Better than GT6 and it's not even a numbered entry plus higher digital ratio. I think it sold 1.3 million in total.
True, but I believe the consensus was GT6 did modest numbers for the series do platform and release date. This is the first GT and its hyped a complete game being updated over time.
This just goes to show that an average 76 score on Metacritic isn't everything.
I think it's pretty sad that you're happier with sales figures than the overall quality of the game.
I think it's pretty sad that you're happier with ignorance by not reading reviews of the game in which the quality is there. What it lacks is content which has been compensated and will be compensated by updates of new content.
If I only played games based on Metacritic scores, I would sadly miss out on so many great games. Total agree with LivingMetal!
The game is great and there is content, a lot of the reviews are faulty... reading ones that are more dedicated to racing or serious like arstechnica, eurogamer, etc they said the game is good but sure had less content than competition.
The score is a reflection of the lack of content, lacking value some might say. Other racers would get lower scores for the same reason.
I love the game <3
Impressive.
I imagine that PD continuing a strong push with post-launch updates, this game will have pretty solid legs. Having better launch sales than GT6 isn’t amazing, but it’s still solid considering how badly reviewers put this game down, compared to the competition.
For GT Sports, do you need to have PSN Plus or just interest access in order to play the game?
PSplus for multiplayer (which is the main focus of this game anyways). Internet connection is enough for singleplayer.
Okay thank you! I just wanted to make sure because I don't have PSN Plus.
So wait until the middle of this month to get the free DLC that will increase the singleplayer campaign
A glorified prologue. No other series atm can come close to this. And I'm talking sim racers on console. GT7 will be in an even bigger league of its own.
There won't be any GT7. This IS GT7...and as we know already the missing GT mode will come next week!
76 metacritic says otherwise
The only criticism all those reviewers had was lack in content anyway...most said it’s an excellent racer, which it is. The lack in content is going to be resolved soon, starting with the career update next week.
A lot lower than most previous GT, but I like the game a lot.
Proud of my German (and European) brethren! Nation of car (and GT) lovers for sure :)
are there any tvs that take advantage of the wide colour gamut spectrum this game has?
Nope, the full spectrum of the game have no TV to see it by what Svennoj looked at.
Holy damn rip gran turismo, hopefully this is a lesson for both sony and pd.
It's fine because it's actually succeeding at what it set out to do. It also apparently has legs (I base that on hearsay). It will be fine.
You're clueless if you think those sales are bad. It sold better than GT6 and it doesn't even count digital sales. For fuck sake who is disliking everything positive said about this game?
First week sales of Forza 170.000
First week sales of GTS 1.000.000
R.I.P. Gran Turismo!? lol
Yep... Forza is the king of racing that no one want to be subject to, so it seems.
It had 300% boost for the BF on UK.
Had to sell. Games being sold for $29 and even bundled with controllers.
Sadly for your agenda this launch week only includes full priced sales. But yeah when the bf $30 week comes around it will do huge numbers again.
Haha at the dislikes over facts. The game is sold at bargain prices and bundled heavily. 1m for a $30 game with a high profile name to it and bundled with PS4s and controllers. You tell me, is 1m really alot? Probably should have done heaps more. Not trolling just stating the obvious. My mate picked it up for $79 because he brought the GT PS4 Controller.
This is launch week sea at full price. Try harder.
What you think of forza 7 sales? After 3 weeks it's sales are only a third of this games first week.
@kerotan his head is far too deep in MS' arse. He won't understand what you are saying.
Same goes for Forza 7 and it still didn’t sell.
@kerotan why do i care for Forza 7 sales? There not great either. Id prefer a 86 meta over a 76 though. Gsme quality and value > sales any day.
Plus your comparing a $30 game to a $70 game with less bundles. Logic.
So you don't care about neither game but come here to comment, attack and compare??? Great...
Still do you intend at any point understand that retail only it done 1M at 60USD?
Azzazination
Can you please enlighten us where GTS was 30 dollars at launch week?! Cause if I had known I’d have bought it.
Consider the margin of error and give it 1M =]
Also I haven't checked but are the numbers compatible with NPD, Japan and UK numbers?
