GTAIV breaks records, $500 million first week sales

Grand Theft Auto IV breaks sales records, as expected

By Dustin Burg

Holy record breaking Grand Theft Auto IV sales Rockstar! We knew GTAIV would be a sales behemoth, but never did we think it would rack up hundreds of million dollars in sales its first week on U.S. shelves. But that's exactly what it did.

Rockstar and Take-Two just announced that U.S. GTAIV sales reached $500 million in sales the first week, which means 6 million copies were purchased from retailers nationwide. GTAIV also shattered Halo 3's $170 miillion twenty-four hour sales record, ringing up some $310 million in sales on April 29th alone. We guarantee it's all smiles over at the offices of Take-Two and Rockstar, though truckloads of cash tend to do that to a person.

GTAIV > H3. Even if the online gets alittle laggy at some point. Its still fun.

[Ibdc]

Yeah that's amazing.

GTA is a great game and all but I think the only reason it beat Halo 3's record is because it wasn't limited to just the 360.

[n00bFRAGGER]

Probably because it doesnt take a month to beat San Andreas.

Halo 3 is better as it has Co-op and Better matchmaking service and GTA was on all consols and also it was $100 and Halo 3 was like $80. come on HALO 3 FTW!!!!!!!
