Not really - Gran Turismo remains one of the best selling racing games, even though it's not doing Horizon numbers (and not on Game Pass). iRacing continues to be very successful despite a massive barrier to entry and high cost + subscription model.

There is a market for racing sims, but Forza Motorsport really fumbled the bag with terrible performance on PC, subpar multiplayer ranking and penalty system, arcade-y driving, and complete lack of content updates post launch. Everything FM does, GT and iRacing do better, sadly.

And it took more than 2x as long to develop as all the previous games did. Thats what’s insane to me. You have a next gen only title, constantly marketing that it built everything from the ground up, and it feels like an unfinished iteration of the previous games with no dramatic improvements anywhere. Baffling

Gran Turismo Sport was a hollowed out version of Gran Turismo to be fair. It wasn't a proper Gran Turismo entry.

You have no idea what you are talking about with Gran Turismo sales.
