So yeah, after ~50,000 on day one, it managed to sell 144,000 first week.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue managed to sell 108,000 in its first week in Japan.

Considering GT5P managed to sell >500,000 in Japan, it bodes well for future Gran Turismo PSP sales.

 

Also, keep in mind Famitsu don't cover DD sales, and it was significantly cheaper on JP PSN, so the real figures are likely to be considerably higher

Very promising start - nearly tripled the first day sales in retail alone!

GT5P didn't get over 250k on its own strength, the only reason it ended up a lot higher was that is got bundled last holiday season. So if GT PSP ends up following the sales pattern of GT5 Prologue it will probably end up near the 300k mark.

No. They released a Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III which was a very cheap re-release with extra content. That helped more than anything.

It still was having great legs after the bundle passed.
