GT6 Sales Discussion

People keep mentioning PS4 because it is a factor and its not that people are purchasing a ps4 its more like they are waiting to see how it pans out, maybe waiting to get it at xmas this year but if that's the case a lot of folks would have not bothered with GT6 knowing that their PS4 purchase was happening sooner rather than later. In any case poor sales compared to GT5 does not affect the GT franchise one iota, like I said before, they can't be out of pocket...
This has been my exact approach. I'm waiting to see how the ps4 pans out. I'm sure I'll get it as I'm a huge metal gear solid fan, but until I'm sure mgs5 and GT7 are coming and close to their release dates, I'm going to wait. I find a lot of ps4 owners disappointed that games are limited and they still play ps3 more often.
 
There was very little marketing and the game was rushed and to me didn't feel complete. Personally I think they should have waited till the end of this year or next year and released it on the ps4. Also for reasons unknown to me a lot of people I know consider the game too hard. I still love GT though!
 
@nasanu

You struggle with small little concepts like "reality" and "facts" don't you ?

Keeping on saying "all ps3 games" suffered when the only examples backing up your point are Watchdogs and Titanfall (for reasons we already explained to you...but hey! Who cares what people post? ...easier to be right ignoring their points isn't it?).

COD, BF, FIFA, Assassins creed... all of them are fine: thank you.

For the last time, a next gen system always hurts the previous one's sales... nobody disagrees on this but find me another AAA game whose sales were divided by 4. Come on: bring on your numbers!

And also, you can't even aknowlegde the simple fact that GT5 disappointed many players (review scores, GTplanet community, trophy stats show that in a spectacular way... ) ! But no: PS4 is to blame...

I think your denial skills should get you a nice job at PD. You should submit your CV...
 
So I am not allowed to think something is stupid?.. I guess you will just quote the AUP at me again if I tell you what I think about equating thinking something is stupid on an intellectual level with emotion.



Lets look at that shall we:





You ARE saying it is immune, just in around about way. You give the idea some lip service then go on with the next paragraph to totally ignore it. And the only games to outsell GT6 this year that were not launched this year are the two big FPS releases, FIFA and GTA5. GT6 was never going to sell like those, not in a million years. It does not seem like its doing so bad to be the next best seller behind those huge and more mainstream franchises.

Sure the gap between GT5 and GT6 being short and some people being disappointed might have impacted sales, but you have NOTHING to support your claims for this, especially the claims it is the prominent reason. There are hard numbers on the decline of PS3 software, that is provable fact. What you have is nothing but speculation.
If your only response is to make assumptions and invalid conclusions from my statements, you obviously have nothing to add to the discussion. Good day sir.
 
this whole game is now about prestige for Nissan, and other top sponsors. The contracts are done, even if it sells only 1 single copy. which it will.

this isn't a typical videogame like need for speed or some other fantasy car game. the fact that I and many others here on GTPlanet own and enjoy this game, is all it takes for Kaz , PD, Nissan, Sony, Merc, BMW, Toyota to keep churning the license on this game, whether it sells or it doesn't

this OP title is completely misleading, who here knows the true numbers behind a corporation anyhow? not even the VP's are honest inside their own companies.

So, again, where are they. I'm open to the idea that GT6's sales problems come mostly from being release post-PS4 as opposed to being due to GT-specific apathy, but I actually need to see the data for it beyond that for Watch Dogs.

Hey im
not a majority but i believe more than just me think like i did and the numbers increase rapidly.

1. BF4, fifa14 and so on came on Ps3. I and others bought them because i could convert them to ps4 for a small sum.
GT6 didnt have this so i skipped it.
Why?
I love GT but since i bought ps4 my ps3 is not started (my kids play on it now which is perfect for me).

I will never ever buy a ps3 game again. My friends dont buy ps3 games either because they are going to buy ps4 now and dont want to spend money on games
for old tech.
I really really thought GT6 would be a ps4 title and perhaps it will be but until then i dont want to have it even if i actually want it.

Of course ps4 hurts GT6 numbers if you see it like that. I see it like...GT6 hurt it self, cant blame it on other external factors.
But whatever history and choices it is clear for me that GT needs to get out on PS4 within 12-18 months,
and it better be good :)

Lets see how long the "sponsors" stick around when the numbers don't stack up anymore. I guarantee they wont hang around long if they see the writing the wall "if" they lose a lot of support if there is a better option out there.

I do wonder how many 'casual' users there are compared to "league racers", the guys who play on their own and rarely go online. In my experience all my league racing friends (we now have over 400 members) are well and truly in the majority. For these customers who just play without the online component, i wonder how many will return if they are new to the GT franchise. Was GT6 good enough to buy GT7 when it becomes available?

As i said in an earlier post, i think that "IF" PCARS delivers all it has promised : ie online stability, driving physics that compare to GT6, livery editor, club racing or the like and a solid track and car list, then PD are in for a swift kick up the proverbial and it will either make or brake GT7. That is of course 'IF' PCARS delivers.

Regardless of the numbers, the next 6 months should be good for those of us who like online racing :)
 
@nasanu

I never used the world "stupid". You did, speaking about JohnnyPenso, IIRC... I was just teasing your logic, bragging about "facts" and "numbers that don't lie"... when we proved you wrong with numbers and examples...

Johnny asked you to stay polite but instead of just saying something like "I didn't mean it in a mean way...just teasing"... you tried to, again, have the last word on this too.

There are worse things than being wrong on a game forum my friend (i ve been proved wrong so many times that it's not even funny!)... chill out.
 
This has become mess and madness.

Noone knows numbers. VG Chartz are not source for anything and they do not cover the GT-series biggest market - so they do not mean nothing, even if they were accurate (which they are not). IHowever, it remains safe to assume how GT6 is not having sales equal to record-breaking GT5 (as PS3 sales are concerned).

But until Polyphony/Sony reveals the accurate numbers, we can't have any foundations for discussion of this type.

Also, it would be in the overall best interest to have the OP title edited, because it is nothing but a personal opinion presented as a claim which serves only as the clickbait.
 
List of 'insults'

Way to twist words!

On another note, the VGChartz (reputable source? Pfft! It's a number though!) suggest that GT6 has sold nearly 3 million copies, which really isn't bad. Worse than previous titles, but not bad.

But yes, GT5's legacy will likely cast a shadow over Gran Turismo's sales for quite some time. Not that I didn't like GT5 - it was probably the game I've played most out of all games. PS4's release may also have had some effect on sales due to the simple fact that people have moved on from the PS3.
 
I am not trying to get you into trouble. I really don't see how what I have said or what you have said could effect anyone in a negative way and I don't see the need to hand out infractions for it. I certainly don't care what I am called on the internet. But fair is fair and the campaigning to get me an infraction worked, that is fine but it needs to be applied to everyone.



Excellent place to start.



I am emotional and cant control myself. Absolute insult.



I am too stupid to understand. Absolute insult.



I am so stupid I make 'ridiculous assumptions'. Absolute insult.



I can't control my own emotions, perhaps I am a film cliche 1920's hysterical woman? Absolute insult.



Again I am too stupid to grasp simple concepts. Absolute insult.


So now Terronium-12, care to stand by your own words and the rules of this forum as you have enforced them?
Now, I see you're trying to get yourself banned, and ordinarily I wouldn't interrupt since to be frank I struggle to see much issue with the prospect. But I'm still legitimately interested in trying to get some of the actual information that you claimed to have.

So, those numbers? Anything?

Providing numbers to back up your claim is a rather simple concept.


Oh I see. Everyone else is free to just speculate on the thoughts in strangers minds (seriously that is what you guys are doing here, pretending you can read minds and applying mathematics to that) and apply that to sales, yet when I state something that has been reported on every major gaming news site based on numbers rather than supernatural powers I should have to waste my time digging up data for you?

Go look it up yourself. At least you should be able to look at 2013 data from vgchartz and compare month to month with 2014 data. I know what the data will tell you, but I am not going to waste my time compiling it just to inform the ignorant.

Stop hiding behind PMs, I won't respond there. You made a public statement here, here is where you should respond. You have said a veiled insult is just an insult and taken action against that. Now explain why other posters using very similar veiled insults, sometimes even direct insults (I said an idea or line of thought was stupid saying nothing of the person, others here have directly called me stupid and so far you have sanctioned their words) have no action taken against them at all.

So explain yourself. Idea is stupid = infraction, person is stupid = Terronium-12 turns a blind eye.

In a word, yes. It kinda goes hand in hand when you drone on about things like:
The numbers do not lie. You are arguing against reality itself.
There are hard numbers on the decline of PS3 software, that is provable fact.
When you look at sales numbers for multiplatform games the PS4 is the leading console. Your argument falls apart right there.
That you provide that factual basis when asked about it. It's pretty much basic human communication; even if you are making it painfully obvious that you aren't interested in actually defending what you say so much as just saying it and then acting like everyone else has an arm growing out of their ass when they challenge your unbacked statements.





If the reality is so simple as you've been saying over and over since you came in the thread, it really shouldn't be too difficult to actually say something of value concerning it rather than just repeating yourself without the substance you claim your argument has.
 
Long thread but the problem with almost all sales charts is that they are manipulated by the marketing/ distribution departments of the Label/ publisher, etc.

I.e Traditional Music charts are based on sales of a particular CD/ Record, INTO the stores at a wholesale level.
they do not reflect how many units are actually sold to the public, ever see the bargain bin at your local CD store
They are full of recent "Chart Hits" because the typical popular music is rubbish, and only Popular based on what the record companies wish the public to hear
Even Download charts on iTunes, Google Play are subject to the record companies selling download cards that are slipped in for free with other products.

your games are the same
Go to the local game store and see how many boxes of a particular game are out the back. That's where your "sales" are.

Fine, want 4mins of google searching?

Via VGChartz 5938986 (feb 2014 PS3 software sales) / 7069294 (feb 2013 PS3 software sales) * 100 = 84%. Now consider these are global and the Japanese sales numbers boost the totals since the PS4 was not released there. It is a significant decline.


"sales for EA games on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 dropped 35 percent against the same period the previous year"
http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2014...e-sales-dropped-35-percent-third-quarter-2013

"GameStop has reported "greater than expected" declines in software sales for the Xbox 360 and PS3 formats"
http://www.computerandvideogames.co...expected-ps3xbox-360-software-sales-declines/

Add to this the fact that GT5 didn't have another GT game to compete with. Add that GT5 didnt have next gen console expectations to compete with. Add again that GT5 didn't have people expecting a free racing game soon. But you guys stick to saying you know the thoughts in consumers minds somehow via your special powers and they were all thinking that GT6 was not good enough and all the market forces acting to push sales down had no large effect.

Okay. That's haf of your argument. The one no one ever argued against directly; but still, it's something. Now prove the half of what you keep claiming that is actually important. That PS3 game sales are so low that PS4 games are outselling them. Here, I'll help:
Why are games selling far less on PS3 than PS4?
Then when I pointed out PS4 sales are higher than PS3 with a fraction of the users
When you look at sales numbers for multiplatform games the PS4 is the leading console.
Where are those numbers? They are pretty important considering the assertion that a PS3 game simply can't sell of the level of a next gen game anymore. You provided numbers for Watch Dogs that show it, then went out of your way (which is what the public spat with T12 is transparently trying to achieve) to ignore when examples are pointed out (Call of Duty, Battlefield) that don't show it.










I'll break this next bit down twice, since there's two rather large problems with it:
Add to this the fact that GT5 didn't have another GT game to compete with. Add that GT5 didnt have next gen console expectations to compete with.
GT2 had all of those things, and:
Add again that GT5 didn't have people expecting a free racing game soon.
So "soon" is "5 months without any release date announced after it is delayed; ultimately settling on one 10 months after GT6 released".

And the other thing:
Add to this the fact that GT5 didn't have another GT game to compete with. Add that GT5 didnt have next gen console expectations to compete with. Add again that GT5 didn't have people expecting a free racing game soon.
But you guys stick to saying you know the thoughts in consumers minds somehow via your special powers
lol hypocrisy






and all the market forces acting to push sales down had no large effect.
It's too bad no one ever said that. You'd really have everyone dead to rights then. Maybe if you weren't so quick to remind people of what "reality" is, you'd have time to read what was actually being said.

I'm going to avoid your whole vgcharts construction. Blah blah blah blah to me.

But seriously, There's absolutely nothing on the PS4 right now, and everyone is satisfied with the current library for the PS3. I'll tell you what. My PS4 was a dusted brick before the Destiny Alpha. Now that the Alpha was over. It is once again dust collecting brick.

What's my point? There's nothing on the PS4 to really buy to "increase sales". So frankly, I don't see your logic.
 
GT5 had so much hype going for it. GT6 had basically nothing. It is unlikely that GT6 will reach 10million mark. As most people think it is a incremental jump not next gen. Remember when GT5P and GT5 came out it was so ahead of competition. During those time other devs could only get 8cars at 720P with low detail cars. GT5P set the standard back then and thus even prologue sold 5millions.

I think with PS4 they can do something big beyond the competition again. With GT6 they are limited to hardware. Anyhow it is most sold racing game or one of the most game since its launch. So it is not a bad thing. GT6 has good legs and should sell at lot with so many updates, content. I will not be surprised if it reaches 5million within this year with spec 2.0 or something. We need to wait and sooner or later GT6 numbers will be on the official site
 
Xbone sales are also disastrous, and it has Forza 5.

Would it have had better penetration on xbox360?

If it were on the 360 I would have bought it and several of my friends would have as well. Of the 30 or so Forza buddies I have I think only 3 have purchased Forza 5, maybe 4. Mostly due to the high cost of the new console, the limited content in the game and of course the fact that our Forza branded steering wheels are not supported :(

On another note I wonder where that 80 million users number comes from, Total sales? How many PS3s have died over the years? How many customers have bought more than one PS3? It would seem that number of potential customers is a bit exaggerated.

Tornado answered tp you better than I would...

If anything, your numbers back OUR theory and not yours.

Tx for proving our point with such consistency.

Those numbers?.. Already pointed out, go back and read.

' then went out of your way (which is what the public spat with T12 is transparently trying to achieve) to ignore when examples are pointed out (Call of Duty, Battlefield) that don't show it.'...? Is that a joke?

As I have already said, again go back and actually read, those games were all released BEFORE the PS4 came out. And even then, if you take sales this year BF4 PS4 is outselling its PS3 counterpart by 130K.


GT2 had all of those things, and:

No it did not. GT2 was launched in December 1999, the PS2 launched in March 2000. There was a large gap for GT2 to sell with no pressure. GT6 was launched after gamers had already moved on to a new generation (and not to mention a new much more affordable generation than the PS2 was). Completely different market conditions. Stop the lies, I am obviously for more knowledgeable than you, I'll catch you out every time.

And GT2 did have GT to compete with, but that is a disingenuous comparison. GT being the first game had very little content. It was very easy for GT2 to appeal to gamers who already owned GT, for example it went from 120 cars to 500. For GT6 to do the same trick you would need something like 5000 cars. It's not realistic. GT5 was a massive game so GT6 could not pull the same cheap content trick GT2 did. Also there was no Forza, no pCARS, no other similar competition at all. The market was GT's alone.

So "soon" is "5 months without any release date announced after it is delayed; ultimately settling on one 10 months after GT6 released".

At the time of GT6's release driveclub was expected very soon. Sony initially said it would be free and in the launch period. Again, don't lie.


It's too bad no one ever said that. You'd really have everyone dead to rights then. Maybe if you weren't so quick to remind people of what "reality" is, you'd have time to read what was actually being said.

Sure, nobody directly said that. They did however say everything possible to drive that same argument though, and I indeed do have everyone dead to rights. Including that mod who ran away instead of facing and explaining his actions...

Your whole counter argument was that multiplatform games sold better on PS4 than PS3.

When you look at sales numbers for multiplatform games the PS4 is the leading console. Your argument falls apart right there.

I still don't understand the relevance of that to GT6, a game that wasn't multiplatform and had no game like it available on PS4. So you can prove some multi platform games sold better on PS4 than PS3, I don't see how that proves a PS3 exclusive game sold less than normal because everyone was buying PS4 games in general and not PS3 games.

Watch Dogs would be a single set of sales data. Titanfall, which you never bothered to bring up but someone else was kind enough to do for you, would be another one. You're talking comprehensive concepts regarding how no one buys PS3 games to the same level of PS4 games now that the PS4 is out, of which a single game is not proof of; and you've repeatedly fobbed off numbers that don't fit what you're saying for no other reason than you can't refute them.


Is that a joke?
What do you think?


I'll tell you what I think: No one can be so foolish as to think that the things you attempted to twist into insults were actual attempts to insult you, so the entire ridiculous tirade about how T12 is out to get you (that conveniently started around the time people began actually asking for the numbers you claimed were so obvious) because all of those other members apparently conducted themselves the same way you (accidentally) admitted to is about as subtle a diversionary tactic as if you said "Look over there!" and ran away likea Scooby Doo episode.

As I have already said, again go back and actually read, those games were all released BEFORE the PS4 came out.
Ass Creed 4, Call of Duty and Battlefield 4 first released all of 2 weeks before the PS4/Xbone version did. Are you seriously trying to make the implication that people wouldn't bother with three of the games (two of which have a heavy online focus) that made up a large portion of both system's prerelease hype because they already bought them on the PS360 less than two weeks prior?



And I did go back and read what you posted:
Why are games selling far less on PS3 than PS4?
And the only actual number data you provided to back anything up you've said so far comes from a source that proves that statement wrong.

And even then, if you take sales this year BF4 PS4 is outselling its PS3 counterpart by 130K.
And Ass Creed 4 is outselling the PS4 version by 140,000 copies. And Call of Duty Ghosts is outselling the PS4 version by 200,000 copies. And has outsold the PS4 version to date by 4:1. Now I'm sure you'll claim that that two weeks was all it took to sell all of those copies; not realizing that by doing so you'd be sinking the very argument you've been claiming from the start.


That's just the Playstation ones, by the way. The 360 version is up 400,000 copies this year on the Xbone one (and 200,000 on the PS4 one); and has sold even more to date.

No it did not. GT2 was launched in December 1999, the PS2 launched in March 2000.
So GT2 sold the entirety of its Japanese sales in three months? And the PSX didn't have a couple years of strong developer support in spite of the successor system being on the market; as well as revitalized sales following the rebranding and redesign of the system in 2000?

Also there was no Forza, no pCARS, no other similar competition at all. The market was GT's alone.
There was a large gap for GT2 to sell with no pressure.
Except for the pressure of the multiple competitors the game had on the market when it released, including the pressure from the next generation Gran Turismo game that Sony had in playable form months before GT2 released. GT2 had competitors on the market just as much as GT6 did. Just as much as GT3 did. Just as much as GT4 did. The only GT game that existed in a sort of vacuum was the first title, because immediately developers began retooling existing franchises or creating new games to more closely ape the original GT game.
And yet every GT game, no matter when it was released, no matter how many competitors were on the market against it, no matter how long in the tooth the system in question was, still crushed everything. Not every racing game. Everything. This was all hashed out in great detail within a few posts of you being in this thread, so perhaps the one who needs lessons on how to follow a forum discussion is you.



In fact, let's look at something else you said earlier that is related:
And the only games to outsell GT6 this year that were not launched this year are the two big FPS releases, FIFA and GTA5. GT6 was never going to sell like those, not in a million years. It does not seem like its doing so bad to be the next best seller behind those huge and more mainstream franchises.
GT5: Prologue, which was a glorified demo that you had to pay $40 for, was the best selling game on the system for 3 years. Much bigger than any Call of Duty game. Even the Xbox 360 versions of Call of Duty couldn't outsell that demo version of GT5 until Modern Warfare 2 released. Much bigger than GTA IV on both systems. Again, a paid demo of a game that ended up being 3 years away. Outsold all but a small handful of games period in the 360/PS3 generation. Then GT5 released and it was treated as a milestone event in the industry, it was so huge. It ended up doubling GT5: Prologue's sales. It sold so much that to date the only PS3 game that sold better is GTA V, and the list of 360 games isn't too much bigger.



But you're going to claim that GT6 was never capable of anything more than (at this point) 1/4th of what GT5 sold, for no other reason than because it released 20 days after the PS4 did?


GT6 was launched after gamers had already moved on to a new generation
All 130 thousand worth, apparently. Minus 200 thousand. Minus 140 thousand.

(and not to mention a new much more affordable generation than the PS2 was).
There isn't a single standard by which this statement is true.

Stop the lies, I am obviously for more knowledgeable than you, I'll catch you out every time.
:lol:


If its anything like how much of a fool of yourself you made with the discussion on the definition of "quantum", culminating in you intentionally breaking the AUP to try to claim a member agreed with you by cutting off everything but the first sentence of their post, I think I'll be alright.

At the time of GT6's release driveclub was expected very soon. Sony initially said it would be free and in the launch period. Again, don't lie.
"Very soon" my ass. At the time of GT6's release, Drive Club had already gone two months without having any release date at all. Who do you think you're fooling by completely fabricating such easily researched information as the launch game for the system didn't actually launch with the system? If you truly thought that Drive Club was right around the corner in perpetuity as you indicated earlier, despite the fact that all Sony ever said about when it would be released was "early 2014", that's entirely your problem.



Also, stop claiming I'm "lying" just because you don't have a pot to piss in. It's pretty annoying, and it certainly won't help your membership here any considering how concerned you are about biased moderators who "absue" their power.

Sure, nobody directly said that. They did however say everything possible to drive that same argument though, and I indeed do have everyone dead to rights.
Not a single person ever came close to claiming that the PS4's launch had no effect on PS3 (or GT6) sales. Quite a few people stated outright that they knew it did; with the corollary being that they didn't think it was the main reason for reasoning that they went on to try to explain. You were the one who refused their explanations with no reasoning beyond your pretentious appeal to what you claim reality is.



Furthermore, it took over half a dozen posts from several different members to even get you to post any factual basis for the things you were claiming were fact from the very moment you stepped in the thread. Factual basis which undermines the very thing you were claiming to be "reality" since you set foot in this thread. I therefore don't think you understand what that phrase "dead to rights" actually means.

Including that mod who ran away instead of facing and explaining his actions...
Considering you already admitted that he was talking to you in PMs and you just wanted to make a public spectacle of yourself, I'm again confused what this statement is supposed to prove besides how terrible you are at convincing yourself that the world outside of your self-important angry little box doesn't exist.

You are beyond ridiculous now. I have already explained several times now why games released before the PS4 was released don't count. Provided links to large industry players saying exactly what I have said, that PS3 sales are significantly down and provided numbers to back it up. You have provided what? Your own opinion alone? And now that you are so obviously losing this debate you are trying to drag other threads and topics into it. Bring some logical fact driven arguments to the table or give up. Your continued insistence on pushing your discredited and unprovable argument is not only annoying, but I am actually starting to feel embarrassed and sorry for you.

There was absolutely no need at all for.. whoever the mod was to publicly post here. It served no purpose at all other than to stroke his own ego as a PM is automatically sent explaining the action. Anything he further wanted to say could also simply have been said in a PM. He wanted attention here publicly and now he has it. But considering others committed worse and more frequent breaches of the AUP by his own interpretation of it he has backed himself into a corner. This is why he then wanted to exit out of his public stance and take it back channel. I am sorry but no. He made his bed and he shall lay in it.

But even I tire of this. I believe I have been the only person on this thread to not simply make logical points but to back those up with data and industry statistics and industry opinion. Nobody else has provided anything close to that. So far the best you've collectively come up with is 'I think'. It is my belief that I have proven my case here beyond reason and I feel no great need to respond any further.
