I'm convinced its a literal bot account, not an actual human being typing.
I honestly think this, agreed

I dunno why but I could never get into any Gran Turismo game ever, despite the fact that I love racing games (Grid Legends was my #1 most played game this year). I even bought a racing wheel recently because I always dreamed about one, and it feels great especially when combined with VR.
I just find Gran Turismo so incredibly dull, overhyped, overpriced, and up its own ass.

In 2018 GT Sport was estimated to be at 8M by both a hedge fund and the GamStat (which did use PSN info and made pretty good estimates in most cases but not always) website.
That year Sony announced that the series had sold 80.4M, and maybe since they GTS sold around a million or being optimistic maybe a bit more.
GT Sport is now very likely between 9 and 10 million units sold. And GT7 it's almost there, should be at around 9M sold or pretty close even if it has been in the market only during a few months.
GT7 had the fastest selling launch in the series and is on track to be the best selling game ever in the series. GT3 has the record with almost 15M units sold.

Huge congratulations.
I have very fond memories of gran turismo 3 & 4
Even did some of them silly endurance races to get the formula 1 cars in 3 and used the b spec mode to unlock some of old fashioned cars in gt4

can’t believe i was intimidated from this franchise so long, thinking it would be an ultra realistic sim, requiring a home made cockpit or something.
jumped in at 7,
its has a sublime driving feel, plays like dream on dualsense.
honestly it killed every other racing game out there for me.
cant even touch arcade racers anymore.
hopefully new forza will deliver something comparable.

I "only" have more than 300 hours on GT7, and every time I take a break to play other games for some months and then go back to GT7 to see the new updated stuff, i get adicted to it again.
2 days ago was doing the new implemented races, and there was a race where i had do use a Silvia, i started the race with one of my stock Silvias from my garage, and notice some sick looking tuned Silvias the AI was using, and there i went to the tunning shop to spend some credits just to tune up my Silvia too. It ended up a sick looking monster of a car non stop spitting fire from the exaust.
GT7 must now be close to the 10 million mark, i guess they will anounce it once they reach that mark.

I still remember popping into Funcoland before going to work, and they had the brand new Gran Turismo playing on a TV.
Holy shit, it was unlike anything I’d seen with those replays. Bought it on the spot and loved it.
I miss the days of having to earn shit. I mean really earn shit.

With a PC release and VR this game will easily hit over 15m

You may enjoy NFS Unbound. It really makes you work for your cars.
On topic though, after 200+ hours, I’ve still yet to buy 2 of the 3 legendary cars in GT7. In fact, I only bought the Ford Mark IV a couple of days ago. It’ll likely be another 100 hours before I save enough for the other 2!

Its an internet thing. Ppl are only vocal and make noise when thers something they dont like. When a studio fixes alot of those complains and keep delivering free content every month, is not worth it to make a big deal out of it anymore.
For how greedy Polyphony is in the mind of ppl that dont even own or played the game, i now own 222 cars, all diverent since, already sold the duplicates. Now count how many racing games out there even offer 200 cars to be able to play with.

If you need credits in GT7 for very expensive cars, farm the LeMans 30 minute race that pays around 850k credits with the clean race bonus, or the 60 minutes race in Spa that pays 1.5 millions with a clean race bonus. Can also just try to do gold in the circuit experience mode that pays alot. More than 40 million when u do them all, but some are hard, so depends on player skill.

I’ve got the majority of golds in the circuit experience, but I’m not very frugal with my credits - I just buy all the cars I love, which is a lot, and I tend to improve them too. I may try those other races you mentioned. I still have a few of the longer races to complete.
On the flip-side, it feels nice to still have something to strive for, even after playing for 200+ hours.

I havent done the circuit experience races on gold yet, cuz i just need patience to git gud. Even so, i managed to earn 152 Million credits, which i already spent in pretty much all the cars i wanted. I used to do the 30 min LeMans race as my daily race to also get the daily workout complete. So was getting alot of credits from that race alone. I enjoy more the 60 min Spa race. It has a 24h day cicle with weather changes, to me the best race experience in the game.

GT7 will likely reach all but GT3 in sells. GT5 doing so well is awesome, so many fanboys saying the series was over(and again when Sport launched) but the series has remained consistent.saw this in this blog post
over 90 million sold for the series
Polyphony's founders remain working on GT today after 25 years
Polyphony have over 200 people
Celebrating 25 Years of Gran Turismo
Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi shares a personal message to celebrate this momentous milestone.blog.playstation.com
edit: rough quick fact check and math on series sales
GT1 11 million
GT2 9 million
GT3 15 million
GT4 12 million
GT PSP 5 million
GT5 12 million
GT6 6 million
PS1 PS2 PS3 PSP total ~ 70 million
so...
GTS ~ 10-15 million
GT7 ~ 5-10 million (and counting)
PS4 PS5 total ~ 20 million (and counting)

I'll be surprised if gts did that high numbers. Did they ever give the sales numbers? I remember we got player numbers but can't remember if they gave out sales number.
I think gt6 probably did a bit bigher as they stopped reporting the sales after that 6 mill figure and i wouldn't be surpised if they included prologue sales in the series total.

We basically know that all the old GT games combined sold around

Oh yeah forgot GT6 was only ps3, so yeah it probably would have been around 6 million for the final sales.

Ok so I was wrong, I found an article saying 75 million sold in 2015. So a few more than I'd thought.
So GT Sport and GT7 have sold over 15 million combined, basically. Probably like ~ 10/5 split.

The only PS2 game to outsell it was San Andreas at 17M, not even GTA3 or Vice City outsold it.

irony is Ken's PS3 almost killed Polyphony's programmers lol
the wait for GT5 is still to this day why people make jokes about PD taking forever to make a game

Kazunori admits the PS3 era was not kind to Polyphony Digital, but the PS4 "is so good".

Gran Turismo 4 is, to this day, the best racing game ever made. I literally still have my PS2 plugged into my TV to play this one game on my PS2 Slim.
Can't wait to see where the series goes, hopefully we get a full blown next-gen only GT8 by the close of the generation. And, Kaz willing, a PC port to boot.

I said the same when GT3 came out. We were at Best Buy and I told my dad to come check it out and his reply was, "wow that looks better than real life." Haha
