NPD has reported the December sales for Gran Turismo 6 over in the USA and it’s off to a slow start.
Official figures show that Gran Turismo 6 only sold 180,000 units in the USA in the month of December. It was already reported earlier this week that overall sales of the game is at 2 million units. Not bad, but far behind the 5 million copies Gran Turismo 5 sold in its first week.
Again, this shows that Gran Turismo 6 was released at a bad time. Not to mention Microsoft’s Forza series has increasingly become more popular over in the USA. With the release of Xbox One and Forza 5, USA buyers forgot about GT6. There was also the release of the PS4 too that could have impacted the game’s sales too.

The user base might have been lower, but many would have bought it because it was the new game on the new console, I’m sure attach rates would have been very high.

January 19, 2014 at 6:46 PMGRAN TURISMO 6 WHAT A SAD JOKE THIS GAME IS IN MY OPINION. YES it does play smoothly and the graphics are superb BUT after only being out for one month I am nearly through the entire game, unless after I get the last few golds it will open up a whole new round of challenging races, I only race maybe 4 timesa week for 2 to 4 hours, I am really disappointed in this release. Gran Turismo 5 provided months and months of gaming fun races and I expected as much or more from 6.
Shame on you. I may just as well buy the X-box and say it was nice knowing you Gran Turismo and go with Forza for my racing enjoyment
