Obviously Sony is going to exit the console business, obviously.

For november right? didn't the game come out the 24th?shagg_187 said:Wonder how many of it shipped to North America since NPD's 400K sold is pretty intriguing.
Cheech said:This is Sony's idea of damage control. It's naive to think the timing is simple coincidence.
How much more of a shellacking is the PS3 going to have to take before some of you guys see the writing on the wall?

More likely they shipped these in one day.duckroll said:Gran Turismo 5 has shipped 5.5 million worldwide in 12 days
This is the relevant number people should be cheering about as of this moment.Road said:Known GT5 estimated sell-through sales:

That said, I have no doubt that Sony will easily sell through that initial shipment and some additional ones when all is said and done. GT titles have pretty good legs.

It was the first real ps2 killer app as well. If you needed a reason to buy a "next-gen" console this was it.BobsRevenge said:I thought GT3 sold a lot because everyone wanted it.
It's all we have.Metalmurphy said:That number doesn't even have 50% of the countries where this game is being sold...

I surely did proclaim that...amar212 said:Proclaming that ~977k is real total-sales for PAL with only 6 countries on the list - and ignoring rest of 28 countries - is just plain wrong.
Copies were sold today, yesterday, 2 days ago, 3 days ago, 4 days ago, etc. See what I mean?mujun said:To clarify we are talking sales around 2 million and shipped 5.5, right?

How much does it cost a retailer to buy one of these games typically? I'd think $50 would be a bit much, but then again I have no clue.demosthenes said:So how much does Sony make per game sold?
$50 * 5.5million is 275 million. So Sony isn't hurting financially from this at all, right?
Therefore it's all the numbers we have.Metalmurphy said:There for it was all that was sold to consumers?
Haunted said:Therefore it's all the numbers we have.
Anything beyond those numbers is speculative. You could say it sold 1.87 million or you could say it sold 5.49 million, and we'd have no way of telling which one was closer to the truth.
Polyphony will definitely pay for themselves and then some.demosthenes said:So Sony isn't hurting financially from this at all, right?
Here, I'll tell you the most exact statement I can with the numbers available: Gran Turismo 5 has sold inbetween 1.85 million and 5.51 million units.Metalmurphy said:Well, we know for a fact it's bigger then 1.87 million, unless all other regions sold 0 copies of the game...
Common sense tells us it's WAY bigger then that.

nib95 said:Well, so much for doom and gloom GT5 sales. Once again, proof that the US isn't the only important gaming sales territory in the world.
Bomba indeed....

I think it'll get 10 mil in the long run, easy
We know that retailers often have specific contracts in place for unsold stock though, so shipped to retailers doesn't mean that they get full price and the retailer has to eat the entire difference when they reduce 500 copies to $20. Thats why shipped numbers are a lousy way of gauging performance even for the companies bottom line.demosthenes said:So how much does Sony make per game sold?

duckroll said:It's really simple. A company will release information they have. A publisher always knows exactly how much they have shipped, because they're the ones selling it to retail. Hence they will put out press releases about shipping milestones because that's what is important to them and their shareholders. It's not hard to understand.

well, to be fair, some people believe PR if they say sold instead of shipped, even if it is impossible to know what happens WW at every retail store. So we should use the same rules no matter who is giving us the numbers.Haunted said:Makes me mad when some people just blindly cheer every shipment number as if it were sold to consumers. Makes it so much harder to put things into context in other threads.
