Great start for the game. I wonder what the WW totals will come to when the dust has settled.

Doesn't PD post the sales of their games on their website?

 

Yeah, they do. We'll just have to wait for a while...

What do you think WW total will end up being?

 

WW? No idea! Japanese pre-orders were really bad, so I didn't expect it to sell more than 100,000 first week - and yet it achieved 144,000 in retail sales alone.

 

I suspect this one will be bundled heavily for a long time in NA and Europe.

Well it is GT what low sales did some of you expect.

So yeah, after ~50,000 on day one, it managed to sell 144,000 first week.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue managed to sell 108,000 in its first week in Japan.

Considering GT5P managed to sell >500,000 in Japan, it bodes well for future Gran Turismo PSP sales.

 

Also, keep in mind Famitsu don't cover DD sales, and it was significantly cheaper on JP PSN, so the real figures are likely to be considerably higher

Very promising start - nearly tripled the first day sales in retail alone!

GT5P didn't get over 250k on its own strength, the only reason it ended up a lot higher was that is got bundled last holiday season. So if GT PSP ends up following the sales pattern of GT5 Prologue it will probably end up near the 300k mark.

No. They released a Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III which was a very cheap re-release with extra content. That helped more than anything.

It still was having great legs after the bundle passed.

Sony needs to release reports of DL numbers. Not just a list of the top 10. I want to see how the numbers look.

Which was bundled with the PS3 last holiday season...

Edit: Or better said, was bundled with most PS3s, there were probably some other far less popular options to buy a PS3 as well.
