Software Sales Statistics
We still owe you the UK software sales charts for the last three weeks of December, so here they are. It seems that as Christmas drew closer, demand for both Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories went up among the Brits, and in the final week VCS almost made it into the TOP 10.
UK Software Sales, December 4-9
Unfortunately the Grand Theft Auto games have slipped further down the UK software sales chart. Vice City Stories dropped five places and Liberty City Stories three compared to last week's sales.
Rockstar Warehouse News
Several new items have recently been added to the Rockstar Warehouse, Rockstar's online store, all related to the Grand Theft Auto games.
UK Software Sales, November 27 - December 02
We can't skip the British software sales chart this week either, focusing on the Grand Theft Auto games as always. Both GTA titles in the UK TOP 40 dropped two places compared to last week's sales.
VGA 2006 Nominations
Spike TV is holding its own video game awards show again this year. At the 2006 ceremony on December 13, Vice City Stories has received three nominations:
UK software sales, November 20-25
Vice City Stories has dropped out of the TOP 10 in Britain, although it only slipped back one place on the latest software sales chart. Liberty City Stories fares even worse, placing four positions lower than the week before.
UK Software Sales, November 13-18
The GTAs have slipped back down the UK software sales chart, according to last week's stats. British appetite for Grand Theft Auto games may not have cooled; it's more likely the new entries pushed them lower, with God of War, newly out on Xbox 360, opening straight at number one.
UK Software Sales, November 6-11
Slipping down one place, Vice City Stories finished last week in seventh place in Britain - at least as far as software sales go. There's no reason to be sad, though, because on the multiplatform chart big names like NFS: Carbon (first place) and Call of Duty 3 (third place) finished ahead of the newest GTA. LCS held on to its previous position.
San Andreas in Japan
Rockstar Games has announced a partnership agreement with Capcom, so just like with GTA III and Vice City, Capcom will be publishing San Andreas in Japan. The Japanese aren't overly fond of GTA-style games, and nothing proves it better than the fact that SA will only be released there in January 2007, more than two years after the American and European premiere.
Vice City Stories in Hungary
Vice City Stories arrived in Hungary almost a week ago - I've put together a list of where you can get it and for how much. I hope this makes shopping easier.
Grand Theft Mario
Although my clueless "colleague" thinks they're just two good friends, the stars of the next video are actually Mario and his brother Luigi. It's the latest addition to the Robot Chicken series.
VCS Debuts in Sixth Place in the UK
Vice City Stories came out in Europe last Friday and went straight into the top ten of the British game sales chart. Liberty City Stories, released a year earlier, is not doing badly either.
