Grand Theft Auto 3, as I`ve mentioned a couple of times over the last year, somehow manages to stay in the top 10 all-formats chart. I could see why at first, with many people not realising how good the game was until they`d seen it at friends houses etc... and as a result bought the game later. That would explain why it stayed at number 1 until Christmas, but how did it manage to stay there all year? I don`t know, but it was impressive!
Anyway, the reason its getting stupid now is that its still there, number 7 if I remember correctly, and yet Vice City has been around for over a week now. I was shocked to see GTA3 still clinging on to the top 10 despite its little brother selling such a huge number of copies. I guess it might finally leave the top 10 next week, but I`m still amazed its there right now.
On a similar topic, how do you think Vice City's sales will compare? Its totally outdoing GTA3 *now* but is it too much too soon? In a couple of months nearly everyone who wants a copy will have a copy, and I feel it is unlikely the game will still be in the top 10 when its GTA3's age.
Any thoughts?

i feel the same... gta vice city is basically gta 3 with polish and a few more cars and weapons... (not that im saying its not a damn good game) (i got it the day before it came out) but gta3 actually passed its expectation. gta vice city just lived up to it, hey but im not complaining. im off now to play vice city
The PC version didnt come out till around spring time so I guess sales of that kept it in the all format chart for longer...
I actually own both PC and PS2 versions...
More money than sense i guess!

I kinda agree about GTA3 because GTA:VC is a great game but really it is mostly everything GTA3 should of had so it is only kind of an update.

It did, but I brought that up in a previous "I can`t believe GTA3 is still there topic". If you compare the positions of GTA3 in the all-formats, ps2 and pc charts, then (last time I checked this) the PS2 sales were far larger and easily enough to keep the game in the top 10. The PC sales possibly bumped it up a place or two, but were certainly not the main contributor.
