GT7 is just trailing behind GT3 to become the biggest Gran Turismo ever in dollar sales, and the biggest game in the franchise.

GT7 is the racing sim of all racing sim. I still play it a lot.
Closes thing to playing A-Spec in my childhood is GT7, brings me right back to 2001.

Check out RaceRoom, iRacing or Assetto. They are substantially better when it comes to simulation.

I won't ever have VR due to eye issues, but I heard it's great. I love that they were able to do mostly the entire game with it. GT7 is awesome. I am about to hit 2500 miles of racing in it!

^well, yes this is true.

And if you read the original comments...

1) I mentioned bundles first stating I doubt any GT game will ever surpass GT3 in units sold as it moved a ton of hardware bundles.

2) responded to a poster stating GT3 sold so much better in North America over GT4 as it was heavily bundled compared to the others.

Again nowhere did I imply "bundles were bad".

You very likely did not mean that implication, but unfortunately it's become very popular these days for console warriors to use bundling of Sony 1P games to downplay the actual commercial success of their games. It's become a way of saying "the only reason Sony games even sell so well is because of bundles".

Despite the fact that trackers like Circana/NPD do not count bundles in their software sales charts. So again, you probably didn't imply that when just mentioning GT3 was bundled with PS2s (although from memory, I don't specifically remember coming across many PS2 bundles with GT3 in NA, or even a lot of NA PS2 bundles in general. Then again I didn't pay attention to gaming news as much back then vs. today).

That said, sadly you have to acknowledge there are a lot of disingenuous and bad faith folks online who default to the bundles argument to downplay sales of Sony games (but never with Nintendo, who have a similar history of bundles, some aggressive at times).

Nah GT7 with VR is top sim.

I guess I am talking physics.

Saturo I belive said the same thing in the past. I never played them so I can't really judge.

I think people mistake force feedback with physics. Because I jump from acc and gt7 and the only difference is acc has a mind-blowing force feedback. Btw don't bother with ps5 version. Is rubbish gt7 definitely feels better but the PC version is something else.

Yes I know fanboys use bundles as a way to discredit Playstation sales. But it's an ill-fated argument as a game is most times included in a bundle because it will attract people to buy a console. Nobody rushes to buy a bad game so clearly the value proposition must be there to consider that game a system seller.

But yes GT3 was bundled a lot in North America upon launch and after. It was right after Sony gave the PS2 its first price cut and then dropped the bundle... It was the first true system seller for PS2 and they capitalized on that. They were being extra aggressive as GameCube and Xbox were launching in a few months and they wanted to expand their leads quickly and GT3 sold millions of PS2's for them that Quarter.

With that said. I don't come on this forum to engage in fanboy talks, so for me when I post I don't post with the intent to start fanboy conversations, so that thought about bundles didn't even cross my mind... As it's not something I would say.
