still just under 2 months till x-mass which should see a boost in sales especially with the cheaper 12gb super slim ps3 and GT5 academy edition in the platinum price range, looks like another good year for PD.

maybe i was a bit optimistic about the 9 million by xmass but certainly by the start of 2013 GT5 should reach at least 8.8 million, new PS3 super slim plus new bundles and the new academy edition which as far as i can tell has all the DLC released so far, what's to stop GT5 reaching 8.8 million.

@CGI I can just estimate using the same Shipped/VGC data from GT5... so GT4 shipped 8,790k at Dec 2006 so it crossed 8 million sales in that holiday... It was launched in Dec 2004 so almost 2 years after release.

@retrogamer 9 million is probably being a bit optimistic. Probably closer to 8.5-8.8. Still at this point 10 million is pretty much a certainty. As most others have been saying probably late 2013 or early 2014. I'm still sticking to my prediction of 12 million lifetime.

now as you simply cant win your pathetic weak little argument and you also forget you said "most store bought junk gaming PCs would easily muster double that" meaning you was on about running with max settings not minimum you moron, cant win an argument so you try the old "at least i didnt have a swear fest bullshit" lol you lost plain and simple now deal with it kid.

@Genera1MLD
you seem a little bit upset, but it's okie you see in the original post all you mentioned was fps, and all I mentioned was fps also. Now if you want to go into any other settings being used other than fps I would make the suggestion that you mention them before going off having a little swear fest to yourself, as mature and intellectual as that comes off when someone does it on the internet.

just a nice quote from you tho. You physically can't take that people disagree with your opinions tho.

Dirt 3 on the PC is optimized to run with DX11 textures i suggest you try running Dirt 3 on 7 year old PC hardware and embarrass you're self, most "store bought" systems will struggle to hit 60 fps let alone 100.

tell you what create a youtube channel and get a "crappy store bought" pc and run the dirt 3 benchmark with all settings set to ultra @ 1920x1080 then post a link here with the result (i know you wont cause i know you're talking shit as you know fuck all about PC's and PC games).

Oh sorry I thought you were just disregarding everything other than just sales here? like the time gone into making sure the cars handle, look and sound like the real thing? or the quality of the tracks, graphics, reflections. Generally everything you would expect from a Racing simulator that you would find in the likes of Forza4 all disregarded by sales, it was my reasoning for saying that Mario Kart Wii is the Racing simulator of this generation. Even twice as good a simulator as Gran Turismo 3 on the ps2 even.

Going 100% by your standards of rating ofc genera1mld I would like to consider things such as, reality when it comes to what makes a game good. but just wouldn't mind your thoughts on that?

i only do it cause i know it agitates them so much it makes them constantly cry but the sheer fact that the whole metacritic score thing did nothing to boost sales,

i unfortunately bought forza 4 last october when it came out and the first week or so i played it non stop 'almost' however as the weeks went on so did the races and the games longetivity just vanished, having had it then for over a month i wanted to sell it but as sales for it were quite bad ok they were piss poor trade and cash prices just made it like i was practically giving it away for free, £60 payed plus 2400msp for the season pass that conveniently ran out before the Porsche pack was released for a further 1600msp.

ive seen forza 4 in supermarket bargain bins where usually you find small label not very well recieved/poor selling games, ive yet to see GT5 in any of these bargain bins.

i dont usually bash a game unless i feel like the developer has/is deliberately milking it with constant charged for DLC like a new car pack every month for 12 months for 560msp and additional car packs for 1600msp that should have been in the game from launch but couldn't cause of licencing issues.

gt5 is much better value than forza 4 and i dont know why no one can accept that,
ps im a PC guy.

@pitzy272 they sure will, the Academy Edition will be available before xmass and no doubt will still be at platinum price plus the 360 has no racing sim this year (though forza is actually an arcade racer and a boring 1 at that) GT5 should peak past 8 million to 8.2 million by xmass and be january 2013 it should be close to 8.3 million.

@crissindahouse is it cause you cant handle the truth, sorry pal but unless im flame baiting, trolling or generally being very offensive i cannot be reported unlucky.

Now time to face the truth GT5 got a lower score on metacritic however that's not what the industry bases it's score's on while forza 4 may have got a higher score it's the sales that does all the talking, forza 4 will need to sell over 5m more to overtake GT5 and you know quite simply that's just not going to happen.

now obviously yo cant handle the truth so all you can do rather than try to argue your case you would prefer to just ask people to report somone for having a solid well structured argumnet.

Using the same decrease percentage for its yearly sales as prologue had , u can estimate sales over 1.0 million for gt5s 3rd year putting it well past 8 million by years end and that's assuming it's not bundled anymore than it was in 2011. Should pass gt2 in 2013/2014. And then the crawl to 10 million , gt4 is STILL doing ~100k+ a year. So I have no doubt gt5 will eventually hit 10 million but it would be nice if it got a euro bundle possibly with FIFA 12 for a 2012 holiday push.

This game has awesome legs. I live in switzerland and all i can tell you is that this game never was heavenly bundled. It got a bundle on release year but that was all.
All other Gran Turismo games were heavenly bundled but not this one. All i can say is wow at the sales of this game. If this get to 10 million without much bundling than this is another proof that the Gran Turismo Brand is still very strong.

@ethomaz 2 million on year 2 is not great, specially when the game has been launched in December the previous year and 250k in two months with all new editions and bundles is not great either. Speaking of eating crow, you're the one who predicted 15M lol. As for my prediction, you can find it on this page I predicted 8-8.5M and even mention 9M is possible.

Turn 10 fan boys can inflate their ego's all they want by saying

"Forza is the best franchise ever, PS3 sux Gran Turismo 5 is poo" etc etc.

Fact of the matter is, Gran Turismo has history on each generation of Sony made consoles. Microsoft fan boys can only wish Turn 10 had Polyphony's sales. never will happen. Even if Turn 10 started at the same time as Polyphony, it wouldn't matter. It's like Microsoft fan boys only bought this game just to brag and yet Forza Motorsport 4 hasn't even hit 2 million. If it was the biggest thing since the coming of Jesus Christ it would have double what Gran Turismo 5 has. I'm not a Sony fan boy, but I'm just typing the truth.

Forza 4 might be able to do another 3 million but only with massive bundling just like how Forza 2, 3 and now Forza 4 are being bundled heavily. Really GT5 has hardly even being bundled and your comparing it to a game that only sells by being extensivley bundled? Even with the extensive bndling and large marketing Forza 4 won't be able to come near the GT franchise. There's a reason why it can still sell 30k a week without bundling.

So PD did some more shipments since then, and even though they surely shipped some more than necessary, as nobody sane would risk shortages for Xmas, shouldn't at least those previous 7.3M be all sold to end users by now?

Good observation, surprised for being a smaller name, Forza can still match GT in sales.

No, the utterly ridiculous one here is you since you're the one who does not get the fact that there was indeed hundreds of thousand units on shelves ready for Q4 sales. Now that the holidays are over there are still around 300k+ units on shelves which is also OK and yes overtracking is also possible unless you're too much of a fanboy to recognize it. That said, I was indeed right but I don't expect you or people like you to admit it anyway.

I would expect 7.4 million by now. According to VGC we haven't even surpassed out first shipment (Europe) and now they decided to ship a couple hundred grand more copies? And this is data as of Spetember 2011 where the sales were still surfing at 6 million. So I think as of this date the sales should be:
Europe: 4.1 million (off track)
Japan: 600k + (on track)
North America: 1.8 million (on track)
Global: 7.4 million (Extra 900k for the rest of the world) *Overtracked by 250k*
I could be slightly off however I'm basing these on VGC, Media Crate, NPD, chart track and PD. It is severly undertracked in Germany, U.K. with the data we've got so far. More data will come soon.

As for the 1.3M, I don't think the adjustment was that big (1.3M - 680k = 620k) but anyway I don't get the point of bringing back this number (1.3M) as it does not make part of the calculation anymore.

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?
