GT3 Smashes Industry Records

PlayStation 2: Retailers are hailing Gran Turismo 3 A-spec as the most successful software launch ever - with first day sales outstripping those of any other game in history.

Since its release on July 10 (and today in the U.K.), gamers have being going mad for the speed-fest that is GT3. And why not? After all it is the first real triple A title the platform has seen since its release last October. GT boss, Kazanori Yamauchi, met the U.K. launch this morning with a barrage of speed-hungry gamers, rock bands, and stunning models.

"With an initial product shipment of over one million units, Gran Turismo 3 A-spec broke all internal production records out of the gate exceeding even our high expectations for the product," said Jack Tretton, senior vice president, SCEA.

"This unprecedented demand demonstrates the popularity and broad appeal of Gran Turismo 3 A-spec, and reinforces the fact that millions of consumers are making PlayStation 2 their first choice in entertainment systems. We expect that, like the two Gran Turismo titles before it, Gran Turismo 3 will become a mainstay on the top of sales charts and drive hardware sales along with it, further broadening the PlayStation 2 demographic user base to mass market levels."

Pete Roithmayr, vice-president, Electronics Boutique, affirmed, "Sony Computer Entertainment has truly set a precedent with Gran Turismo 3 A-spec. In the week since its release, this title has performed even better than we had expected. Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec is the fastest-selling PlayStation 2 software title at Electronics Boutique since the launch of the system last October."

"Consumer demand has been astounding," added said Dan DeMatteo, chief operating officer, GameStop. "Throughout our stores nationwide, we sold more units of Gran Turismo 3 A-spec on its first day of release than any other game in our corporate history, and the title continues to fly off shelves at an unparalleled rate."

Just imagine the madness when Metal Gear 2 ships…

Hmmmmmmmmm.........impressive.

Bah, wait for FFX numbers to come in.

1 million isn\'t the best selling game ever, it\'s the best selling launch. And FFX likely did as good if not better. Bah to GT3, and bah to you sheeple...

I heard FFX had like 2 million preorders alone.  :hat:

dude you definetly have some issues

the game is selling fast, why does this scare you or bother you. Just because your not good enough to play the game you put it down every chance you get.

This is your style, why not remove your hands from the keyboard and move along

They were talking about the American market.  Sure FFX is selling faster than GT3 in Japan, but they aren\'t talking about that. :cool:

1-Can I please see your psychology degree?

2-I\'m not scared, but I am bothered that such mediocre game could be the best selling anything. And I have the Japanese version, and rented the US version, I am fine at it.  won most everything I tried at. I quit after awhile \'cause it\'s boring. I can put this pos down as much as I want.

3-....naw. I don\'t take orders from sheeple.

I just now got what you mean by sheeple!  Ha!  Quite clever.

I agree with the rest of your post too.  But I\'m sure when I\'m all excited about FFX there are some people here that will be just as disturbed.

How would me dissing the game on the internet take your enjoyment of the game away? It\'s not like I\'m going in every thread on the GT3 forum and dissing it. I diss where I feel appropriate.

Maybe there are a small group of us with. . . oh my gosh!  Different opinions!

Sticks and stones may break. . . yadda yadda yadda.

mediocre my ass

Only one question for you

Why do you insist on insulting the people who love the game by calling them Sheeple.

All those millions of people buying the game and loving it, but since its not good enough for you then they\'re all sheeple.

Lets try to NOT insult people on the main forum lwith your opionated comments about things you dislike.

 This is the best racer yet!!

Back in the herd with you!

I can\'t believe you feel insulted because of a harmless little jab at the mainstream... the only reason you would is that you know it\'s true.... I won\'t call any members sheeple again in the main forum, happy? I\'ll still use it to reference the mainstream, and I\'ll call members that in debate...
