I guess it’s appropriate to make news of Publishers shipping games, as oppose to how many they’ve sold.
Sony’s just announced Gran Turismo 5 has shipped 5.5 million units as of this past Monday, with the series as a whole passing 60 million units shipped.
GT5 launched on November 26 worldwide for PS3, and had been seen as one of the most anticipated titles this generation despite countless delays.
The majority of GT5 copies shipped come from Europe, where it shipped 3.5 million units. North America shipped 1.2 million units and Japan shipped 550k.
