GT5 Prologue in European pole position

The success of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has extended well beyond that of the UK recently, with Polyphony Digital’s racing sim performing extraordinarily well throughout the rest of Europe.

According to data obtained by Gfk International, the game has debuted at the top of both the German and Spanish software charts, as the title solidifies its popularity with PS3 owners on the continent.
