Still will end up selling over 6 million copies but most of its sales will come once it gets a price cut.

same reason there is a billion threads about WiiU sales.

People should just remember when GT5 launched in 2010, how many people was saying it flopped...., and people need to remember how many times was adjusted up too. I think the 1st time VGC put numbers was around 1'6-1'8 mill 1st week..., at the end was 2'4 mill 1st week. I won't be surprised if Europe and Others are undertracked a lot here. And last but no less..., GT6 launched digitally too, I bought it digitally, and i'm sure a lot of people bought it digitally too.

After adjustments GT6 will be around 1'0-1'1 million retail sales 1st week and around 200-300k digitally minimum. PD probably will announce 3 million shipped and digitally sold at the end of the year.

It's still a lot less than GT5, but GT6 will be fine in the next year....and I'm sure it will sell beyond 5 million easily some time around 2015....


A voice of reason.

A lot of the hardcore GT fanbase went digital, yet some of the fanboys dont even know GT5 was disk only while GT6 was first on sale digitally.

It has the sales it deserves.

....more than most games get on a single platform?

OT: Lower sales than GT5 were pretty much expected

Looking at the the sales, I think we can all agree that these GT6 doom threads were a bit premature. And before someone tries to reply to me saying, "But, but GT5 sold more in its first week." Please remember that the number of days, plus not knowing the digital sales play a factor into this. GT6 should do 8 million lifetime due to the amount of people that won't get a PS4 until a price cut happens.

I can see this game being bundled until PS3 is discontinued. We shall see how that factors into its lifetime.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Maybe not enough gloom and doom there? GT6 needs more negative threads to counter all the awesomeness on it.
