According to http://www.polyphony.co.jp/english/list.html in March 2013 it shipped 10.66M (shy 340k of shipping 11M) so it possibly have already shipped 11.2-11.5M

VGC have it at 10.85M needing 150k more sales. Probably will do it before middle year... 11.5M a possibility in FY 14.


That is impressive seeing that it is quite easly argued the worst GT to date.

However, it is no surprise as the PS3 has no competition for simulation driving. It was either GT....or GT.

I really liked GT5, just hated my lack of skills being unable to beat Vettel Challenge on Gold.

Its GT or go PC (or Xbox if the person like the other 1st parties)... but for me and a lot others GT is imcomparable, in sales and quality.


I find that odd as GT5 had:

-worst graphics (compared to the other GT at their time of release). WHen the other GTs came out, they had the best on the console as they were nothing shy of madly impressive. GT5 however? It looked like it was ported from the PS2...badly.
-almost broken loading times

-least amount of tracks

-worst 2nd car buying system to the point it made some challeneges impossible

-least number of races

-made licenses pointless

-no tyre or fuel consumption outside of endurance

-worst prize system (who the hell wants some 74 chevy? How will that help?)

-Rallys had been removed bar 3 random races

-so many bugs on launch.

 

I felt like you did with GT - perfect franchise that was all about quality and experience. However I found GT5 to be so bad, I'm not actually going to buy another one until I've played it at someone elses first (and I've had them since GT2).
