Forums - Gaming Discussion - I think Grand Theft Auto IV will sell over 11 million worldwide this year.

i agree with your numbers, but it will sell at least 700 000 in canada, trust me everyone here is hyped up for that game

I expect 25million when its all set and done, 15M this year.

Why are you insane?

No Im not, GTA is the biggest franchise this gen, and just about every single PS360 owner will buy the game, now that its mainly a hardcore base.



 

 2008 end of year predictions:

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M

I could see 6 million on 360 this year.

About 5 million on PS3 this year.

I bet either console version will outsell SSBB. Even the PS3 version.

 Ha ha what? you think Smash will sell less than 5 million this year... you are the Crazzyestguyever.

the sims isn't but pokemon is. and also the "wii" franchise is eg; wii sports, wii fit, wii play.]

GTA franchise: 6.122 per game.

pokemon franchise: 7.765 per game.

wii franchise: 10.366 per game.

I'm talking about true sequels, not spin-offs/expansion packs, The Sims and The Sims 2 sold 16 and 13 million each, and we all know about Pokemon.

As for the 'wii' franchise, I don't know about that, they're not directly linked, and Wii Sports was bundled.



You crazy, in 1 year, I don't think so.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

11 million is entirely possible. The total install base is currently 27 million (360 plus PS3), but this should rise quickly, by around 21 million consoles (I'm assuming the 360 sells another 9 million and the PS3 sells 12 million, this could go much higher, of course). 11 million software units out of 48 million consoles is eminently doable.



I'm predicting 10 million this year. It will be hurt by the much smaller userbases. Also, the 360 version will beat PS3, since the game will sell best in America, where 360 will crush PS3, and PS3 won't beat 360 by much in Europe.




I agree with the numbers, I know a lot of people who are buy a ps3 or 360 just to get this game.



Man, everyone buys GTA. Even 10 year olds have copies of San Andreas, around here. It's releasing so early, that if it doesn't sell 11 million across 2 platforms, I will be worried about the strength of the industry.

Part of me is more excited for Saints Row 2, though. Customization, and a female lead = win! in my opinion.
