Searched, but didn't find thread about it.

So, it appears that Polyphony Digital refreshed their website completely - it's much more sleek now and works better on mobile. Contents were also updated - you can take a closer look at the company's message and heritage.

But the most interesting part is, of course, up-to-date sales data, which confirms GT6's 4,5+ million sales status. 4,71 million copies worldwide, to be precise. The entire franchise shipped 76,49 million copies to date.

Alive and kicking.

Waiting for Gran Turismo Sport.

 

[hesido]

GT6 is well above my predictions.

 

[Eolz]

Always nice to get some updated sales data!
Shame 6 still sold less than 5 Prologue though.

Was the website already mobile compatible like that last time?

 

[Acquiescence]

Aren't those the first official numbers we've ever gotten for GT6? It didn't do too hot, at least comparatively, but it didn't do as badly as I had originally thought.

 

[Y2Kev]

Very nice. How in the world did they ship that many psp?

I wish they did a gt6 remaster earlier this year. Would have bought that fo a dolla x 50.

 

[firelogic]

Wow. Even the PSP game sold 4.6M+

 

[Nirolak]

I like how they waited until GT6 surpassed GT PSP.

 

[Carl]

Remember when people thought GT5 was a flop

 

[sense]

not bad for a title releasing only on last gen console overshadowed by the launches of ps4 and xb1

 

[Pophead]

4.7 million for a PS3 title that released alongside the launch of the PS4 isn't bad. Obviously not as great as GT5 but still decent numbers nonetheless.

Also their new website is so much better, much more sophisticated then the old one.

 

[neurosyphilis]

About to get to 80 million next year.

 

[jetsetnickradio]

They were like "GT6 finally beat the PSP game, we can post the numbers now."

 

[benzy]

Hope this means GTsport news soon.

 

[Freeman]

I still find it pretty weird there wasn't a port of GT6 for PS4, it wold have sold really well 2 years ago.

 

[coolmast3r]

Wow, so GT6 is almost at 5 milllion copies sold, that's a lot more than I thought.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Thought GT6 did in line with the other titles in the series for a hot minute then I realised I was looking at a PSP game and a Prologue. Dang.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

GT6 was low, as expected, but still sold decently. I can't imagine they lost money on it.

 

[stryke]

Such a huge drop. Release timing was incredibly poor. It should have been cross gen at the very least.

 

[nephilimdj]

Wow really didnt expect GT5 to of sold that many

 

[Loudninja]

Still selling too.

 

[Eolz]

Very nice. How in the world did they ship that many psp?

I think I remember GT PSP being in hardware bundles, and even in Vita bundles.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I feel like calling it "GT Sport" is going to lose some sales versus them just calling it GT 7.

Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[hesido]

I still find it pretty weird there wasn't a port of GT6 for PS4, it wold have sold really well 2 years ago.

They probably want to get that Gran Turismo drought on the PS4 to release a 10 million selling game. I personally think they'll stay at 7-8 million this time.

 

[JP]

I like how they waited until GT6 surpassed GT PSP.

Is it not to do with the anniversary of the release? It was released about this time two years ago.

EDIT:
Ah, it was released on 6th December worldwide, apart from the Asian territories.

 

[viHuGi]

Sport incoming!

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I like how they waited until GT6 surpassed GT PSP.

That stood out the most. Huge mistake launching 6 on a dying console.

Huge...

 

[Loris146]

I need new info about GT Sports.

 

[kenta]

GT6 and GT5 sales should be swapped :/

(I thought GT6 was more well-done than GT5 though I don't know what the common consensus is. (Also I didn't play much of either 5 or 6))

 

[leatherhat]

Shackled by terrible release decisions by sony, the the flop in the series is still well over what most games can hope to achieve.

 

[hamchan]

Man that drop from GT5 to 6 is still massive.

 

[Y2Kev]

I still find it pretty weird there wasn't a port of GT6 for PS4, it wold have sold really well 2 years ago.

They didn't really need it at launch but like Christmas 14? Would have been smart.

I bet their engine is just a Hank jank stank on PS3 and it wasn't worth porting it.

 

[Loudninja]

Dont think its that simple at all.

 

[Kysen]

Crazy how much this series still sells compared to the rest. GT6 was launched at the worst time ever.

 

[EGM1966]

I enjoyed how much late life support PS3 got but GT6 felt like one last big title too far. TLOU was perfect high to wrap big first party exclusives on and GT6 should clearly have come to PS4 instead of launching on PS3 after PS4 launched.

 

[Toki767]

Gran Turismo PSP did pretty well. Shame they didn't do Gran Turismo Vita.

 

[Avtomat]

GT6 get so much hate but from what I can tell from playing the demo it was absolutely great and the youtube vids I have seen show it off as a technical marvel on PS3.

It looks a really great game one of the few I wish I had kept the PS3 around to play with.

 

[Kyoufu]

I still have no idea what Gran Turismo Sport is.

 

[benzy]

GT6 was low, as expected, but still sold decently. I can't imagine they lost money on it.

GT5P sales probably paid for all of GT5&6 development.

 

[Shenmue]

Damn 6 barely outsold psp.

 

[Tankard]

I can't believe GT 6 sold this much, i know in comparison it lost half the potential sales but the game was sent to die a horrible death. GT fans are really incredibly loyal, damn.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Not in line with other GT games but not as bad as people thought for GT6
GT7\Sport should bring the series back up .

 

[ItIsOkBro]

GT6 sales are good but not GT good

 

[benzy]

Seems there's a bunch of cool interviews with the development staff now too.

 

[Zophar]

Surprised to see GT5 in line with 4. 6 really deserved better.

 

[Curufinwe]

Finally.

This thread was hilarious.

[HarryKS]

Sells well at a discounted price.

 

[Cobaiye]

The GT Sport background video on the homepage has longer and overlay-less shots from the trailer.

EDIT: There it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTGI7fP_OAM

 

[zelas]

Remember when people thought GT5 was a flop

People truly don't understand its worldwide appeal.

 

[Serial Butt Grabber]

GT6 selling just above PSP version...

 

[Curufinwe]

I bet their engine is just a Hank jank stank on PS3 and it wasn't worth porting it.

That seems likely. They were better off working on GT sport since the PS4 did not need a GT game to sell huge numbers.
