 Thanks to Media Create weekly report, has confirmed the total copies sold for Gran Turismo 5, which when compared with the previous Gran Turismo looks a decline in sales, but it has a simple explanation.

First, here are the sales of Gran Turismo 5 reported by Media Create:

Media Create Noviembre 22-28 Media Create November 22 to 28

01.  / 00. [PS3] Gran Turismo 5 (SCE) {25/11/10} - 430,707

Now we present to past sales of Gran Turismo in Japan by Media Create and Famitsu:

Media Create: Media Create:
{12/27/2004 to 02/20/1905} 0014. [PS2] Gran Turismo 4 (SCE) {28/12/04} - 634,769

Famitsu Famitsu
{12/22/1997 to 02/14/1910} 0006. [PS1] Gran Turismo (SCE) {23/12/97} - 648,650
{12/06/1999 to 12/31/2000} 0010. [PS1] Gran Turismo 2 (SCE) {11/12/99} - 748,581
{04/23/2001 to 07/12/2009} 0006. [PS2] Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (SCE) {28/04/01} - 468,391
{12/27/2004 to 07/12/1909} 0012. [PS2] Gran Turismo 4 (SCE) {28/12/04} - 663,543

 

If you look may see a decline in sales launch of Gran Turismo 5, but it has a simple explanation and is as follows:

First I must clarify that both Famitsu and Media Create weekly reports do 7 days of sales.

If you look good, Gran Turismo 5 only had 4 days of sales report, while if you look at Gran Turismo 4 had 6 days to report sales Media Create, Gran Turismo 1 took 6 days to report sales, making conclude only that if Gran Turismo 5 have reported the 6 days of sales as did Gran Turismo 4 and Gran Turismo 1, had sold the pair of them, because if we get average daily sales of Gran Turismo 5 we can see approximately 143.334 copies were bought to increase the average days plus 2 days, Gran Turismo 5 might well have reported at least over 600,000 copies sold.

Now here comes the more rare, apparently Gran Turismo 2 and Gran Turismo 3 was the best selling series in Japan because according to Famitsu numbers both games in 2 days reported sales of more than 600,000 copies, which makes the best-selling release date of the full range of Gran Turismo 5.

At the same time we let the sales numbers reported in other countries for Gran Turismo 5:

United Kingdom: approximately 265.000 copies sold, making it the sixth best-selling game on any console launch in the UK.

Finland: approximately 20.000 copies sold.

Spain: approximately 93.000 copies sold.

I always apreciate your comments, but the dates are all wrong (typos??), bolded parts.
