Biggest *system* game of the year

*cough*

So far the The Sims and it's seven expansions have sold well in excess of 30 million copies and sales are still going strong.

Now ok you can say that this isn't just 1 game cos it has 7 expansions. In fact you could go a bit further and say 30,000,000 / 7 and say it really has only sold 4.28 mill copies. But it's still a gaming phenonina (sp), don't get me wrong here I hate the Sims as much as it's evident that you do but u can't deny it's not up there....

OK, to make it simple. Sims 2 will not be the biggest game this year.

Look out for the numerous press releases Rockstar releases next week when GTA: San Andreas breaks records and makes a few new ones too.

GTA: SA STABBED LITTLE SALLY WHILE HUMPING MY ARM CHAIRS ARMREST!

UK data only, but puts it into perspective how big the game will be. If Microsoft, Nintendo* and SONY, had any sense, they would secure the next game in the Franchise as an exclusive launch title. It just makes sense.

* Nintendo are very strict as to what kinds of games are released on their systems. So I'm not sure they would ever allow a GTA title on the 'Revolution' system. Yeah, yeah theres now a GTA on the GBA, but thats some 2D bollocks.

@ Luciel
You say the MOH expansions were crap! Have you played the 'Breakthru' expansion? This is an absolute awesome expansion! The only complaint I have about it is it wasnt long enough! But it looks, sounds and plays great!
@ BW

@ everyone else
