I don't believe so. would be great and very much appreciated if you could post a snap / screengrab.
Ooooooooook.I think it would be not kosher, be a man and type it up
Ooooooooook.
Well, someone else will have to do it. Sorry. Too much real work work to do.
Hopefully MCV UK will just post it on their public site eventually.
Would count as a scan. Someone will have to go typey typey tip tap on it.
Holy shit @ bolded.
Why PD hasn't churned out a GT6 at this point is ridiculous. They've literally left hundreds of millions of dollars on the table this generation. If I were Sony I would clean house, starting with Yamauchi. No matter how good the product, management is fucked up.

Anyone know why we have sub-forums for NPD and MediaCreate sales, but not for PAL charts? Only noticed it when I looked at the front page just now.
Gran Turismo had one mainline entry that was relatively poorly received and sold less than it could've, while the franchise lost a lot of prestige and acclaim to its competitor Forza (which had three higher rated entries).
Why assume only Kaz can do what Turn 10 already has proven others can? It was bad management to get GT5 out in 2010, plain and simple. You say other franchises have been bungled by Sony. I don't really see why GT5 wouldn't join the list of poorly managed IPs at this point.
The only sim racer I have this generation is GT5. I don't really care on a personal level how the games do. But Sony can't be happy PD has spent way more and delivered way less. Like I said, I think they've missed out on a ton of money and sales, and the blame for that starts with the company CEO. One game in a generation. C'mon.
GT5 will probably close in on 10M for LTD sales (And if you add in GT5: Prologue, the GT5 games stand at over 15M LTD). Something that is out of the realm of reality for a game like Forza. So from a business standpoint, although the recent Forza entry was more highly acclaimed, GT is still more successful and is continuing to be successful. Why fix something that ain't broken. ;P
Now my own personal opinion, is that the current management style needs a bit of a shake-up and transition to a more 'modern' development style. I do think that either Sony hires more staff for PD or look to adding in cheap contractors to do the monkey work for the GT games and have this stuff reviewed against PD standards. I do think the age of relying on dedicated studios without the use of cheap contracting is not a cost effective solution to produce high end simulated racing games.
In an ideal world, Sony would produce a GT every 3 years. Each to high critical acclaim.
How can prologue and GT5 sales be lumped, they released years apart and don't even run on the same tech? Naming aside, 5 is a sequel to prologue.

Sleeping Dogs outsold Resident Evil 6.
Unlike in North America, Hitman Absolution was a huge success in the UK.
Sonic Generations and Rayman Origins had nice legs.
Thanks for posting the top 100.
Within the first weekWasn't hitman dramatically reduced in price within like 2 weeks.
