Awesome numbers for GT4, it deserves them. Even more impressive, considering it was only available for five days. For comparison, GT3 sold 573,296 copies during it's first month, with 19 days of availability during that month. So I guess the lack of online play really fucked Gran Turismo up, Forza 4 life, yo.

Glad to see the PS2 absolutely bitchslapping the Xbox and Cube again, too. Considering it's better than both of them put together, it deserves to sell likewise.

<3 Xbox.

For a second there, I almost believed that Gran Turismo sold 30 million copies.

And it was cute that for a while Xbox outsold PS2, but I think it's pretty safe to say now that it was due to shortages.

I own all three systems.

Me too, and the Xbox is the best evar.

we love xbox.

GT4 :tu:

video games suck.. who cares..

Maruchan can't open a jar.

Maruchan, that's the TNL spirit! I'm glad to see stuff on Nintendo systems selling well, especially for the GC.
