GT5 sells 5.52 million copies in it's first 12 days. Series now exceeds 60M

It will double Forza 3 in sales in no time. That's closing in on Reach already.

Just a minor correction, according to their press release that's the number as of December 6, 2010 -- so it's only 12 days after release.

Europe: 3.56m

North America: 1.25m

Japan: 0.55m

Rest of Asia: 0.16m

(America is the biggest market? Certainly not for Sony.)

Grawse

Still doesn't justify the let down that is Gran Turismo 5.

Gran Turismo 5 is like a Michael Bay movie.Salt_The_Fries

This is shipped, not sold

Maybe 1 million actually sold to users

Sony never releases sold numbers, only shipped, like the fake 4 million Move "sales"

400K is just NPD's US estimates for the first 3 days of sales.

GT5 has more storyline than a Micheal Bay film as it stands :P

Still good numbers..Shows GT is still a strong franchise for sony regardless.

It's a shipment number.

Already shipped 2 million copies more than Forza 3 has since release over a year ago. Oop :(

It's a sold number. 7 million shipped about. the amount stated sold.

As expected... GT 5 will sell millions. Didn't Prologue sell 4.5 million?

No, it's shipped (sold FROM Sony TO retailers). Publishers have no way of knowing how much retailers sell. That 7 million figure isn't official and never was. It was just thrown out for arguments sake.

As well as second week sell through for the UK.

Those are some of the largest gaming regions in Europe and they don't come close to even half that figure.

You just wait for the chirstmas sales.

Forza 3 took over a month to ship 1 million :lol: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/08/forza-3-sales-surpass-1-million-units-premium-dlc-released/

GT5 ships 5.5 million in less than 2 weeks. That means it's selling roughly 10 times as fast :shock:

Nice, but not surprising. GT is a massive franchise.racing1750

"As of December 6, more than 5.5 million units of Gran Turismo 5 have been sold worldwide"

Impressive numbers. It's not the Playstation's killer app for nothing.

Can't wait to see cows play the sales > quality angle when comparing it to FM3.:shock:

u guys r really diluded it says shipped. so what does that mean?

that just means the numbers sent to retailers to be sold AND NOT the actuall number sold to customers. you know when most non-Sony(cause it seems only sony uses this type of phrasing) says 2 mil or somthing sold that means sold to CUSTOMERS. these numbers r meaningless

Fair is fair when Lemmings and Sheep say titles like UC2 are sales flops. Hypocrisy knows no fanboy type bounds.DerekLoffin

Didn't Uc2 sell something like 3-4 million copies? That's hardly a sales flop.

I think what they were saying was cows don't buy highly rated games like Uc2. Instead, they go bananas over mediocre games like GT5.

Now, independent researchers do often attempt to provide information on numbers sold to consumers, but that is another matter entirely.

You don't have to wait :D

Poor turn 10. They need to make 2 games to sell that much. And by the time they're done making them, GT5 will have sold another 5 million and they'll have to make another 2 Forzas to keep up :(

Oh of course, the game that has left a legacy of high hitters has only shipped alot of units they are all obviously sitting on shelves collecting dust.Jynxzor

I don't know why everyone is disputing this.

It doesn't particularly matter anyway, it should sell through the initial shipment by the end of the year without too much difficulty.

Oh you.

Let me try this. PD takes 5yrs and $70 million to make a worse racer than Burnout, Shift, Need for Speed, Dirt 2, Grid, and Project Gotham 3 & 4. They really have the magic touch, don't they?:P

one, the budget was $60 million, and two, worse by gamespot scores, I actually enjoy GT5 a LOT more than any of those with exception to Burnout Paradise, where I am enjoying GT5 the same amount.
