GPL Stolen! and chart....

Seems someone has walked away with 1500 Units off a delivery truck while the
truck was packed outside a mail order house in the UK ;)

Trade has asked to be *careful* of anyone offloading units at low low prices.

Additionally, UK sales chart from this week has

1. Dune 2000
2. Colin McRae Rally (1st week)
3. Commandos
4 GPL. (1st Week)

Can't help but think Cendant are not going to be very happy. They've spent a
lot of money on shelf space (full shelf display's at all the big store's i saw
at the weekend...).

I think they should look long term for GPL - it will be a benchmark sim for
some time to come. Probably too hard for most people though.

Also they'll make their money on the more commercial NASCAR and ICR
derivations.

Must be said, while CART will be more popular over here, NASCAR won't be.

FYI, the North America/Rest of World Split is around 40%/60% these days.

True - leaves the market open for people like Codemasters with their TOCA
and rally sims. Not forgetting F1RS with its execrable physics model.
