GT Sport is without a doubt Sony’s core titles to promote their lineup of systems. Their lineup of PlayStation 4 consoles along with support for VR makes Sony’s appeal for VR all that much more enticing.
GT Sport made its way on the 19th of October in Japan where the game saw some amazing success within 72 hours of its launch. As Media-Crate reports, the title sold over 150,000 units within three days in Japan alone which is worthy of a praise.
