Sold out

Well that's the all-time UK sales record smashed then. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has already sold an estimated 677,000 units according to research body Chart-Track. This is even more impressive when you consider that this is an 18 rated game - not that this seemed to put off parents at a store I visited. The previous record holder was GTA: Vice City, the last game in the series, which sold 250,000 in its first week. Rather scarily ChartTrack revealed that only 10 PS2 titles have sold more in their lifetimes than San Andreas has already to date. Will the GTA juggernaut run over everything else this Christmas? Are EA quaking in their chinos? We'll have to wait and see...
