What I don't get is why people keep saying that GTA 3 was this life saver of the ps2's when the playstations biggest brand released half the year earlier and sold almost 2 million more copies lifetime? I don't see how people can say that 'It has to be singlehandedly one of the major reasons the PS2 was so successful...' making it seem like the ps2 wouldn't have been so stupidly successful without it, despite the fact that sony's big hitter has already hit the market and is taking the industry by storm. Did it help? yeah but it also came out in a year where there was 4 other 5 mill+ sellers (GT3 @ 14.98m, FFX @ 8.05m MGS2 @6.05m and Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex @ 5.42m) that really got the playstation going
