It was only released in NA and Euro, not in japan, i'm pretty sure there would of been more sales in japan, but more pirated than actually own i can tell you that.

They ACTUALLY hate GTA-style games in Japan

Oh really:

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was released in Japan on the 25th of January, 2007, and sold 227,261 units in its debut week. San Andreas outperformed the second best seller, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, by over 120,000 units.

The game has undergone multiple edits, as a result of scrutiny and complaints by the media. The japanese version makes it, among other things, impossible to hit dead civilians, and has been given the strictest age rating - Z. [Gamasutra]

Rockstar has previously had successful launches with both GTA3 and GTA Vice City in Japan. All-in-all a successful launch for Rockstar and Capcom in Japan.

I dont see how that could be accurate. While i dont doubt the ps1 kicked the n64's ass i think nintendo recieved much better sales than that.

I agree, N64 must of sold at least twice as that amount. And Snes more than that too.

Thanks for that. The PS1 sales figures seem strange to me still... as do the n64 figures.

**Joe88** · April 25th, 2007, 05:40

looking at that list I see that the first counsel in the series have sold the best and 2nd and 3rd gen ones cant live up to it ...
it may be due on age also ...

I think you have to take into account that the PS1 had a production run of 11 years (1995 - 2006) vs the 5 years for the N64 (1996 - 2001)

That is a pretty good point. IIRC when the PSone (little guy) was released it sold very well even though the PS2 was just out, or coming soon.

I wonder if it would ever be possible to find statistics on how many of those ps1s or ps2s were bought due to the person's original one being defective.
