You can also look at Naughty Dog, another first party developer. Three Uncharted games + Last Of Us on PS3, just UC4+LOU2 on PS4. Half the output purely in number of games, on a console that is by all accounts far easier to work with than PS3.

One thing is most developers have learned they can make more money with much less time and invested resources by adding different "packs" or additional content to an original existing title with a price to buy rather than coming out with an entirely new game.
ACC for instance with the gt4 pack is one example, just by adding cars and/or track packs they can make any series of racing you want to see building off the original base games coding.
IL 2 Sturmovik combat flight sim is another example on the PC that does a lot of the add on type of content as well.
As a consumer I actually prefer this method of utilizing a game to keep it new and fresh at smaller bites at a time with pricing but keeps the game where you are still playing it.
I think this will be more of the future and the main time you will see complete changes for many franchises is when the games engine must be upgraded to use newer tech features that are not possible with the older game specs.

Just found this on Car and Driver as well.

Already posted on the previous page. He's literally the only journalist on the internet claiming it will be out on launch day, pretty safe to say he is mistaken.

The GT twitter account acts like nothing special happened. Sure, Covid must be a part of the problem but something else happened at Poly. GT7 was the first game showed with gameplay, menus... And three months later not even a single news, picture or interview? Where are the interviews with Kaz? Poly was forced by Sony to unveil GT7 but the game is still years away?

Car and driver magazine seems to think GT7 is coming out on Nov. 12. They are the only ones saying that at the moment. Could be BS. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.caranddriver.com/news/amp32842358/gran-turismo-7-playstation-5-price-release-date/

Nice revisionism from you there. GTS is NOTHING like a traditional GT game. At. All. Even PD knew that. It was about destroying and breaking everything about GT and doing something NEW. Sport mode. Everything they have added since then has been.... substandard and not worthy of the game name.

Why the missions/drift mode/car settings/hotlaps/custom races/custom parts/photo mode/online lobbies/online event don't count for you there?

Not worthy and substandard for you... For me GT Sport is the best GT ever in every part (or almost every part).
And the VR mode is a dream came true for any GT fan and any car fan, getting inside the game, inside every car and track this way and at this level of detail is mind-blowing and mind-hacking. Even if it can't for now play with more IA and online, but it is huge the mind effect, like a drug.
Also in 2D, I remember I couldn't focus on driving the first 2 weeks because of how beautiful and detailed all was in GTS compared to previous GT , graphics, sounds, physics, ... (that were awesome each one at their time too).

These are confusing times indeed. GT is a major Sony IP but it's not getting the treatment it deserves. The other games in the July showcase have seemingly got more attention, with extra footage and trailers appearing in the most recent showcase. Several questions have to be asked here: Was PD forced to show something in the July showcase? Was it rushed? Did PD decide to release the original trailer on their own accord? Do Sony care about the game? Why haven't we heard anything? Is that a problem with PD or Sony? Do Sony want to keep things hidden from us in order to surprise everybody? How much longer do we have to wait? Is Sony afraid to announce a delay?
Letting this game fall by the wayside is worrying, so you have to question the priorities of Sony's Management and PR Department. They can't leave us hanging, we want to know what's happening!

It could also be...that Polyphony decided to show something off, there's no ulterior motives to the July showcase, and that the next trailer will come when it comes?
I swear to god, GT fans are absolute masters of acting like the sky is falling and playing Chicken Little, while also thinking that Kaz is doing some sort of 4D chess while also thinking that he was forced to do something from Sony, when Sony literally has Kaz on the Playstation board and there is very few people who could realistically override him.

Oh, I'm making a ludicrous claim!
Wow, that's big of you to say that about me and all of the other GT fans on this site. Damn. Can't we ask questions?
After Gran Turismo 4, the long and bumpy wait to Gran Turismo 5 left lasting psychological damage on fans haha. I’m joking but I think there’s some truth to that in a way. We are all afraid of worst case scenario because we’ve seen our hopes and expectations not met.

Yup.
If you're in retail it sure pays to take advantage of the holiday season.

If it drops close to the PS5's release, IMHO it'd be nice to get another one with, say, 2 years left in the cycle.
I wouldn't expect major changes to the game's format, but a few more cars, some more tracks and updates to trackside details such as grass, trees, crowds, birds or whatever will help bring life to the tracks, something that was sorely lacking in GT1->6 IMHO. The only thing missing from those old tracks was the sound of crickets.
In the interests of balance, I should say that I'm stoked that the days of cardboard-cutout trees seem to have been left behind for the most part. 👍
