According to http://www.vgchartz.com/game.php?id=6972 GT5 prologue (demo?) sold 3.82m copies.

Could that be enough to make profit for GT5.

Is GT5 a financial success before hitting shops?

I forgot about PSN copies

Sold 4.95 http://www.polyphony.co.jp/english/list.html

Actually VGC don't include download sales from PSN.

Go to the official web site of polyphony digital they have the GT5P total sales around 5m or so.

Probably. Because GT5P sold around 4.5m copies if you count a digital sales.

The estimated total development cost for Gran Turismo 5 is at $60 million.

In other words, most likely not, but it will more than recuperate those costs and profit in the first year of Gran Turismo 5's release.

GT5P = 4950 world wide

But who really knows how much was spent on developing GT5? I bet they started working on it after the release of 4. Its not like they do anything else.

Money put into development aside, they are likely gonna spend a good amount on advertising.

Well that "demo" is all fans have had for about 3 years. Also, never have I played a "demo" that offered so much content.

If it was a demo, it would be Call GT5 Demo.

GT PSP.

While developing GT they popped out another GT?

Exactly my point. They do nothing else but GT.

100 million $ budget, I don't think Prologue, even with the digital copies, makes much of a profit. Coule be though, digital copies are a lot cheaper to distribute.
