Congratulations to the only Sony IP from the PS1 days that hasn't died.

For a Sony IP, this achievement is even more massive than normal

Yep, they got my money since the '97 Japanese debut. Plus, both Japan and PAL versions from GT up to GT4.
My favourite game shop was loving me during that time.

 

[Johnny Caisse]

I can recall having had 10 Gran Turismo titles.

Had GT1 on Late-Holidays 1997,
Had GT2's 1.00 version in late 1999,
Had GT3 close to late-2001,
Had GT4 on one of it's Quebec launch days on the north shore area during February 2005,
Had GT5 Prologue a few weeks after it came out,
Had GTPSP after seeing a gameplay video while not knowing it was released,
Had GT5 on Late-Holidays 2009,
Had GT6 nearly on release day,
Had GTSport since its open Demo,
Had GT7 since it's release hours.

My favorite video game series of all time (besides the Mass Effect trilogy).

I vividly remember going to the store and buying Gran Turismo 4 on release when I was 13 years old. It was the first game I bought with my own money I got from a student job during the summer break. Good times!

 

[DS13_supergt]

Kaz and all ppl who work at pd really deserve this, for sure they have done mistakes in the past (who doesn't make mistakes), but you gotta love them for the absolute passion they put into what they do.

This picture has been posted before but since we are on the subject.
I'm 44 now and started playing GT in '99.
This is my collection all in mint and working condition.
I Also have two PS5's and a GT7 PS5 disc version game.

 

[Interstellar9]

Great milestone and well deserved!
I was there from the beginning with GT1 followed by GT3, GT4, GT5, GT: Sport and GT7. 😊

 

[Belifant]

why is Kaz romantically talking only about in-store box purchases? Surely these numbers must include digital sales too.

 

[TypeRDC5]

Fully deserved, managed to stay relevant and popular all these years and in an age where everything monetised GT keeps pumping out free updates for years until the next release free of charge.

Still my favourite racing series and the only game series I buy day one without hesitation.

 

[PlanetJanet]

I only joined with GT7 but I must admit it has got under my skin, highly likely I'll be getting GT8 on day one. I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something about GT7 that I have not found in any other racing game.

Been here since the OG. Had an N64 back in the day. Went to Best Buy and they had a PS display with GT you could play. Saw the 1996 Viper Coupe, blue with white stripes. Went home and sold my N64 (put an ad in the local paper for all you youngins out there lol) so I could buy a PS and GT. And that, as they say, is history.

 

[skydragon49]

Awesome milestone by PD!

I do remember the awe I had when I first saw and played GT1 as a teenager. Getting to know a whole variety of cars I never heard of was mindblowing.

Good days.

 

[mastretta_mx]

Countcme with 7 copies out of 9 😁 for GT5 I even bought the collectors edition and for GT7 the 25 anniversary edition

 

[chengman]

I wonder if they count the demo discs they handed out at auto shows as a sale? Because I've got 2 of them

Back when the first gt game came out I knew nothing of cars or even care about cars. Then when the first gt came out my cousin had a ps1 and he bought gt1. I went over to his house and he told me about a new racing game he just bought. So we started to play it and I ask him when he got the money which car was he gonna buy and he showed me the Viper GTS in blue with white stripes and it was love at first sight for me. After that I ask for a ps1 and gt1 since than I have own every mainline GT game.

My favorite video game series of all time too (but now Eve from Stellar Blade has entered my Ferrari 812).

Congrats Polyphony Digital!

Congratz to the team & KAZ for his vision, hard work and pasion since the beginning (these guys changed the industrie and I love being able to experience it firsthand, those years were truly special)

I'm here with GT since PSX times, and I fell in love with GT2 (some time after playing GT1 in a friend's house)

I think GT is living a great moment now, and can't be more happy with that.

Long live to GT
