GTS is now 1st (normal edition) and 5th (steelbook) on Amazon UK's best sellers list, in front of Super Mario Odyssey, South Park, FIFA 18 (both PS4 and Xbox One) and COD: WWII.
Forza 7 is no longer in the Top 100 games.
EDIT: Amazon lied to me, haha. Forza 7 is currently sitting at 22nd.

I'm sooo hoping that the game will sell a lot! I want more GTs in the future!
To be honest, I really worry about the sales. What if it'll sell 2 million? Then Sony would close PD.

They wouldn't but maybe they will hopefully do some serious cleaning in that place. And get rid of all the incompetence. GTS will sale enough to justify another game on nothing but the strength of PS4. But it likely will be second of a third in the nails of a potential coffin of GT and PD if the next game take half a decade and is as big a let down.
There no chance in hell of it even sniffing near ten million. It would be a mega success if it matched GT6 weak numbers. Given its sub par content and low review scores. Well weak for GT.

Judging from Kaz’s response regarding the number of demo players, I think it’s possible that PD/Sony are counting on less numbers with this reboot.To be honest, I really worry about the sales. What if it'll sell 2 million? Then Sony would close PD.

If it doesn't sell 5 million then i Don't know what to say.
Ohh you know. Given its content and quality of the competition and the hard knock day's Racing games are in. If it can touch 4 million and end of life sales, it would be bad at all rather quite good for what the game offers.

This. Coming soon to a thread near you!
He also said he was surprised that people were enjoying the closed beta, IIRC. Maybe just to show humility rather than saying he's proud/pleased? Open demo went pretty well overall (ok, not totally problem free) - they seem to have been prepared for the numbers.

Latest chart reveals:
Gran Turismo Sport - 80k+
Probably 100k+ with digital. Certainly didn't match the GT5 heights but did sell twice as much as GT6. In a genre that has been facing a lot of decline ( F7 down from F6, PC2 down from PC1) its nice to see something thats not a decline. Interesting to see how GTS does in the long run but I think 5 million+ is a lock.

Nope. You're placing a lot of value on numbers that one can easily see offer no predictive value. Did GT5 sell 6x more than GT1? Did GT4 sell 3.5x GT3? There are too many factors that go into first week sales to make them worthwhile for making predictions. Otherwise you'd be predicting < 4 million sales based on GT5 results.

Pretty decent numbers for the first week.
Not expecting 4-5 million in the same time frame of GT5P or GT6 unless it gets heavily bundled with PS4. A boost in content and such could help but usually as in the case of SFV, once shipped it's hard to turn it around. A second version of GT Sport is probably going to happen, could be a good way of getting 4-5 million sold and appealing to offline players more.

It sits between GT5P and GT6 numbers. GT6 was reduced to half price soon in the new year after it's release. GT5P was budget priced anyway.
Still. You can't do better than Number 1.
I saw my first second hand copy this lunchtime. It was at this time I saw my first second hand copy of GT6. The first Monday after launch. I should say copies though. There were six copies of 6 that day!

Incompetence? Have you watched the Forza 7 vs GT:Sport comparison from Digital Foundry? Or their GT:Sport HDR video? Or the lighting effects in the game itself? Scapes? It’s one thing to disagree with the choices made for the future of GT, but to say there is a lot of incompetence is just wrong IMO. PD has some of the best competent programmers out there.

Incompetence can go beyond mere content and features. Sure the game is probably, objectively, the best-looking game out there overall but, when you get beyond the visual aspects of the game, there are a great many choices that were made by the developers that might call into question their competence. At the least, I don't think they are in a lofty enough position to escape further scrutiny.

Lmao week 1 sales in one of the largest markets in gaming apparently have no predictive value. Reminds me when you tried to damage control PCars 2's bad performance.
Me making a guess isn't some constant. Obviously with more info predictions will change. Right now, GTS has debuted 2 times higher than GT6 but 3 times lower than GT5.
Its done good for the racing sim genre where other series have been doing badly.
Sounds like more wishful thinking. PD also excel in cinematography, UI design, photomode, and GTS's online mode is a standout in the genre right now. Even the driving has managed to be one of the better models, when compared to a game like Forza.

If GT Sport sells poorly, the "new era" for Gran Turismo will end and Sony and PD will go back to the original GT format that was so successful.

They can go so many ways now, GT:Sport is a fine platform to start from. For example they could go the singleplayer route and add full fledged expansion packs that enhance the game with a championship similar to GT6. Or they could add DLC cars packs to introduce missing categories like vintage cars. Or circuit expansions etc.
I hope they won’t go to a Forza-ish business form and release a new game each 2 years. I hope they keep adding to GT:Sport similar to how Real Racing 3 has been adding content for like 5 years or something now.
Numbers are pathetic given the strength of the PS4 and it being the first GT of the Gen.
Flop incoming.
I don't need to watch anything i have both and can't tell a difference when playing.
But you know what i can tell very well, one has nearly 7 times as many cars to play with. And dynamic weather with online and offline something incompetent PD couldn't do with 4 years of freaking development time yet Turn ten released a game with triple the content on Nov 2013. How is that not the epitome of incompetence ?

Wow, I was not expecting especially after the reviews and Pcars2, Forza7, F1 2017 as competition. They almost screwed up the game by some bad decision. Still if they want GTS to have long legs which I think it will. They need to update the game with more SP mode, hopefully GT mode and more tracks, cars as a free update
No those are very good numbers. Do some research on UK sales figures in relationship to the global sales. Forza 7 would be a flop here
Forza never had GT like sales, your comparison is flawed.
Those are low sales for a first of a gen Gran Turismo on the console sale juggernaut that is the PS4. Nothing can argue or sugar coat that, this release was sure bet for 10 million seller if it was a proper GT game.
Why would you ever think that ? this game has no content to carry its sales long term. It's quite clearly a front loaded seller, especially given the low review's and paltry meager.

That's the reason why you have release day review embargos
. Removes the reviews from some of the purchasing choices.For a first GT title on a new platform the numbers are lower than I would have expected them to be, how its tail will play out and what the final mix of digital to physical will be interesting.
