Typo...

Gran Turismo 5 (Japan): 740
Gran Turismo 5 (North America): 1,980
Gran Turimso 5 XL (North America): 430
Gran Turismo 5 (Asia): 310
Gran Turismo 5 (Europe): 5,540
Gran Turismo 5 Academy Edition (Europe): 190

Total: 9,190

As end of September, 2012.

8.5-8.7 seems ok (undertracked ~700k)

After that Gran Turismo 5 already sold near 200k (VGC data Oct-Nov).

That seems more likely a typo in the source data then the total.

I mean, what would cause 9.010 instead of 9.190?

Definitly not a keyboard error. 

So if they added somethign wrong we'd be looking for an typo of 180,000 exactly. 

Also, the 8.5 to 8.7 INCLUDES the VGC Oct-Nov data.

PD data are shipped ones, and I suspect we won't be able to have a better idea of how much were actually sold to end users and how many were in the suplly channel until after Xmas, but it's quiete likely that GT5 be undertracked by a few hundreds thousand. Still small enough to consider VGC's tracking of it between good and very good.

@bolded: It's obvious that WW 9010k total is calculated excluding Academy Edition and this could make look like there is a 10k error somewhere. But if you look at all the values, it's also clear that Polyphony Digital numbers are published rounded to the nearest multiple of 10k, but most probably they calculate their WW total from actual, not rounded regional values, then they round it, this can explain the apparently missing 10k.

Good theory... it's like when I rounded the % and get 101% in total.

So PD forgot to add the AC numbers.

Does VGC ever adjust SW numbers?

Sometimes but not alyways. They havent adjusted God of War 3 and Uncharted 3 yet.

I always get a chuckle when a years old thread is brought back, doesnt matter by whom or what allegiance they have.

Guy #1: HA! This old thread proves I am right and you were wrong. Eat crow!
Guy #2: Oh.....k.
Guy #1: (thinking) Somehow I expected this to be a more satisfying victory, a massive triumph years in the making. Its almost as if these accomplishments I value mean nothing in the grand scheme of things when it comes to frutition

Cmon anyone else agree with me on things like this? Again this refers to any thread revived, no specific allegiances

Now now, lets not generalize based on one persons opinion amiright? :P

It's no wonder the original poster quit vgchartz, he saved himself the embarrassment of being really wrong. Gran Turismo 5 has been massively successful

Yep, it definately has nothing to do with that the thread was made 2.5 years ago and a persons life commitments in that time span may have resulted in just not frequenting online forums anymore. Retreating from vgchartz, even though having a alias and no personal information connecting one to real life, must have been the result of losing a years old prediction.
