And GT6 with 5M is a flop, Driveclub with 2M is a flop and Forza 6 with 1M is a success?

GT6's sales were revealed to be 2.37m this September, not 5m.

And that source was revealed as bogus (it used VGC numbers). And it was as of june 2014. And it was still VGC numbers. Meanwhile Polyphony recently disclosed GT shipment numbers again (they do it once in a while).

GT 6 shipments = 4.71m

Scroll down and you will find shipment numbers for all GT games as of 30th september 2015.

And I realize this is still shipments, but I figure it should be quite obvious that a game that had sold 2.37 million had shipments twice as high as that.

Interesting. When people call GT6 a "flop" though, I think that's in the context that it underperformed by series standards. It's not that the game was a failure, it wasn't, just that people typically expect better from a Gran Turismo title.

On the other side of the fence, Forza 6 sold 607k in its first 10 weeks, where Forza 5 sold about a million, so there's certainly cause for concern there.

Both franchises have shown decline with their recent entries.
