GT5 sales exceed 60 million worldwide

Sony has shipped way more than the entire prologue sales in 12 days. Says a lot about the demand. Although the critical reception has been mixed, it had less impact on the sales as the game should sell 10 million in a few years easily.

This is what Sony had to say, “Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) announced today that the cumulative worldwide sales of the Gran Turismo® franchise, a genre-defining racing and car-life simulator available on PlayStation®, PlayStation®2, PlayStation®3 (PS3®) and PSP®(PlayStation®Portable), has exceeded 60 million units^* as of 6 December 2010.  This remarkable sales figure was achieved in just 12 years and 11 months since the Japanese launch of the first title in the franchise, Gran Turismo, in December 1997.”

We enjoyed the game, you can check out our review here and the game deserves all those sales.
