At this rate it looks like it might not even break the five million unit mark.
What do you think these initial numbers mean for the GT franchise?

Please discuss.
PlayStation 3 racer Gran Turismo 6 has debuted with around five times fewer sales than its predecessor GT5.
GT6 arrived in the UK all-formats chart in eighth place this week, and was the only major new release.
