GTA: Vice City Sells 8.5 Million Copies in 3 Months

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the legal-illegality-simulators dept.

Gus writes "Take Two Interactive Software reports that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has sold more than 8.5 million copies in the first three months since its late-October launch. The good news is Rockstar Games has 11 titles in the works. The bad news is the chances of the next GTA making it out this year are pretty slim." Also, there's still a couple people waiting on Duke Nukem Forever, and their patience is wearing thin.

    8.5 million drones will buy a buggy, unpolished game just to:

    1: Say they have it (it's teh uber 1337 with da' t33nz0rs!!!)
    2: Run around and shoot people some more, ignoring the missions
    3: Annoy me all day by talking about 80's music and how great the freaking game its.

    It's gotten so annoying, in fact, that I will never buy this game... ever... I will never fall to the same level of the ignorant little shits that buy it currently.

    Aren't there other ways for people to relax and have fun.

    I personally would rather make love to my wife a couple times than sit around all Saturday afternoon staring at the TV screen.

    Maybe that's just me though.

    OK, I'm trying to decide which new video game to pick up.

    My heart's content wants me to get Metroid Prime since Super Metroid was my favorite game of all time, but then again my brain is screaming for the hilarious drop dead fun of Vice City.

    I can only afford one so it's quite a tough decision.

    Any advice, geeks?

    In the U.S.A. we're learning to call it Duke Nukem...

    Whenever

    If Ever

    Whatever

    I wonder what would be considered the most egregious vaproware. I'm sure in the past there have been non-ware as highly anticipated. Sometimes ultimately delivered (and we wish it wasn't.)
