Wow, those number are freaking beautiful!

GT3-deserved every single sell it received.

GT5-also earned every sell for its masterpiece of a soundtrack alone.

Knack new reference for platformers confirmed :p

Quite a good hold for PS4 games given the shortages.

Pokemon legs are really weak in the UK...

There is quite a big marketing push for GT6 in UK actually, I've seen a lot more adverts than for most Sony exclusives, so they are trying.

Should have been a PS4 title though, console seller for sure. Wonder if there will be adapters who will be under the impression that GT7 won't be out for several years and therefore wont bother buying PS4 now till the GT7 release (Am talking about the GT junkies)

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Yikes! Ethomaz will be disappointed. This is just one market though. Perhaps its sales will be different in other places. There was hardly any hype though.

sales =/= Quality

I never heard anybody think Bravely Default was saying it'll rival FF in sales :-/ (but just better gameplay)

GT6 should have been delayed a year and ported to the PS4. Release it holiday 2014 and it would have been huge. Still, GT games have massive legs. This should go one to sell 7mil+ units.

This one won't pass 5M ! I'm sure !

GT games sell for years. It'll easily pass 5mil.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
