As part of the flurry of activity and announcements surrounding the reveal of Gran Turismo Sport at Paris Games Week today, an interesting bit of information was revealed as Polyphony Digital updated their official site: the GT series has now sold over 75 million copies:
“The latest instalment of the Gran Turismo franchise, which as of March 2015 has sold over 75 million copies worldwide, is coming to PlayStation®4 with the name ‘Gran Turismo SPORT’!”
This means more than 5 million copies have been sold in the past two years since the company last published official sales numbers back in March of 2013.
Without a detailed breakdown of the sales per game, we still don’t know how many copies of GT6 were sold – a statistics which has gone unreported since its release. However, considering the game was released in December of 2013, we can only presume it made up the vast majority of those 5 million in sales – far more than the fake numbers previously referenced in VIRAG’s court case against Sony Computer Entertainment.

Probably about 3-4mil copies of GT6 were sold…which is terribly low, considering any other GT game made more than 10mil. And GT3 had what, 15mil? Wow. That’s a blow.
Well GT3 selling well because the peak and rise of PS2 being so popular.
But GT4 (which was not during PS2 peak) also sold very well – about 12mil. 3x more than GT6.
That’s fair to say,but a lot of people loved GT3 and not much competition for GT was around so…
From the 5 million most likely comprising of well over 50% so that at the very least brings GT6 total sales to above 4.8 million from 2013 till present. That’s more than 4 times the current sales of pCarz ( very good game being the first in its series). Also still greater than the combined sales of forza 5, pCarz, & drive club I believe.
Justin Beiber sells more albums than artists like Noel Gallagher and U2. Means nothing in terms of quality.
Oh no, Mubble played the Beiber card!!! Get your flamesuit out of the closet buddy, you’re gonna need it…lol.
5 million? All things considered , it’s still a lot of sales.
So how many copies was GT6?
An estimate of 5 million copies. Might be higher or lower. Most likely lower.
Probably 5 ish million. It obviously didnt do as well as GT5 because GT6 wasn’t marketed very much compared to the SLS AMG commercials for GT5
GT6 was released a week after a new console generation landed. Do not underestimate the impact that probably had.
Bu.. But I was told it was an abysmal 2.3 million…. ;-)
I’d guess a few hundred thousand copies of GT5 were sold out of the bargain bin so it seems likely 90% or more of that 5 million is from GT6.
