1 Million Preorders for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue in Europe

It's not every day games go "platinum" before they're even released. Generally, this occurs with huge titles, but even taking that into account it's an uncommon feat. Factor into that the notion that a game whose title explicitly states it's a Prologue to a full game ... and it's nearly unbelievable. But in Europe alone, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has achieved just that: one million pre-orders.

What we need to remember is that the pre-order number is not only for Europe alone, but also just for the Blu-ray release of the game -- not the downloadable version. If half of the people who intend to purchase the game pre-order it and the other half download it, well, this is going to be huge.

Ridiculous is the only word to describe this. 1 Million Pre-Orders for a glorified demo. Congrats to the GT5 team for building this game up. If anyone has not played the demo on the PSN. I highly recommended it.

Dang that's crazy! Though i'm not too surprised... that game looks fantastic.

How many pre-orders etc did Halo 3 get?

Wow that's nuts, if I had a PS3 I'd definitely be all over this game though. It looks so sick, looks better than the last PGR

Its about 1000 times better than PGR. The demo on the PSN is insane.
