MK sell forever, GTAIV wil stop selling with a new GTA.

I spy, with my little eye, a certain game at #33 in the European charts. Mario Kart will have long legs, but forever is a definite overexaggeration.

GTA San Adreas didn't becoem popular again until the last few months when GTA IV hype built up.

 Okay then, let's assume that in this case, a few months means three months. So sales for San Andreas have only been showing now and have only increased because of the GTA4 hype.

Now, look at the American chart for the week ending December 22nd, 2007. 

If you search by the PS2 platform, you'll notice that San Andreas is at #10 with approximately 60,000 sales for the week. Now, this is the holiday season, so sales for many games will be high. But one thing you have to remember is that the chart being mentioned is more than 3 years after the launch of San Andreas.

And the recently adjusted numbers for San Andreas show up that it might have been selling a bit more than we thought. It's a game with tremendous legs, and although GTA IV might not show the same amount of sales, the Grand Theft Auto series is definitely one that can be associated with having legs.
