Leading up to a potential reveal of the full breakfast on Tuesday at SCEA’s E3 conference, it’s been revealed that Gran Turismo 5: Prologue has sold over 3 million units worldwide, with Europe being the region of the most sold copies of the game at 2 million.

The exact total figure actually stands at 3.67 units worldwide. However, it aint stated if that includes hard copies and PSN copies together. The figures come from Polyphony Digital themselves, where it’s also revealed the GT series has sold a combined 52.37 million units sold.

The full worldwide figures list is as follows:

Worldwide total: 3.67 million
Europe: 2.16 million
US: 760,000
Japan: 650,000
Asia: 100,000

GT5: Prologue is a good game, we gave it a 9 last March. We hope to see the real deal this Tuesday though at the SCEA conference, catch the livetext for that from 6pm BST.

Swine Flu, be damned. You may have stopped Dead Rising 2 from been shown at E3, but you havent stopped a brand new trailer from being released. It looks really good and we hope we’ll hear a date for this soon (not at E3 anyways, probably TGS).

It’s out on PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360 whenever, but not 2009, we’re gonna say 2010.

Ta to VG247 for the heads up. Check it after the jump.

E3 2009: Final Fantasy VII Rated by the ESRB

Posted in E3 2009, PlayStation 3 with tags , , , , , , , , on May 31, 2009 by Jonathan Cullen

Keep your knickers, this aint what you think it is.

The ESRB has rated Final Fantasy VII for the PS3. But before you go fucking mental, trashing your room in happiness, this aint the remake. This is the PS1 version probably getting ready for a release on the PS Store as a PS1 classic. It’s been on the Japanese PS Store for a while now.

The game’s been rated T for Teen and is being published by Sony Computer Entertainment America.

But is this leading to something bigger? Well, Advent Children Complete is released on Blu-Ray in the US on Tuesday, but last year has proved to expect the unexpected with Square Enix. We’re saying nothing except keep an eye on Tuesday…

E3 2009: Nikkei – Wii Fit to Have Internet, New Mario Incoming

Posted in E3 2009, Nintendo Wii with tags , , , , on May 31, 2009 by Jonathan Cullen

mario-galaxyIn probably the first report we’ve covered that’s from Nintendo before E3, Japanese newspaper Nikkei is reporting that there will be a new Mario game by the end of the year, alongside a new Wii Fit. Nikkei didnt state what the new Mario will be like, just stating the new Mario is on it’s way, the same for Wii Fit. However, unlike Mario, Nikkei did state one thing for the new Wii Fit: it would have internet features.

As to what capacity, they didnt state.

Nintendo’s E3 press conference is on Tuesday, with a livetext from 4pm BST, just before Sony’s. Which leaves us with one final big question: will any of the big 3 make it to E3 without spilling announcements? First Sony yesterday and now today, Nintendo. Tomororw, Microsoft?

Ta, Pat.
