These articles about PD & auto manufacturers actually made me wonder where PD is heading as a company and how important the GT franchise is to PD in terms of revenue generation? Would future delays with the game even be a matter to PD?
We are starting to see more and more collaborations between PD and the auto industry. Nissan GTR's multifunction display, Citroen GT, X1's are some examples of designs. Then we got prototype simulations such as the Toyota FT-86, and a few bunch. This made me question, why is PD making the GT franchise? Yes, it's a cash cow, but it's also a way to promote its simulation technology to auto manufacturers, who will then go to PD for design and simulation feedback. And once auto design & simulation becomes the big cash cow, PD might actually put GT as a fun side project and not devote all its resources on the game. I'm sure auto manufacturers pay a ton of money to design and simulate cars, and if PD can tap into that channel, it'll definitely make more money than the GT franchise.
I guess PD isn't just a game developer anymore like Turn10. Gamers might hate it, but the fact is PD is moving towards being a consultant and developer for auto manufacturers rather than solely a game developer. The gaming aspect might just be used to promote PD to the public and provide another steady source of income to PD. And if the GT franchise is no longer viewed as top priority at PD...who knows what the future holds for gamers?
Didnt see that, must have been distracted 
I think zavvi is the cheapest of all at most games...
I see PD getting involved with these auto manufactures to make GT a better game. How are they getting away from GT.
