This franchise surely is a fucking beast. Even the "flops" are well above many other successful games.

Polyphony Digital website revamped; Sales data updated to September 2015
- Thread starter sacrificengineer
- Start date
You can get more details (regions) on the site http://www.polyphony.co.jp/products/
Code:
Asia
Gran Turismo 5 340,000
Gran Turismo 6 160,000Yeah, I found that funny. Just edging by the PSP game.
GT5's long development time definitely hurt 6 along with the generation change.

If they are done using car count as a selling point GT7 will have my attention. Saying GT6 has over 1000 cars when in fact 700 or so of them are either PS2 ports or different versions of Skylines, Supras, RX7's etc is bullshit.
I want consistency from Polyphony this time.

What do you mean? Plenty of people, myself included, waited for the GT6 remastered that's "suppose" to come out on ps4.
It was free with a purchase on Play Asia. I don't recall how long the promotion was or if there was a minimum spend amount.

That's how the early PR read like to me. But then that Jim Ryan interview....confused things.
Damn those GT6 numbers. Why they released it on PS3 when they did will always be beyond me. The game has preformance issues also on PS3 where you basically have an option between dealing with a lower frame-rate, or dealing with screen tearing. Plus I disliked how they handle the cups now, you don't get prize cars really anymore and that took out alot of the joy of finishing first in all the cups and stuff.

Seeing grown men act like toddlers throwing a tantrum is one of the best things to come out of this gen thus far.
As for the topic at hand, is there any other IP that statistically has as long legs as GT? It's the sort of game which just keeps plugging away.
As far as I'm concerned releasing GT6 on PS3 was a terrible decision, so the fact it's still managed to make its way to 4.7 million after 2 years surprises me.
Cars sounding like vacuum cleaners.
Tons and tons of cars that were mostly the same, not enough Premium modeled cars, mostly used from PS2 assets.
No way should that have been on a next-gen console.
Plus, they never said it was coming to PS4, it was ever so slightly hinted at.

Why the huge drop off in gt6 sales compared to gt5?

The prologue financed Polyphony Digital's entire development run for PS3 and then some.
Everything else is pure profit
It came out on PS3 right when the PS4 launched

As mentioned, it released the same period as the PS4 launch, which had a lot of hype and attention so GT6's release more or less got buried. I also think skepticism of the game's quality itself was marred by the failures of GT5, even though it definitely improved on almost every issue that GT5 suffered from.
I always thought it was delayed. I can't imagine them planning to release at PS4X1 launch.
Really looking forward to GT Sport. Whatever it is it sounds like the structure will be changed from the usual GT structure, which can only be a good thing. I like the FIA cooperation which should mean realistic racing championships to take part in, not the bloody Clubman Cup or whatever nonsense! Also they hired a UI guy from Driveclub I believe which can also only help things. I hope they aim to reduce loading times a la Driveclub as well, that would be fantastic. Obviously I expect the best racing visuals you can get at 60fps, they've always been master of the tech available like the other Sony 1st party studios, I expect this to wipe the floor with Foeza and Project Cars, quite frankly, while offering the usual fantastic time of day changes that made Gt5 still look pretty incredible today at times.
Bring it on.
Oh and the small matter of VR :
Make it and it will sell, clearly!

Pretty good numbers for GT6 considering the timing. Have seen it being sold at huge discounts for a long time though.
I've bought GT 1-5 and prologue but I didn't bother with GT6, seemed too much like 5 and GT5 took a very long time to come out. They pretty much got what they could out of PS3 so GT6 was like some refined anniversary edition not even probably worth the GT6 name in my view. It keeps the two main games per gen cycle going.
I'm completely onboard for GT Sport as I was GT5 prologue.
With PS3 they had GTHD at launch and GT5 Prologue in the first year (demo Oct 2007, game Dec 2007 import). I'm shocked that it's 2 years into PS4 and still nothing hence no PS4 bought.

Wow 4.7 mil with all the circumstances not in their favor
GT is a heavy hitter
Any numbers on the console sales boosts each release has provided for its respective console?

That and killing GT5's online to try to push GT6 sales right before launch didn't help much.

I don't think it was delayed. All the pre-release material from the time the game was announced in May 2013 stated that the game would be coming out late Fall of that year. Right on 3 years from GT5, and 2 years from Spec 2.0, which falls in line with the normal dev time for the Gran Turismo series.
I think Sony just overestimated how well the Gran Turismo name could stand up to the wave of enthusiasm for their shiny new toy. But like I said GT6's development was paid over many times over by the success of GT5P and GT5. Maybe Sony just didn't care about hitting a specific sales number for 6, just wanted to get it out the door, close out the system with a bang, and recoup whatever sales they could.
GT5 online was killed in May 2014.

Damn this franchise is big.
I mean GT6 released in a worst time possible and still sold millions.

I will echo the feeling that i didn't expect to see GT6 nearing 5 million, its indeed a big drop from the nearly 12 million GT5 number but it is possible for GT6 to close out at 5.5 or 6 million. Very much looking forward to GTSport, i have every hope that they are taking a different direction and GTsport will deliver. Even if it doesn't, it will still sell a ton.
Considering the recent changes and new hiring's it definitely would translate over, overall i think GT Sport will be the most radical change in GT formula since the series began.
Wow @ GT5 selling ~12M
I hope the clean design of the new website translates over to GT Sport.

I bet GT7 (or maybe Sport?) will break 12m.
Well when did you expect release? Because the game was unveiled in May that year.
It was bundled with the PSPGo when that price dropped <£60.
So that's like 10 copies right there.

GT5 outsold 4? Damn impressive.
GT PSP is still selling, is still surprising.
2 studios? Or just one big dedicated to GT?

Also worth pointing out that they're expanding outside of Japan

Don't see much reason why they'd be working on anything other than GT.

Just wondering since the studios are spread out, and seem to big of a studio to be making one game. Yeah, i know Ubi has a 1000 people working on Ass Creed.

Relatively, GT6 performed poorly. But damn, even then, it beat my expectations.
I think GT7 will do amazing numbers.

You put together Forza 3,4,5 & 6 and compare GT 5P,GT5 and GT6 and GT will probably have sold more. GT Sport will shift very good numbers no doubt!
