According to NPD Funworld, GTA3 beats out SSBM for top spot in December.
For the month of December, GTA3 sold more than 50,000 copies more than it's closest competitor Super Smash Brothers for the GCN. The controversial game has been pulled off the shelves of Wal-Mart and Target due to its graphic portrayals of violence and sex. Apparently this has not reduced gamer demand for the title.
The top 20 folds out as follows:
1) GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 - PS2- ROCKSTAR GAMES 2) SUPER SMASH BRO MELEE - GCN - NINTENDO OF AMERICA 3) METAL GEAR SOLID 2 - PS2 - KONAMI OF AMERICA 4) TONY HAWKS PRO SKATER3 - PS2 - ACTIVISION 5) MADDEN NFL 2002 - PS2 - ELECTRONIC ARTS 6) HARRY POTTER:SORCERER - PSX - ELECTRONIC ARTS 7) HALO - XBX - MICROSOFT 8) BOND:AGENT UNDER FIRE - PS2 - ELECTRONIC ARTS 9) POKEMON CRYSTAL - GBC - NINTENDO OF AMERICA 10) SUPER MARIO ADVANCE - GBA - NINTENDO OF AMERICA 11) TONY HAWKS PRO SKATER3 - PSX - ACTIVISION 12) PIKMIN - GCN - NINTENDO OF AMERICA 13) MARIO KART: CIRCUIT - GBA - NINTENDO OF AMERICA 14) WWF SMACKDOWN: BRING - PS2 - THQ 15) HARRY POTTER:SORCERER - GBA - ELECTRONIC ARTS 16) SPYRO: SEASON OF ICE - GBA - VIVENDI UNIVERSAL 17) NBA LIVE 2002 - PS2- ELECTRONIC ARTS 18) TONY HAWKS PRO SKATER2 - PSX - ACTIVISION 19) SPONGEBOB SUPERSPONGE - PSX - THQ 20) GRAN TURISMO 3:A-SPEC - PS2 - SONY COMPUTER ENT.
