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

Is not so strange and doesn't mean anything, if i give you my GT6 copy and you download the update it doesn't mean two sales.. or when all users on the same console play it etc..

Well if you believe the article then its about 2.5 million.

I was asking in percentage. Because you seem to believe 110% of the buyers are still active.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

Why would two accounts on the same hw download the patch/dlc? It Works for all acc there. And for a year old game to think the owner downloaded the dlc then lend the game for someone that also done that and all of that within weeks... I can't imagine that being a big percentage.

If there is a money glitch like there was with the first update then its more then likely that some people downloaded it more then once.

The game isn't even 9 month old yet but if you borrow it from somebody you have to download the patch unless your system is completely offline.



It doesnt help that we havent had an official update from PD since March 2013...



                            

And yeah... 2.5 million active users are a downgrade in GT franchise compared with GT5. The game is more close to 5 million sold than these ~2.5 million shows on VGC.

But they undertracked GT5 close to 3 million for years before adjusted...

GT6 will end close to 7-8 million... really a downgrade compared with 11-12 million GT5 (GT5 is the best selling exclusive between PS360... just Nintendo games sold more).

 And yeah... the community in GT games are that big.

or multible accounts, downloading the add on
same Thing we got with forza 6 numbers.

not sure, how they Count Downloads
but still a solid figure to see how big (or small) the game is

Multiple accounts didn't work in this case... you download the DLC only in the account that fits with your game region... the others account can't download it (you already downloaded in the main account).

It is over 2.5 million copies of the game that downloaded the DLC.

And anedoctal... I didn't because I was not interested in the Aston Martin’s Vision GT :P so I'm one of the active users that didn't download this DLC.

They didn't reach 80 million yet.

So you have certain GT4 + GT5 + GT6 + GT:PSP + GT5:P didn't shipped combined more than 9.98m units yet... these are the games yet shipping in the last report.
