No. Gran Turismo 3 is the best selling with around 15 million. The lowest selling Gran Turismo is the GT 2 with 9.37 million. Gran Turismo 5 will probably pass GT 2 but that is about it.

As Michael_Stutzer wrote, 1st place is very, very unlikely. Surpassing GT2, OTOH, is at its reach. But once outsold GT2, should it be able to reach GT1 too, then, as GT1 and GT4 are very close, Sony would do the effort necessary to make it surpass both, getting 2nd place.

While the sales number make it obvious that GT5 has been a great success to Sony in the budget side, you can't forget the advertisement costs, which are never included in the budget of the game. I'm sure that at least there is another 60 million budget for ads, so this game prints money, but a bit less than what osamanobama said.

so with advertisements my high end projection is likely on the money(with the exception of the 50m per yr. thing lol which i new was wrong)

lighten up people.

i can assure you the advertising campaign was no where near 60 million.

it would be half that at max.

i cant remember exact numbers but Uncharted 3 is reported to have sony biggest marketing push ever. and the cost of the campaign was WAYYY southward of 30 million.

i bet with dev cost and advert cost, and what ever, it was no more than $80 million

interesting.
