This isn't a huge surprise. Nintendo is fairly close to Turn 10 Studios and they are a great bunch of guys always having fun with cars.

What fucking Microsoft needs to do is recognize that Forza is one of their best brands and start really competing hardware and simulation wise with Gran Turismo. They got a lot of playability right with the livery, online tournaments and tuning options, but the game suffers from severe "this is boring Single Player" goals which I think Gran Turismo does FAR better with their world and championship presentations.
