    Like the Gran Turismo series, you either love it or hate it and appreciate it for its nuances and even its shortcomings because it’s less about what might frustrate you as a gamer and more about the brand recognition of the franchise.

    Still, with numbers like 4 million (let’s see how many of those actually morph into actual units sold) it’s hard to argue that the game is doing okay for itself despite some of the outrage of the change in the series’ direction and the stop and shoot (and stop and stab) control scheme.
