Following yesterday’s news that its DRIV3R videogame was the top seller in the U.K. market, Atari, Inc. let it be known today that the game has secured the top spot in Australia as well.
According to GFK sales data, DRIV3R, after four days on the market, was number one on both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox charts.

It's too late. The game has been doing good EVERYWHERE.

Atari can truly claim to have the ability to sell shit in a box.

Eugh, I was hoping Atari would get seriously burned in North America. I don't think they deserve to make a profit off of DRIV3R...

*runs away*

Atari is like the Jerry Bruckheimer/Michael Bay team-up of video games

Good lord, DRIV3R, Pokemon, and Shrek 2 all in the top 3?!?! What is wrong with us humans?

 

[gblues]

it's not #1, it's just the top-selling game. It's up against a bunch of kiddie games and licensed shit. Driv3r's just at the top of the shit heap, that's all.

It doesn't take much to be number one right now. Nothing else big to compete with. I predict that sales will be reasonable the first month and then die off almost completely.
