10 years later, I'm coming here and yup, I was right when I was saying the franchise was on a downward trend.

GT6 did 5.22M and GTS did an awful 3.77M.

True. What a monster. I predicted 10.5M back in days. GT5 pretty much exceeded everyone's expectations at this point.

The last shipped data is 10.66m as of Mar 2013. Yeap I believe the shipment is at least close to 12 million right now.

If VGC is undertracking it then it is really a little amount... 11 million max like CGI said.

And you dare blaming me of being condescending. Dude, you're the one here who is aggressive. What a joke.

Listen, I brought up so many arguments showing the franchise is on a downhill. You are asking why are we using GT6 numbers to determine if the franchise is growing or going down, really??? As if it is GT6 is not part of the franchise. I even gave you examples of declining franchises and how a statistical trend is working but you REFUSE to heard them.

And one last thing about your obsession on my previous prediction, I predicted 9 million unless bundled, the game has been bundled and did manage to reach 10.5M. If that's what you called being ''100% wrong'' then good for you my friend. Whatever makes you sleep better at night.

The franchise is on a downhill based on the numbers of GT4, 5 and 6. That's not an opinion, that's a statistical fact and I don't even want to argue with you on this. Will GT7 reverse this trend? Maybe, maybe not. The thing is we don't need to wait for GT7 before confirming this as of now as we don't need to wait until the next Call of Duty game or Pro Evolution Soccer game to confirm that these franchises are also on a downhill. Got it? Now can we just closed out this discussion once and for all?

What the use to give you examples if you don't look at them...and based on your last comment you clearly proved that you don't know how a trend works. Even if GT7 sells 8 million, the average trend will still show a decrease, unless GT8 sell better than GT7. If this happens then the trend would have been reversed.

Honestly at this point you're just totally acting in bad faith. That's a shame. As for the prediction of what GT7 will sell, why don't you commit yourself first and give me yours Mr. I-Don't-Do-Predictions-Because-I-Don't-Want-to-Be-Proved-Wrong.

You clearly don't know the concept of a trend. A trend is not reflected by a perfect straight line, there could be variations but in the end the line is going up or down, even a child can understand this (not an insult, just the reality).

Just take for example the Madden franchise (all platforms combined):

Madden 2009: 7.89M
Madden 2010: 7.52M
Madden 2011: 6.53M
Madden 2012: 5.45M
Madden 2013: 6.11M
Madden 2014: 4.99M
Maddden 2015: 4.54M (as of now)

You can clearly see a trend. The same goes for GT. GT7 will surely sell better than GT6 but it doesnt change the fact that as of now the trend shows a decrease in sales. No need to wait until GT7, to confirm that. That said, sometimes a trend can be reversed (see Mortal Kombat series). But as of now, we can clearly state that the Gran Turismo franchise is on a downhill. Maybe it's hard for you to admit it, but the numbers speak for themselves.

My original prediction did not failed, the game WAS bundled. Also this prediction was based on the fact that the franchise was going down this is why I'm bringing GT6 sales into the topic even if you don't like that.

Really, you are arguing like a 10 yo child. You don't want me to bring GT6 sales but would like to wait for GT7 figures before conceding the franchise is on a downhill. This is ridiculous.

Gran Turismo 3 = 14.98M
Gran Turismo 4 = 11.66M
Gran Turismo 5 = 10.53M
Gran Turismo 6 = 3.03M

If you cannot see a trend there, there is no more to be said then.

Yeah that's right, I predicted it would not reached 10M unless bundled and guess what...it was! :D

By the way, 10M is just a number for me but seems to be an obsession for you. Paying as much attention to a number is quite...disturbing to say the least. What's important is not the numbers, but what is the meaning of these numbers. GT5 numbers is showing a decrease in sales for the franchise and GT6 is confirming that. Sorry again for bursting your bubble.

GT4 did not have that much bundles, rereleases, special editions, promotions and discounts and still sold one million more (or 500k according to you). That said, GT5 needs to be compared to GT3, not 4. Your GT6 analysis is just empty (why selling so bad in comparison to GT2 and/or GT4?)

Anyway, we're just going round in circles.

You think that the franchise is going well while I think it is not.

At this point let's just agree to disagree.

The fact that GT5 did not manage to outsell its counterparts despite all the bundles, rereleases and special editions reveals something about the strength of the franchise. GT6 numbers is just confirming that trend, like it or not.

And stop calling the sales being undertracked, at that point I don't think 500k more copies sold would make such a difference in the analysis.

@CGI-Quality

GT5 was the first iteration of the series on a new generation of console therefore you have to compare it with GT and GT3. GT6 on the other hand can be compared with GT2 and GT4. That said, both GT5 and GT6 failed in outselling their counterparts. Based on GT5 and GT6 sales we can easily see the franchise is going down. Maybe GT7 will reverse this trend, who knows?

I don't see the point in waiting for GT7 (or GT8 while you're at it) numbers before ''conceding'' the sales dropped in comparison to GT games of previous generations.

@CGI-Quality

Let's make it clear, I only care about the sales, this site's main focus is on video game sales and this page is not a fan page, but a page to share our thoughts about the sales.

What speaks for itself is the fact that you'e calling out my prediction while you ignore the ridiculously high ones made by others. When speaking about GT6 which is part of the series, last I heard, you're saying this is irrelevent and off topic as if we can only speak of the game and not the franchise.

When I predicted the game would not reach 10 million, my main argument was that the franchise was on a downhill. The game barely reached 10 million and I was wrong in my prediction but my main argument is still true. The franchise is going done, bottom line.

You're pointing out my prediction but don't talk about all the ones who predicted this game to be the best selling GT game ever. A lot of them even predicted 15 million sales.

And GT6 is just proving my point, this franchise is going down, not the other way around.

Why on earth has this been adjusted down FFS? I mean come on, we had shipment figures of 10.66M as of March 2013 directly from PD, with where the shipments went to (for Asia, Japan, NA and Europe). There's no way in hell that GT5 has 270k+ on shelves for more than a year. They were right before when it was 10.8m.

Europe needs adjusting massively.

@Kyuu Read one more time, ''DIDNT sell as terrible as I was expecting''.
GT5 sales are good, not great as it did not reached GT3 numbers (not even GT4) as so many of you predicted it would. It just didn't happen and it won't, live with it. I'm sorry if this is not a ''postitive comment'' but this is just the truth.

Now if you guys think GT6 sales are good, then good for you. FYI GT4 was also released late in the PS2 lifecycle and still managed to sell 11.66M. GT6 will be lucky to sell 1/2 of that.

Not sure I believe the numbers here tbh, whilst yeah there was the re-release last year I fail to see how the game has managed to be up YOY, at least not by the 23.8% shown here I think 2011 should be more closer to 2.15m units sold then 2.2m units sold in 2012. I also think that it's undertracked as shipment figures by March were 10.66m and meaning there would be roughly 350k on selves in March, leading into the slower months, which I fail to believe considering most retailers will be wanting to have sold through gt5 stock come the end of next week and I don't think it's beyond the reaches of imagination to think that there has been a further shipment of gt5 since march so I'm saying it's ~200k undertracked

I was saying the game won't reach 10M and it barely did (now just over 10.5M mark). As CGI said they were people far worse than me like the one predicting 15M+ numbers.

That said, the game did not reach GT3 numbers (first GT of last gen), not even GT4, despite all the marketing, bundles, promotions, price cut, etc. But I have to admit it didnt sell as terrible as I was expecting during its first year of selling.

You have to admit though, for the first year or so it was looking shaky. This game didn't open big, and a lot of people are shocked that it's still appearing in the top 50 or so week after week. This game could have undersold GT2, but it didn't. There is still a chance that future GT games won't break 10 million either, I was looking at a screen from Sony's Press conference and they only expect the PS4 to outsell the PS3 by a bit (85-95 million units lifetime), and if they make 2 Gran Turismo games, there is still a chance it won't break 10 million.

However that's eons from now, lets just be happy about this.

There is still a very small outside chance that GT5 doesn't break 10 million, but I doubt it. It sold about 1.5 million in 2012, and 300k in the first quarter of 2013. I think 2013 annual sales will probably cross 1 million, and then all it needs is 500k in 2014, which it will get. A lot of late PS3 buyers probably have GT5 on their lists.

I think it's safe to assume from now on that all new GT games (on consoles) will break 10 million.

I don't know if this can do 10 million with GT6 coming... potentially this decade.

we also know the uncharted franchise is undertracked. in april ND released sales numbers. there was a 3 million difference between ND numbers and VGC numbers. 3 million! ND said the shipped 17.3 million uncharted games (i dont know if this includes Uncharted golden abyss, if it doesnt then VGchartz had like 3.5 million less than Naughty dogs numbers). currently Vgchartz has sales for the Uncharted franchise (including Golden Abyss) at 17.15 million, thats still .15 million less than official numbers released 8 months ago. if we exclude Golden Abyss, that 1.05 million less than official shipped numbers from 8 months ago. in both cases Vgchartz claims that Uncharted franchise still hasnt sold all of its shipments from April 2012, 8-9 months ago. So we know for a fact its undertracked, and if those number excluded Golden Abyss, we know that it is undertracked even more. hopefully ND releases more figures, so we can see where its really at.

God of War 3 and Gran Turismo are the only games we know about, is there not a possibility other games are under tracked as well?

VGC will have this at about 8.7 million by the end of the year. I wonder what Polyphony will show for shipments.

@sunof: they clearly just don't want to do it, even when it's well known for example, that GOW3 has sold over 5 mill. copies so far, and they have that game at 4.50

Well there was a report last time on a game forum where Polyphony had Gran Turismo by over 9.3 M. I dont know why vg charts doesnt change the sales for games that are proofed to be undertracked.( Gran Turismo 5 and God of War 3). They have the official numbers now for several weeks ( Gran Turismo 5) and months ( God of War 3) and they didnt update it. Why? No time?

So taking into consideration the under tracking, it should be over over 9 million right?

make sure to get any of the logitech race wheels like the G25,G27 or the driving force GT to get the best experience from GT5, ethomaz is right there is no other game on the console's with gameplay that can rival GT5's physics, this is a must have game for the PS3.

@Mario_pana There is not other game in the market with similar gameplay to GT5, GT5 is not a racing game... it's a racing simulator... and YES I think you need to buy this game

There is something special about this game but the gameplay is okay for a racing game since I am not a car racing fan, BUT THE GRATHICS MAKE ME BE ATRACTED TO IT. 😊
Should I buy this game ?

my guess for PD numbers at end of year: 9.8 million.
VGchartz numbers: 8.55 million.
it will be laughably undertracked.

Next PDs official numbers will show 10m, or a very close number.

Probably passed 9 million in retail sales without even being bundled. Wow it will probably pass Halo Reach by the end of the Year and possibly 11m by the end of the year...nice! And VGC either you guys are incredbily lazy...or you hate this game by not updating its numbers to the true amount

PD undertracked it in the first report for Sep 2012... the today (updated) report show GT5 shipped 9.19 million copies as Sep 2012... 180k copies more than the previous report.

if a game is rubbish it wont sell, metacritic is not the last word it just averages up review scores, let's not start a stupid argument as its been said already this wall is not littered with petty arguments so lets leave it clean and stop the arguments before they begin.

those stats are not shipped they are sold, if you look at VG's sales stats for the other GT games they all match up nearly exactly the same apart from GT1 which has sold more according to VG and GT5P which is also undertracked, either way as long as it keeps selling the way it does no doubt this will be yet another GT game to sell over 10 million, i think it might sell 10million before the ps4 is announced at E3 next year though i wont take bets on it lol.

I just heard that walmart is going to have gt5 for sale for 10 dollars on black friday! I wonder how much that will boost sales?

The 9 m are shipped numbers to retailers. But anyway undertracked byabout 500-600k units.
A year ago i have thinked this will get 10 M lifetime but i was wrong. Lifetîme sales will be more in the rnage of 11-12 M. By far the best selling Gran Turismo ( in fact the recovered the production values with the Prologue Edition alone)

Any bet Gran Turismo 6 will also have a prologue version at first.

basically GT5 will easily hit 10 million sales by xmass as its already past 9 million, vgchartz has under tracked GT5's sales and i would not be surprised to find that so too has the ps3 console sales, its always selling more than the 360 in fat all year the 360's been lagging behind the ps3 so what's going on!

10 years later, I'm coming here and yup, I was right when I was saying the franchise was on a downward trend.

GT6 did 5.22M and GTS did an awful 3.77M.

True. What a monster. I predicted 10.5M back in days. GT5 pretty much exceeded everyone's expectations at this point.

"GT5 total just shy of 12 million units (11.94). This pushes the 2010 title into second place within the franchise, second only to GT3’s massive 14.89 million"

The last shipped data is 10.66m as of Mar 2013. Yeap I believe the shipment is at least close to 12 million right now.

If VGC is undertracking it then it is really a little amount... 11 million max like CGI said.

@CGI GT5 sold pretty well the prologue sales for it were excellent too. Can you PM me the info regarding why you think Polyphony will update their numbers soon?
