My note: GTS must be bigger than 82,000, so also beating GT3 launch, even though Eurogamer did not mention that.
Gran Turismo Sport is the UK's number one game, with almost three times as many physical launch week sales as racing game rival Forza 7 managed.
Data from Chart-Track reveals Gran Turismo Sport, the first in Sony's long-running racing sim series to launch on PlayStation 4, had better week one unit sales than both the original Gran Turismo, which launched on PS1 back in 1998, and the last version, Gran Turismo 6, which launched on PS3 back in 2013.
But Gran Turismo Sport's sales success is dwarfed by the series high - 2010's Gran Turismo 5 had week one sales over three times higher.

Gran Turismo Sport is the most successful racing game launch of the year so far, in a period where we've seen a number of notable competitors. It has comfortably outpaced Project CARS 2, Forza 7 and F1 2017. Despite being a single-format release, it also sold slightly ahead of the week one sales of Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
