Which Gran Turismo entry is the best-selling game in the series as of 2022?

The story behind the answer

Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec is the best-selling game in the Gran Turismo series, with about 14.89 million copies sold. Wikipedia identifies it as the franchise’s sales leader as of 2022.

Released for PlayStation 2 in 2001, Gran Turismo 3 followed the original PlayStation games and became a major showcase for Sony’s new console. It retained the series’ licensed cars, realistic handling, license tests, championships, tuning, and endurance events while delivering a substantial graphical upgrade.

The title is sometimes confused with Gran Turismo 5 or Gran Turismo Sport because both were commercially successful and released on later, larger-install-base PlayStation hardware. Gran Turismo 5 ranked second within the series in the cited sales comparison, while Sport also sold strongly, but neither exceeded GT3’s reported total.

Gran Turismo 3 was also the second-best-selling game on PlayStation 2, behind Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Its sales figure is often written as 14.89 million rather than rounded to 15 million.
