Sony Computer Entertainment is reporting that the long awaited Gran Turismo 5 has sold over 5.5 million copies worldwide since it’s release only 12 days ago. With this milestone, the Gran Turismo franchise history now counts over 60 million units sold as of December 6th, 2010. Overall, Polyphony Digital and Sony achieved this number 12 years and 11 months after the initial début of Gran Turismo in December of 1997. A noble feat, considering there was a 5 year wait between the 4th and 5th installments of the titles.

According to Japanese gaming focused site AndriaSang.com, 486,389 of the 5.5 million units were sold in Japan, indicating that there’s a strong demand for the world’s premier driving simulator outside of it’s country of origin.

When it comes to the in-total 60 million units shipped front, Sony clarifies and notes that these sales numbers are derived from PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PS3, as well as their portable unit, the PSP; racking up a massive 61.41 million units sold.

Despite the complaints (myself included) surrounding the widespread technical issues surrounding the online player vs. player, Gran Turismo took home top honors in the Best Selling category for the month of November, and as of December 4th, still holds the number 3 slot, just below Wii Sports, and above Kinect Adventures!
