Meh, GT sells better... Cry more.

I'm quite interested in your logic here.
On PS3 there is only GT5. On 360 there is Forza 2, 3 (released before GT5), 4 & Horizon.
Surely GT5 has no excuse but to sell better. It only became available 1475 days after the launch of the PS3. Also:
- One title from a critically acclaimed series ... shouldn't sell better than the single highest selling from a series of 4 games?
- Forza 2 was released on a the competing Xbox 360 platform 550 days after the launch of the Xbox 360.Market starts to get saturated with used copies of a racing game. Only about 1/3 the time GT5 had to build up an install base of PS3s
- and the second, Forza 3 becoming available 1432 days after the launch of the Xbox 360.Market now being saturated with used copies of 2 & and saturation can commence with 3. Even more people could get into the racing genre without creating a retail 'sale', and this is especially true if they own an Xbox 360.
- All this happened 398 days before GT5 was released.PS3 had a chance to build up a bigger install base.
Yes - it is true that GT5 may make the claim that it sold better than the single highest selling Forza title, but - wasn't everything geared up so precisely for this to play out exactly as it did? How big of a victory is this?
It doesn't matter how many gran turismo games are released, it will always outsell forza by millions, you know why?
Brand name, gran turismo is a huge name, while forza is a niche title that relies on multiple releases, because 1 forza game alone won't sell at all.
