 Sony Computer Entertainment Inc has announced that the cumulative worldwide shipment of the Gran Turismo franchise - a racing and car-life simulator - available on PS1, PS2, and PS3, has exceeded 50 million units as of April 30, 2008.
These sales figure were achieved in just 10 years and 4 months since the launch of the first title in the franchise - Gran Turismo, in December 1997.
The Gran Turismo franchise, from the original Gran Turismo to the latest Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, has continued to evolve alongside the PlayStation platforms.
The seventh installment Gran Turismo 5 Prologue introduces entirely new entertainment modes by taking advantage of the broadband network, such as online head-to head racing for up to 16 players, “GRAN TURISMO-TV”; a new in-game online channel that delivers automotive video contents from around the globe, and downloadable additional contents including new cars and courses.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has recorded strong sales since the first launch in Japan in December, 2007, followed by North America and Europe in Spring of 2008, with more than 2 million units of cumulative shipment worldwide and contributing to the further expansion of the PS3 platform.
