to play on the Vita.
Beautiful.

I know this is hard to believe but Sony is still going to sell a shitload of PS3 units after the PS4 comes out.
It's analogous to something like Pokemon B2W2 coming out more than a full year after the 3DS released in Japan.
Would not shock me to see Sony developed games on the PS3 even in 2014.
The difference is that everyone could buy a 3DS and play B2W2. Also we're getting a new pokemon game this year while we're probably going to give Polyphony another 7 years to get something on the PS4.
Gran Turismo 5 sales
Europe: 5.73m
NA: 2.41m
Japan/Asia: 1.05m
The bad thing about this possibility is that it pretty much guarantees PS4 launches in 2014 for Europe, so there would need to be a big fall game for this market. Also, next-gen isn't going to start for Japan for a while, regardless of whether they get the first release, so it'd do numbers there too.
Sony have made worse decisions this gen.
Not everyone is going toget rid of their ps3s as soon as the ps4 is released. There will still be tens of millions of eager ps3 gamers itching for new games to play who couldnt care less about BC or ps4. Sony has always been good about keeping those gamers happy, especially with mainstream franchises like GT. you guys are making a big deal about nothing calling this the dumbest thing Sony's ever done. It's a smart business decision.
Danish and nordic online shop for games, dvds and gagets also lists Gran Turismo 6 for PS3.
They are usually reliable, as far as my experience goes
Maybe it won't matter all that much in the long run, but it would defiantly send a message to the masses that the PS4 is the system of choice for gamers if they had a game at launch that helped move a ton of systems.
They would probably be able to ride a wave of having a console that was hard to find and something that people really desired.
That's going to be harder to pull off without having your biggest franchise on PS4.
It's easier to sell a $60 game than a $400+ system. Only the rich early adopters will buy PS4, killing PS3 entirely this year and moving entire resources to PS4 is a moronic. That being said, so is launching to big new IP's just when PS4 is around the corner (Last of Us and Beyond)
Why is it moronic to release big games at the point where their potential to sell is greatest?

and why wouldnt there be both? Like some devs said already, it is relatively easy to develop for PS4 and then scale back same engine for PS3... and in PS4, you simply up the graphics, fps, number of cars, poly count, while base features are the same.
difference in fps and graphics will be easy sell for PS4... i dont doubt that anyone who has the money will "upgrade" to GT6 PS4.

How confident are we that PS4 launches this year in Europe?
GT6 PS3 this year, GT Prologue on the PS4 2014.
Because you need momentum for your new system that's going to have sell for the next 7+ years.
Publishers were still releasing big games for the PSP instead of moving on to the Vita when it was first released, and we all see how well that strategy works out.
I think people have it backwards: it would be dumb for Sony to release GT6 on the PS4 at launch if you ask me.
they will be leaving behind a 80 Million install base & they will be rushing a GT game on new hardware & not pushing it as well as they should. if it's on PS3 they get to capitalize off of the bigger install base & the fact that they can take what they have already done with GT5 & push it to a higher level & take their time making the PS4 GT game.
Still not seeing any reasons. If Apple can launch stuff in days from announcing I don't think seven months is too much to ask.
