Forums - Sales Discussion - Gran Turismo 6 sold 5 million and and GT5 sold 12 million!

Considering the time it released at, I think 5m is pretty good. A big drop for sure, but any game would have struggled if it released at the end of a gen.

Remember the days when they said Halo 5 bombed and it sold the same amount in alot less time. 

People just love to claim failures when they have no idea how much companies rake in with these games.

So true, esoecially considering that Halo 5 released for the 360 stoujf the same time the XB1 was launched. 

........ oh wait.

GT6 released after the ps4 launched. These numbers are pretty incredible.  

 

GT sport is a glorified prologue imo and it will sell 5-8m.  GT7 should get those 10m+ sales.  

It's a legit game. GT Sport confirmed to have a traditional campaign and 400-500 remodeled premium cars. No standard.

I could point out something recently as well, but people will always play up their hardware of choice over the other one, just move along, but OT Gran Tusimo 6 are disappointing numbers in my eyes, since it did more like last Prologue, than a proper numbered entry.

Don't get me wrong. I also think that GT6 numbers were disappointing. I mean it's the only GT game I didn't buy. But that's cause I had already sold my PS3 and moved onto the PS4. Mind you, I Didn't even buy TLoU, GTA5 or tomb raider cause I was banking on there being PS4 versions of those games and I was right. 

So yeah, that's one of the major reasons why GT5 sales were not as good. It launched at the worst possible time. So what's Halo's reason?

I will reply in PM or wall, since I don't want to get off topic.

-Small Xbox One install base 

-Series fatigue

Install base isnt the reason, Halo 3 & Halo 5 each came out about 2 years after 360 & XBO launched and i believe XBO actually had a bigger install base launches aligned yet Halo 5 did much worse than Halo 3.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

True, but it is a known fact that many Xbox gamers last gen have switched to the PS4.  

I think I should have been more specific: Smaller Xbox One userbase interested in shooters
