Over five years under development, and Gran Turismo 5 franchise didn’t missed a beat. In fact, it’s so powerful a brand that doesn’t matter what other PS3 exclusive game’s made the headlines as of recently, the real racing simulator’s still top dog amongst the gathering.
To prove it’s staying appeal, Gran Turismo 5 has sold 5.5 million units in less three weeks, topping all other PS3 exclusives in the sales department easily.
That’s Metal Gear Solid 5: Snake Eater, Uncharted 1 & 2, Killzone 2 and all the other popular PS3 brands.

“As of December 6, more than 5.5 million units of Gran Turismo 5 have been sold worldwide. Gran Turismo 5 will further continue to contribute to the expansion of the PS3 platform,” read the press release.
Most of the game’s sales came from Europe, however, with said region buying up 3.5 million units thus far, compared to North America, with 1.2 million copies sold.
Here’s the full GT5 numbers quencher for each game in the long-running series. Dating back from PSone:
- Gran Turismo – 10.98 million Worldwide
- Gran Turismo 2 – 9.34 million
- Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec – 14.80 million
- Gran Turismo Concept 2001 – 1.50 million
- Gran Turismo 4: Prologue – 1.34 million
- Gran Turismo 4 – 10.86 million
- Gran Turismo 5: Prologue – 5.03 million
- Gran Turismo PSP – 2.24 million
- Gran Turismo 5 – 5.52 million
Amazing.
Hmmm, vg247 says the “GT5″ numbers are shipped (sold to retailers) numbers but based on the official japan sales figuresp for GT5, it’s pretty much exact and the other numbers for previous GT games is on par with various other estimations.
.
Regardless, I have no doubt that GT5 will sell atleast 10 million LTD

Ehr no, no, no. I mean. No. GT5 will NOT sett 5 million units in two weeks – never.
In Sony auspices means “sold” normally sold to stores and not necessarily for consumers, so it should perhaps take
