Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Hits 1 Million Euro Pre-Orders

Sure, it’s no big surprise. In fact, we knew this would happen, but it’s cooler when it’s official. The upcoming GT5 Prologue has hit over one million pre-orders in Europe. From what I gather, pre-orders from other PAL regions are included in this number. An impressive feat, but again, not much of a surprise since the game should prove to be a must-own for the PS3.

Personally, I cannot wait. For one thing, the game will offer its graphics in gorgeous 1080p, and for the first time we will be able to hop in many new cars, including the both a 2007 BMW M3 and 135i Coupé, in addition to the 2007 Nissan GT-R, a 2000 color-changing TVR Tuscan Speed Six… and not to mention the introduction of Ferrari with the 599 and F430!

The game will be released in North America on April 17th, while the lucky blokes in Europe will be treated to a March 28th launch. If NA follows Europe and Japan, then the game will both be offered as a downloadable game or store-bought Blu-ray version.

The upcoming Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for PlayStation 3 has already reached a milestone, with SCEE confirming the title has reach one million in European pre-orders. That pretty much assures the racer of hitting platinum status within its first week of release.
