1 - He's at it again
Goddamit, Bernie, get a life and let us play F1!

Sometimes it seems Ecclestone doesn't even care about the future of the sport. Maybe its because he's old.

Polyphony Digital are trying to get more support for F1 Cars in Gran Turismo 5, so they don't need to make F1 games anymore.

2 games more profitable than 1. So yea they do. F1 sells a lot especially in EU. No where near GT sales but sales are high regardless

@Kyur4

to be fair, the worst thing they could do is make barely any improvements over previous installments

it would take a retard of the highest degree to screw the game up after Sony laid down the groundwork

5 - There's already an amazing F1 car in GT
If Polyphony boosts the number of F1 cars for the GT series, we probably won't even need another F1 title through Sony.

11 - I hate greedy people
Sony is doing the sport a service in releasing an F1 game every year. Greedy sons of bit@#s can't see or understand anything as far as they're check books. $15 million is a lot of money for license fees when you factor in the fact that they are promoting a sport and therefore making money for F1. Its not like a movie license in which the movie benefits from having a crummy tie-in game.
