PSone versions only.

Which are numbers I don't quite believe.  Afterall they weren't actually tracking sales back then and if you actually look at the numbers they're all in europe.

Did GTA really sell 1.47 million in others?  When it only did .81 in the rest of the world.  Very dubious.

I couldn't care less if you believed them or not, to be honest. Unless you can find a more reputable source with numbers... I will continue to use VGC numbers.

And usually, if the older gen games are tracked wrong, they are MISSING data from a region. Which would mean that it's more than likely the game sold BETTER than that.

Does Take 2 count?

In there recomendation to not sell to EA, they state they've sold 70 million in the GTA franchise up to March 2008.


From 2001 - 2008 they've sold 66 million copies.

 

That leaves a total of 4 million total, for GTA PS/PC, GTA2 PS/PC,GTA London 1969 PS/PC AND GTA London 1961 PS/PC.


The problem being of course that the PS numbers for GTA 1&2 alone are over 4 million.

Unless those 6 pieces of software sold negative amounts... it's pretty obvious the VGchartz numbers are a bit high... and keep in mind this is shipped.  Considering europe was more PC based then console based then... it's even generous to say they sold about a million a piece.
