7M? Thats 100% impossible, the game has sold only around 3M based on VGchartz. Even considering that it might lack digital sales and VGC is not totally updated, it wont even reach 4M. It is indeed a failure compared to previous games when talking about sales. As for the game itself, it is amazing, way superior to 5. It just lacks seattle circuit


I think you are here time enough to know VGChartz SW numbers means absolutely nothing.
It still tracks The Last of Us at 5.5M, when it was announced officially it crossed 7M sales 1 year ago, when it was around 4M here as well.
So no, 7M is not impossible to GT6 at all. It was still high in PSN charts last year, in both USA and specially in Europe.

To be honest, I doubt it is far from 6M right now. Also, I'll do a test with the next Vision GT update, as I saw a lot of people were still doing it in the last one, and Ethomaz also noticed the same, I'll wait for the last day of the Peugeot event and will join and do a lap as horrible as I can so that I can rank as low as possible and see how many people did the event. Last time I did it in the middle of the event and slow (I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't leave the track and have to start again) and I ranked at ~150K. I'm pretty sure it'll have at least the double of the rank I got there.
Considering it's a last gen game over a year and a half and if it still have 300K active players as I suspect I doubt it sits anything near as 3M as VGChartz says, but well over it, well over it.

You have some really good valid points, but I still think 7M is impossible, I stick with 5M tops.

I guess we will never know unless sony releases the numbers. Even with 5M, I believe the game was highly profitable since probably they used a lot of programming and data from GT5. 

I believe the release of GT7 will tell us where the franchise sits now
