I love mario kart for wii as much as the next guy. But just playing prologue makes me salivate at the full versions potential. It will be the best racing game( or most realistic) for years. We'll see

Kenji...Mario Kart is for everyone! Not just kids. There are very few games with better multiplayer action. Its not a single player game at all. Its simple fun, its shame you can't appriciate it.

I'd say the most realistic is GTR2 with GT5 being a very close second. In terms of graphics the GT wins hands down.

Also, in response to Kenji's comment on M$ paying off developers. If paying good money to good developers brings in good games then how's this any different from what other companies are doing?

yes, mario kart IS the best racer. So long as your under 12 years of age. If not then please check between your legs as i suspect that your balls haven't dropped yet.

Prolouge was 25pounds, and 29euro's in the rest of europe.
don't be a troll and get your facts straight Richmaester6907

So a demo of a not full game is what did this wow go PS3 u rule...............too bad it wasnt a full game yet still full price but whatever hey another 55pounds is another 55pounds when u own a PS3

When the full version of GT 5 comes out, it gonna turn some heads.

meh gt sucks,, so does forza pgr and mariokart= the best in racing period ,,

-yawn- Burnout is mindless dreck. Congrads on the milestone guys. Can't wait for the full fledged GT5.

gran turismo & forza both suck! burnout is where it's at!

My hats off to you, Grand Turismo series. They've always been one step ahead in the graphical department. Congrats.

They missed GT Concept off of their list.

Wow Kenji, anti 360 fanboy much?

So it took a week to get numbers...cause theres a lot of em. Microsoft wouldn't pay to delay number results. Cause the results are the same, it serves them no purpose. (And BTW I don't own a 360 or do I plan to...)

freudanian: I can argue with that cash...just cause I don't have it and I'm quite jealous.

Only the greatest of great game series sell in these numbers. Just imagine the revenue.... £2000000000 gross maybe? You can't argue with that kind of cash!

GT5 will make it 60 million.

Kenji, do u mean to say MS have paid company's to make games for them? .... Wow, a real eye opener there.

Nice sales figure for GT ^^ its always been the king of racing sims though so hardly surprising its only getting stronger

I'm not surprised that it has reached 50 million copies sold as they have 6 games released since 1998 and the game has been popular in all 3 regions. The only other racing series to have that many titles is Mart Kart, which may or may not have sold more copies if you include the Gameboy and DS. The king of the franchises is obviously Mario, which has probably sold well over 500 million copies in it series of games. I'm waiting for the full version of GT5 to be released. I've gotten feedback from trusted friends on GT5 P and they are all telling me it's better then GT3 & 4. So I'll definitely get GT5 full version when it's released. Forza and PGR are still my favorites wtih Burnout not far behind. I do have all the GT games, but really only played 1-3 consistantly. GT4 wasn't much different from GT3 A-Spec. I'm hoping that GT5 is way different from the previous versions besides the graphics. Time will tell.

THis demo sold more than 2.0million copies according to IGN. I don't think it's a bad record huh? Another sign to show how biased GS is against ps3.

For a game what is a beta 8.0 is a bloody great score I have both GT and Forza and IMO GT just pips it to the winning post

I have every single Gran Turismo 1-5, and this is this the best Gran Turismo Game EVER

I bought GT5 Prologue on release day and I love it....Getting slightly old but I still marvel at it. I also played the Grid demo and I can only say I was dissapointed, the car physics just felt.....wrong.

My favourite bit of watching my friend play Prologue online, was when he drove his car through the other online opponents cars. Realistic. :thup:

GT series rules.

Have you seen Grid?, i played the demo on 360 and it was stunning with full crash physics that LOOK REAL, its also coming to PS3 but im not sure if theres a Demo on PSN yet,.

To 360 Fanboys ! Theres no point in coming to the GT site and saying to PS3 owners Forza2 is better, they cant play it anyway so its pointless to try and convince them, there never going to like it because its on Xbox only, being an exclusive game causes the fanboys who haven't got the game on their system to hate it, Started with Halo3, weired cos this never happened before in console wars, only one i can think of is sonic vs Mario games, but that was different, there was respect, and agreement that both games were great. Now we have people hating games because their on a console, so stupid, so sad.

well alberto2045, thats one of the reasons as to why the game was delayed to late 2009 early 2010. First they were looking for agreement from the different car makers to introduce damage, then they got it with some, but others were still and still are not really in favour of it. But little by little they are accepting it. The main problem is that unlike Forza or PGR, GT is actually seen as something different from a game, especially to car makers.

GT5 has most beautiful and realistic graphic than any other racing game I ever play or seen.

well guys after I played the Grid demo I am telling you GT is awsome but all it needs its exitment of crashing and nobody cant deny that I know it takes more then 2 months to develop one single car but I mean if you want the name of the game to go even further then it needs to have what everyone wants I know that if it isnt in GT5 then I am sure it will be in GT6 hopefully they will make a new one

I like it how people nitpick about the car damage not being realistic. Who the hell cares. The game is fun! I play this demo more than I ever played Forza. I hate Forza. PGR is cool, but GT has always been my favorite racing series...besides Midnight Club Dub edition.

This game almost makes me wanna buy a PS3. Ive been an Xbox fan since Gears of War. I like Forza n all but it aint quite the same as GT. PGR just doesnt do it for me either. I loved GT1-3 but felt let down by 4. It just didnt feel like it was that different from 3. I hope it picks up where 3 left off in my heart.

Just wait until Gran Turismo 5 comes out....

Why isn't there ever good news about the PS3 here on Gamespot? Hmm highly Suspicious of Gamespot. They seem to be Xbox 360 and Wii Fanboys. They are biased. I'm watching the Line Up and Brian Ekberg seems to be saying Literally that Gran Turismo is not that good and that PGR4 Is better.

Crunch, it is for a niche market, but its market is also really wide. But the main appeal of the game is really niche. Its like Fallout 2, were average RPGs players wouldnt get it while more involved RPG gamers would really get it. The thing is that over the years, GT has consolidated a fanbase and a loyal one, which ends in each game selling allways extremely well.

Usually a company likes to brag about selling 5-10 million copies. But when you sell 50, we all almost need to bow down and sacrifice some goats or something like that. I never would have though this series was that popular. I always though Gran Turismo was more of a niche market, with something semi-generic like Need For Speed casting a shadow over it.

Franzkill
Upps, maybe its cause english is not my main tongue. But if thats all that you could say, then shame on you

That is impressive

This was well worth $40. Let's hope that the full version will be available as an add on and not another $60( but we all know we;d pay it anyways!!!) Must open all cars..........never sleep again....

Console wars are Meaningless. In the end It just Fuels even more people to start even more Console wars.

Awesome! Let's hope, GT6 takes real time damage to a new level. GT5 is already taking the franchise into new heights with driver's camera, online play, and of course better everything else (including what we may be yet to find out.)

While it's an impressive number for any title, it's not surprising compared to other great franchises that took off in the nineties like FF. It's remarkable that a racing games has up-stood such high values and commercial success too, even though it benefited from the collective success of the Playstation library which resulted into more than 200M Playstation consoles sold in the last 10 years.

50 mil is no joke. but it ain't madden or nay other sports game.

Were is the drag racing, and Big SUV's? You can still incorporate these events/cars into these games (Forza/GT5). They are also cars and as car lovers go I would like to have it all. The first NEXT GEN (Forza 1 had drag) to incorporate ALL cars (SUV’s, Hummers etc) and all events (like drag racing) will take the lead and establish itself as the TRUE CAR LOVERS GAME to have (Still REAL WORLD SIMULATION)!!

I think Forza is going to take over the market in this category. Both games are really good though.

10 years....damn...makes me feel old...still remember playin gt1

lol since when is car damage in games ever realistic, this has me laughing every time the argument comes up. Since when is this realistic: Super car goes 150 into a wall and is able to drive asay AT ALL.... forzaa is not realistic u can take dmg at 90 miles an hour and oh wow pretty minor dmg in reality a car would be totaled completely. So until GT finds a way to implement complete REALISTIC car dmg then ill stick with not having any at all just fine.

kenshin I could say the same about your spelling since worser isn't even a word.

Wow 50mil since GT1 that goes to show the devs put a lot of effort into a great series which has given gamers old and young a good experience.

Venom, check the 1st paragraph, last 2 lines:
but rather a sampling of cars and tracks from the forthcoming Gran Turismo 5, due out later this year.

Also the PSP info is wrong, as Yamauchi himself said that until GT 5 is finished, they were not going to start with GT 4Portable

Hilary Clinton should just give up.
