I can see loads of GT6 used copies at various stores near my area, if people are already returning this game I don't it'll continue to sell for long. I don't think anybody will be buying it by the end of this year.

The most popular, highest selling games always have the most second hand copies.

That's what i thought was gonna happen with most uninformed people that bought it expecting a great new GT.
Once chasing the rabbit get's old (after a day), and people realize it's almost the same as GT5 (same flaws included), it's not gonna take long for copies to end up on the bargain shelve, as GT6 has great potential for a 'WTF' style disappointment:
Also for the total sales numbers; I think that now all the die hard GT fans bought it, it will drop in sales greatly.

I still have to get my copy, I think I'll wait a Complete Edition, in Europe the price dropped to € 39.99 for a limited time

Probably going for a 5-7 mil total then in the end no?
Well if it was because a lot of fans gave up on the series, they will blame PS4 anyway so it's not gonna hurt their pride.

I think the difference in sales is also down to the racing genre becoming a bit obsolete too, it's terrible to say but unfortunately it looks like most game players are growing out of it. There needs to be a revolution, and neither of the leaders are anywhere near that. Forza 5 wouldn't have sold as much if it wasn't for the push of it being the definitive reason to try out the One. If it launched on 360 it would be at around 0.5 Mil right now. Just my opinion though.

A 3 million unit shortfall compared to GT5 is a free fall, a disaster. Alarms are sounding and red lights are flashing at PD.
Also, GT6 sold 300,000 units stateside. Over the same period, GT5 sold 1,169,074 copies to American owners.

Hardly!!!
2 million retail copies in a month without counting digital downloads for a game that released a few days after a new generation of consoles at full RRP isn't a disaster by any means.
The second GT game on every playstation has always sold less and the buzz around gt5 was 1000% higher!
I can see sales picking up considerably once it gets a bit cheaper as well… I was expecting a lower RRP for GT6 anyways as if i remember correctly was always the case when a newer console launched the games for the previous generation were always cheaper, well at least here in the uk.

Umm. That's actually good GT6 sold 3mill, not a disaster. How could one assume that's bad, really? GT6 is basically catching up to FM4 at high speed.

Read again. It's sold 3 million FEWER than GT5 in the same time.

Approx 75% revenue loss. Is that clear enough or do you need it to be simplified further?

Even though it's only been out for just over a month I'm surprised how well GT6 is holding its price on sites such as Amazon here in the UK. I expected the price to have begun to drop like a lead balloon by now, but it still has legs.

You're also not counting in digital sales which is a mystery to us all at this point. That said, I doubt they actually made any losses since this is a game that was built on an improved engine from GT5.
What costed PD the most was building the engine from scratch.

Not revenue lost, I'm sure GT6 cost a lot less than GT5 to produce since most of the groundwork was laid by GT5. Marketting costs were probably less too.

One has to also keep in mind that quite a few copies may have been bought as Chistmas presents for their kids.. a racing game that stands out like a sore thumb on the store shelf (that pretty blue) is always a hit as it's something non-violent ect.. giving them peace of mind they bought something nice for their younger kid. Little do they know, it can be a challenging yet rather boring game for younger people, they tend to get frustrated and not find the joy of racing and return the game for something 'cooler'.. which is understandable, at least that's how I felt about GT2 when I was something like 12-15.. things changed around GT3 times though

Well according to PSU.com it only sold for America 300K take that for what you will, but that's very low which leads me to believe most of the stuff you're saying is indeed correct.
Heck as of right now I can't even be bothered to finish A class races sadly it just got old and I've only had this game since Christmas Day already thinking of letting it collect dust update 1.03 I thought would add some major stuff or at least semi-major, but sadly no just got another BMW M4 Coupe that I already had(Hooray)

That information is counting digital sales. Keep in mind it's an estimation through deep analysis, it's the clearest picture we have yet.
