Gran Turismo 5 Outselling Everything Else In UK

It may not be out until next month, but Sony’s Gran Turismo 5 is way ahead in the pre-order charts according to one retailer.

The title, which launches November 5, is currently top of the all-formats pre-order chart at shopto.net.

Furthermore, Medal of Honor is currently outselling Call of Duty: Black Ops, though with MOH out this week it comes as no surprise that this is currently selling better than Activision’s shooter, which is not out until November 9.

Speaking to IncGamers, ShopTo’s Phil Driver said: "Currently MOH is outselling COD but only by around 20% so with another twenty days to go I think we will see much higher numbers for COD in the end. However the true star of the show for us at the moment is Gran Turismo 5.”

Interestingly, in the US it’s Call of Duty: Black Ops that is currently leading the pre-order charts.

Retailer Gamestop has confirmed it has taken record orders for the game.

“GameStop is tracking to all-time, record reservations on Call of Duty: Black Ops,” GameStop’s SVP of merchandising Bob McKenzie stated.

“We are ahead of where we were with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 last year, which previously set the industry standard.”
