Vintook
At the end of the day, its success will be measured based on sales, and
will be crowned on that criteria alone.
GPL is the reigning king crowned by the minority, unfortunately.
It's a superb simulation, but out of reach to your average racer. This is
where GP3 will excel. The market is driven by sales, and as such, you're
more likely to see a GP4 than you will a GPL2. ;(
So which one really is king? Time will tell.
Cheers,
Rod.

When you see the monthly PC charts, what's it based on? Sales.
When you see Top 40 music charts, what's it based on? Sales.
What simulation is more likely to generate a sequel? The ones that sell
well.
Don't put words in my mouth.
Cheers,
Rod.

Exactly...we have played GPL for almost 2 years now and interest has not
depleted much....you think a sub-par product will last that long?

Ah sir. Your critical eloquence surpasses that of the masters. Twain,
Mencken, Swift, Orwell, Shaw, et all, are all rolling in their graves
tonight as you add yourself to the list of purveyors of their fine art.
