Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital's website has been updated with new sales information about the racing series. As of September 30, the entire franchise has sold close to 76.5 million copies across ten major installments, according to data posted on the developer's website (via NeoGAF).

The best-selling game in the series to date is 2001's Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec for PS2, which has shifted 14.89 million copies. The worst-selling game, on the other hand, is Gran Turismo 4 Prologue, which sold 1.4 million copies following its launch in 2003 for the PS2.
