UK:Gran Turismo Sport on track to be No.1 PS4 exclusive of the year in sales

Not really - it wasn't selling and they wanted it to, especially at this time of year.
It 'narrowly' had a better launch week and has had longer legs since. It's not too far ahead though, it seems.
Honestly from how Kaz has talked about it I think they are taking the razor approach with it. They want to get the base game in as many hands as possible to sale more if the dlc packs. I am sure they would have loved for it to be full priced but they might not need it.
We price sensitive Brits love a bargain and when you add the GT brand to a cheap as chips price, you have a winner.
It was only beat in revenue the past two weeks by Call of Duty WWII (PS4 and XBO) and FIFA 18 PS4, so even with the discounts it's bringing in a lot of money, even more than Battlefront 2 on both platforms individually has done in the last two weeks.
But game had sold decently in 2 weeks after relesase, isn't it? In first 2 weeks over 100k.
It outsold GT6, GT1 and GT5 in launch week in UK
Very good in other countries
Edit :
It's GT3, not GT5.

wew where do you pay as little as £40 for a launch game? Shit is £45+ these days.
The weird thing is though there isn't even any DLC announced right now, and they are giving away like 10 cars for free very soon.
Sorry, was wrong. I'm on mobile, dammit. Stupid touchscreen. Not 5.

Smart move. Better to build a big base to buy future content.
I still think the studio head needs to be replaced or at least closely managed. He has not done a good job with the brand lately.

Well it better be with all those fire sales. Great strategy to sell DLC down the line if the game can keep its players attention.
Amazon, TheGameCollection, ShopTo though yea I was just generalising with £40 games do seem more £45 these days at least its not the £54 digital stores charge.
Sorry, there is a typo.
It outsold GT6, GT1 and GT3, not GT5 as i mentioned before
Most games wouldn't sell like this even when discounted.
Don't forget how digital is now much bigger than it used to be before. Saying the game flopped when released in the uk is just laughable.

They're not. The concept of bundling a game with a console is something everyone is doing for all major games. Instead of including a third party game and paying the company for that copy Sony is taking that money by including one of their games. If people didn't like the game they can always take a different console with a different game or without but they didn't.
This is only retail sales too. I'd imagine the digital version will have done well with the PSN Black Friday deal.
Overpriced at launch though.

There are some pretty valid reasons to want this to bomb, to be honest.
I feel like Sony is heavily discounting all of their games really fast. I remember The Last Guardian getting a $20 pricedrop only about a month after release, and both Horizon and Uncharted Lost Legacy were $20 each on the PSN Black Friday sale.
