Forums - Sales Discussion - Gran Turismo 6 Undertracked? 2.5 Million Active Users

GT6 current sales per VGC:

PosGamePlatformYearGenrePublisherNorth AmericaEuropeJapanRest of WorldGlobal
1 Gran Turismo 6 PS3 2013 Racing Sony Computer Entertainment 0.40 1.19 0.35 0.49 2.43

However a recent article on GTPlanet states that the Aston Martin update was downloaded 2.5 million times since July 25th.

So that's 2.5 million "active" users since July 25th. That tells me that either VGC is undertracking GT6 by a good bit or it has awesome digital sales. Either way the game deserves way more sales.

Probably around 3 million I guess. Somehow this game is always in the charts, and it deserves all the sales but it should have come to PS4. Hope GT7 comes sooner rather than later. They at least have 450 cars fit for the sequel and with a bit of work they can get it around 600 within a year or two. PD is also seen at various locations capturing some new courses and recapturing some old ones. Hope they have some nice software to quickly add that up in the final game. I need a simracer on my PS4

GT is always undertracked here. We always have to wait for PD to release a statement about the numbers and then we get adjustments here. (In due time that is)



Wow that game must be good if they're still 2.5 mil active users. Or maybe they played it because of the update. Either way that's a good accomplishment for Sony. It's weird I heard it was bad but apparently that was fanboy bs



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

I always keep an eye out for this game when I'm out and about (Walmart, Target, etc) and I never see the damned thing. I grabbed GT5:XL Edition not long ago and was surprised at how much fun I had with it, and would like to get GT6, but not sure I care enough to buy it online and wait for it to be shipped.

I'm sure I'll see it sometime.

I do have the feeling that it's just due to PS3 and GT not being as popular here in the states as it is in Europe/Asia.

I also have the feeling I'll NOT have trouble finding GT7 in stores when that drops, lol.

only stuff I heard was the usual bashing of sequels like it looks too much like the last one or something no real legitimate complaints

It really is.

What I know : GT6 is an improved version of GT5.

I just got GT5 recently, and I've been a big Forza fan (well, I loved 1, 2, and 3, was sort of let down a little by 4, and HATED 5 enough to return an X1 for it). I had decided with the 360 that Forza was just better than GT from what I had read and heard.

But after playing it, I actually prefer it to any Forza game. Yes, some of the cars have poor models. Yes, (though I haven't personally noticed) some of the sounds aren't as good? I don't know, I just loved the crazy variety, all the weird/funny vehicles and modes. Variety was waaaaaaaaaay up there.

My 360 is now long closeted, but my PS3 still plays my Blurays and GT5:XL lol (and some Tekken games).

But yeah : the 360 dominated the US in 7th gen, and that created a kind of hive-mind mentality. Microsoft good. Sony bad. So obviously, GT bad. Only, that wasn't true (imho, and the rest of the world outside the US/UK). I wish I had known sooner.

Forza 5 was a launch title. It was most likely rushed. I guarantee Forza Horizons 2 is gonna be amazing. Forza is king of physics from what I read. Don't get me wrong I know gt as a whole is a amazing series. I just heard that gt6 was like Forza 5,rushed. But at least Forza 5 is starting to pump out a lot of free tracks . not a horrible game just not forza4.you should look into buying another one. Forza Horizons 2 is looking amazing and content filled. Also theyres a ton of other exclusives and some good bundles. But when I get a ps4 im going to try gt cuz of you haha

Does that warrant something? Correct me if im wrong but cant 2.5mil users use multiple accounts on 1 copy of GT6?

That said, i think it is undertrack by a good million, game seems extremely low in sales for a GT game

Heh. Well either way I hope you have fun.

I'll probably check out Horizon 2, I thought 1 was okay. It may be awhile before I get an X1, but then again maybe not. When they hit a certain price point I'll buy back in (and of course when the library has enough that I truly want).

I do bet that Forza 6 will get back on track considering what happened overall with 5. It definitely was rushed and cut back, and it showed hard. I guarantee that if Sony rushed out DriveClub for launch it would have been as bad or worse lol. Sometimes good things take time to cook!

See you in GT7 (and maybe some Forzas too!) Cheers.
