Forums - Sony - Gran Turismo 5 Outselling Everything Else In UK

Source: http://www.incgamers.com/News/25516/?

 

It may not be out until next month, but Sony’s Gran Turismo 5 is way ahead in the pre-order charts according to one retailer.

The title, which launches November 5, is currently top of the all-formats pre-order chart at shopto.net.

Furthermore, Medal of Honor is currently outselling Call of Duty: Black Ops, though with MOH out this week it comes as no surprise that this is currently selling better than Activision’s shooter, which is not out until November 9.

Speaking to IncGamers, ShopTo’s Phil Driver said: "Currently MOH is outselling COD but only by around 20% so with another twenty days to go I think we will see much higher numbers for COD in the end. However the true star of the show for us at the moment is Gran Turismo 5.”

Interestingly, in the US it’s Call of Duty: Black Ops that is currently leading the pre-order charts.

Retailer Gamestop has confirmed it has taken record orders for the game.

“GameStop is tracking to all-time, record reservations on Call of Duty: Black Ops,” GameStop’s SVP of merchandising Bob McKenzie stated.

“We are ahead of where we were with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 last year, which previously set the industry standard.”

Misleading much? I thought it was out early in UK, LOL.



I don't know exactly how much of the UK market shopto.net represents, but it really can't be much.

So, u think it wil be any differant at the major retailers?

 

No way a car loving culture like the Brits wil be eating up the greatest Vehicular masterpiece on a console. 

Couldnt be so.

True, but game retailers in a region all probably look about the same. Its unlikely that if GT is tearing up their charts that it isn't also doing well everywhere else.
