GT7 is just trailing behind GT3 to become the biggest Gran Turismo ever in dollar sales, and the biggest game in the franchise.

I'm so happy for them and they usually have long legs but this is great! GT6 was a little bit of an outlier but it went right back up after GTS and now this!
Lifetime dollar sales is a poor metric given the disparity in prices. Should really only compare units sold.
Even with the discrepancy in dollar sales the difference in units should not be that big.
Taking hypothetical full price comparison.
1.00m x $70 = 1.16m x $60 = 1.4m $50
So even with average discrepancy of $20 dollars you will have both close to each other like 1m to 1.4m or 2m to 2.8m.
I think title should specify in the US.
Eh maybe, but I think it wouldn't matter if it sells less as long as it brings more money.
We had GT games launching for $40 and $50 too... Those are all the best selling ones

Looking at old data via WebArchive the numbers are really bigger than what I guessed.

Even if we take the price difference the numbers should be really high for GT7... I was guessing someting around 1.5-2 million but I believe it is at least 3 million to be ahead GT, GT2 and GT4.
And what is even crazier is that Mat said it can surpass in dollar sales GT3 this year.
For that I guess it needs at least 5 million imo (5m x $40 avg ~ 7m x $28 avg ... 4m x $40 avg ~ 7m x $22 avg).

Taking inflation into consideration GT7 is way cheaper now than GT3 was when released. We also have to consider that on top of that, GT7 has microtransactions and GT3 didn't.
It's not over 3 million and definitely isn't ahead of the GT 1 - 4 in units. GT1, GT 2 & GT4 were added to the Greatest Hits collection which were then sold at a reduced price of $20 which pushed sales even more... So using dollars isn't telling the full picture.Looking at old data via WebArchive the numbers are really bigger than what I guessed.

GT3 as we know was heavily bundled hence the huge increase so I doubt that one will ever be passed.

Using GTS data we have lead to GT7 being over 3 million.
GTS is around 3.2m in America in units.
If GT7 did not crossed 3 million then it is very close to it because US is around 90% of America that brings GTS data to mininum 2.8m.
That doesn’t matter.
Circana has the data from how much you are paying on the game or the console in a bundle.
It is not free.
Sometimes the discount is not even in the game but the console.

Sometimes ppl buy the bundle just bcus of the game. I hate when ppl bring up tht bundle excuse.
