Grand Theft Auto III – 8.3 Million Units Sold The game was incredibly well received and spawned a direct sequel, Final Fantasy X-2 which was a first for the Final Fantasy series as each game takes place in its own self-contained universe. Final Fantasy X also introduced the sphere grid for level advancement. Final Fantasy X saw a few firsts for the series such as voice acting and utilization of 3D as opposed to pre-rendered backdrops. Released in the holiday season of 2001, Final Fantasy X was the first Final Fantasy to come to the PlayStation 2. This gave gamers different ways to experience Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 2. The driving missions were also added which played out similarly to the license tests. They were also able to speed up the race time making endurance races shorter. Gran Turismo 4 added the B-spec mode which allowed gamers to control the car from the perspective of a crew chief. The game sold over 11 million copies and closed out the Gran Turismo series on the PS2 as the sequel was released exclusively on the PlayStation 3. The critical and commercial success of Gran Turismo 3 helped build the hype for Gran Turismo 4. Gran Turismo 4 – 11.76 Million Units Sold The game was released to acclaim from fans and critics alike which likely helped the next game on the list earn its spot. Much like its predecessors, the goal of the game is to complete all races and acquire all in-game licenses. The first Gran Turismo game on the PS2 showed a significant improvement in graphics and in the number of drivable cars. Releasing in the summer of 2001, Gran Turismo 3 was released in the first full summer of the PS2 worldwide lifecycle. Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec takes home the title of best selling PS2 exclusive game. Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec – 14.89 Million Units Sold Although it is the best-selling PlayStation 2 game of all time, it is not the best-selling PS2 exclusive of all time. It sold 1.46 million Xbox units ranking 10th in all-time in original Xbox game sales. The game was released cross-platform and was a hit on the original Xbox as well. It goes to show that interest in GTA skyrocketed after the first sixth generation of gaming release in the series Grand Theft Auto III (more on that later). The conclusion of the Grand Theft Auto PlayStation 2 trilogy tops the list of best-selling PS2 games of all time.
