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.

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.

I think your full of shit. Most Ps3's? So it recieved 400k sales from Japan do to bundles?

Of the second part of it sales in Japan, yes. And the fact you don't like the truth doesn't make it shit...

The truth? LOL. Funny thing is the game had about 300k sales before the game was bundled... if it had 400k bundles that would mean the game would be sitting near 900k right now... which it isnt.

266k - 550k for the holidays of '08. I doubt all of them were bundled. 250k bundle at the most.

thats not nearly as much as the 700k you orginally said.

You misunderstood me, my confirmation was about most PS3s sold during the holidays in 2008 were bundled with the game, not the 400k part. Considering it didn't even sell 400k during that period I assumed that part was obviously not true.

Ok... I doubled checked... something went wrong. Must have clicked the wrong territory or something but when I first checked it said 700k from Nov - Dec. Now its saying 300k. Still 250k isnt much compared to 690k.

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

The reviews haven't been the greatest for the game, so people assumed it wouldn't be a good seller.

Look at wii play, 58 on metacritic.

ITS GT why does that have to be explained on a sales forum ?????????

Well, it is quite a significant difference. But obviously the game on itself had respectable sales, just not as high as when you only look at its LTD numbers.
