I'm not really into driving games myself but they seem to have a pedigree as graphical demonstrations of the power of new systems, like this is the reason you bought this new console. Drive Club very much fell into this mold in the PS4's promotion even if it was delayed outside the launch window.



Additionally I'd say Sony had a pretty weak year in terms of PS4 exclusives (so much got pushed to 2015), so some diehard fanboys might get a bit more willing to die on strange hills.
