Forums - Sales - Gran Turismo 5 sells 9 million units

Lol, what a pessimistic article. "Increased 1.5m" when it increased 1.7m. "Still lower than the PS2 games". Uhm, obviously, since it's been out for only 2 years. 



I was more impressed with the damage control within the thread.

I remember people saying PD wasnt updating their numbers because the game wasn't selling



by how it goes I though that it would sell 10M LTD, but now I think it can sell more go GT5!!! XD



Looks like I predicted wrong, my LTD prediction for GT5 was 9.5 million I do believe.



GT5+P sales,


this game is a monster.

Does that mean that VGC numbers are wrong?


VGC is always undertracking Sony titles
They don't like Sony - Everyone knows that.

GT5 = 14 Million units
No one cares if its "Prologue" and "Final Version"...Its GT5 aka a 14 Million Exclusive on the PS3 THAT ISN'T A SHOOTER...This is how gaming should be.
And its ONE game in ONE Gen - Not every year the newly updated version with a new number with super ultra new features aka 2 new maps!

no, not everyone knows or even believse that vgc is deliberately tracking sony games too low, i bet most just think and "know" that it's harder to track sales for vgc in other territorries than usa and uk and maybe few other countries and especially in countries like italy or spain they maybe don't really know what's going on. so exactly the countries ps3 is strongest.

and if you check vgc numbers and compare them with the official shipments you see europe is undertracked a lot with all the hard to track countries:

North America: 1.92m 23.8%
+ Europe: 3.90m 48.5%
+ Japan: 0.77m 9.6%
+ Rest of the World: 1.46m 18.1%
= Global 8.05m

north america and japan tracking should be ok and that's where it isn't so hard.



I think I'll update my old 'Guess the lifetime sales of...' thread with these new numbers.



re releasing cheaper verison gran turismo really helped



Excellent sales! It's probably a few hundredK undertracked which is great considering it was already selling great. Ten-million sales is guaranteed. I wonder if it can catch Halo Reach?

it should easily or not? i don't believe many will buy reach from now on at least not to get a new online game.
