GTA: Vice City is fastest-selling UK game ever
A record-breaking quarter of a million units shifted in less than a week.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has surpassed all expectations and sold in excess of 250,000 copies since its UK release last Friday, November 8, according to ChartTrack figures. The biggest video game release of the year by far, Vice City is almost responsible for a leap in week-on-week software sales of 40% above the seasonal norm.
Until this incredible news came to light, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? held the record for the fastest-selling game. Back at release in September 2000, …Millionaire sold a million copies in 121 days. When you consider that WWTBAW was initially available on PC, PlayStation and Dreamcast, a million units in approximately four months seems pretty paltry when compared to Rockstar’s massive sales. It seems that crime does pay after all.
