It might have been five years in the making, but Sony’s Gran Turismo 5 has managed to outsell everything else since its release on Wednesday, topping the all-format charts in the UK. Polyphony Digital’s racing sim has knocked the evergreen Call of Duty: Black Ops from the top spot, showing that, despite the delays and a few visual niggles, Gran Turismo 5 is a monster.
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood sits in third place, down from second, whilst FIFA 11 and Just Dance 2 retain their fourth and five places respectively. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit drops from third to sixth, whilst RockStar’s zombie take on Red Dead Redemption is the highest new entry (pop pickers) at fourteen.
You can read our massive, labour of love-esque review of Gran Turismo 5 here, complete with exclusive, hand-taken photographs from within the game’s photomode system. You can also read the same review in Turkish if you know where to look, complete with cropped images and alternative watermarks and a complete lack of morality. That’s the magic of the internet.

Good To see GT5 topping the charts, well deserved imo, its a great game..

I bet most of the sales were pre-orders, if so they should have had a lot more online capacity from the start.

Good to see a PS3 exclusive title top the all format charts. I know there have been other examples of PS3 exclusives also topping the charts, but to do it so soon after BLOPS was released is mighty impressive!!

Be interesting to see how long it lasts at the No. 1 spot. Good to see Brotherhood do well too.

What a year its been , my favourite 3 games being GT5 , BFBC2 and Heavy Rain . GT5 i loved on day one but its getting better and better every day i play it . Did the AMG Academy last night and it was also my first time on the Nurb and what a Nurb ! I got the silver on my first full lap by something like .22 of a second under the max time !

It be interesting to see how long GT5 can stay at the top.
And those bloody pirates should get their site shut down and be forced to write a letter of apololgy to Nofi.
Good luck with the case(although you will win without a doubt)
