Gran Turismo 5 Sells More Than 6M Worldwide
Gran Turismo 5 developer Polyphony Digital has opened its books and revealed that the latest version in its sim-racing series has sold more than six million units around the globe.
This sales chart from the company shows that Europe is the leading seller of the game, accounting for almost four million in sales, with North America nabbing second place with over a million in sales. Surprisingly, Polyphony's home country of Japan only makes up for just over a half-a-million in sales. Then again, looking at the historical sales chart, Japan has usually notched third place in the franchise's history.
With greatest hits status surely still to come, it'll be interesting to see how GT 5 stacks up against the other entries in the series in the long run.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
