Yakuzaice on 25 May 2008

Just noticed they updated their site, and hadn't seen anyone mention it.  Probably includes downloads, but I'm not sure.  Total: 2.23 million.  Sorry if it has been posted before.

20k increase for japan since Jan. and 2.23 does include DL's according to Sony but they didn't show a break down

I'm pretty sure the 20k Japanese increase is the number of downloads. Think they shipped 250k discs. Interesting for me to see the 30k Asian number didn't include Korea, maybe it hasn't been released there yet, or maybe shipments were under 5k and didn't make the 10k cut.

Well, more than succesful for a "demo" , I hope all this cash will go to making the father of all racing simulators, and it wouldn't be too much to ask for one or two FREE upgrades for the Prologue, like new tracks, car damage and improved online multiplayer.

Fantastic number. I believe it's top 5 in PS3 list of games in term of sales figure?

I hope they keep it up and bring new DLC soon.

Very impressive sales
i know it is nt necessarily 2.23m sales, but it will be closer to that number than usual, since it includes downloads

I'm sure it will... the money is probably needed. They said it takes one guy 6 months to make one car... I can't imagine the cost in graphic designers if it's anywhere near the scope of GT4 as far as cars goes.

700+ cars... 700 X 6 months = 4200 months of work...or 350 years. How much does a graphics guy get paid a year?  Even at a very conservative 30,000 thousand that's over 10 million for the graphic design of cars alone.

Either way, it should make it back for sony in spades. This is the definition of a system seller. It's a lot like Madden or Fifa in that it will get gear heads who won't buy anything but this to get it.
