Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec is the best selling PlayStation 2 game to date. You will be amazed by this, we are sure.

“With an initial product shipment of over 1 million units, Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec broke all internal production records out of the gate, exceeding even our high expectations for the product," said Jack Tretton, Senior Vice-President of Sony Computer Entertainment America. "This unprecedented demand demonstrates the popularity and broad appeal of Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec and reinforces the fact that millions of consumers are making PlayStation 2 their first choice in entertainment systems.”

Don’t you love the smug corporate gloatings of games companies following some kind of success? We can look forward to a similar announcement to be made by Sony Europe later in the week.
