Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announced today that first day sales of Gran Turismo 4 have broken the record for Playstation 2 in PAL territories. The single day sales have been impressive to say the least, shipping 3,182,535 units of the game. The game is also shipped with the new slimmer Playstation 2 model. In total so far, the Gran Turismo series has sold about 38 million units around the world.
"The reaction to Gran Turismo 4 from retailers across PAL territories has exceeded even our high expectations," said David Reeves, President, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. "This Day One number reflects the popularity and broad appeal of the series – not only with seasoned GT buyers but with driving fans, motoring enthusiasts and casual gamers alike. We expect Gran Turismo 4 to become the "must-have" title for anyone who owns a PlayStation 2 or anyone thinking about purchasing one."

or GT5 for PS3 lol
GT3 was great, and GT4 is a great improvement upon it. This new addition has been worth the wait.
lol... I regret spending 30 bucks on GT3, cause there was so few cars. (even if the graphics were great) They should have scraped GT3 and make GT4 as GT3.
Don't get me wrong i have an XBOX and love it but no racing game to date on the box has even touched GT.
Forza Motorsports will have to prove it's self.
Just another reason to have all 3 systems.
(this is coming from an xbox fan)
But my initial impressions of GT4 (had it for an hour or two now) - well, I dont know if its just me but the graphics in game actually seem slightly less impressive than GT3:A Spec?! The new handling system is a liiitle bit unusual but i'm sure i'll adjust.. but like the new cars and the new features available. I'm sure its going to be awesome once I get into it a bit more
again, as an xbox guy, the graphics in gt4 are just stunning.
No doubting how good the models look when rendered up in the photo gallery though.. dayyyuuumm..
ABC and a half!

If they can push the PS2 this far, imagine what they could do with a 6800. I feel robbed because we could have something amazing but the man is holding us down just to make an extra buck. F* greed.
ABC and a half!
online play isn't for me. single player is the only way i play.. or multiplayer with friends.
that is a lot of copies to sell in the short period of time its been out though. and im pretty sure the online version won't be that popular because it will be too late by that time.. most people who want the game just won't have the online version.
pkmugg and a half!
Awesome game, way better than GT3 and a half!
ABC and a a half!
Love the game though, I would have rathered it had On-line play but i aint that bothered, the single player is great!
