Yeah, Halo 3 must have had a much larger shipment number than consumer sales if the huge displays I saw during launch were any indication. I have never seen so many copies of a game in my life and not even close to all of them sold.

I don't really understand : analyst say 5.8 millions the first week, but only 9 millions the first year ??!

Yeah I noticed it too Fishy. I definitely think they can ship 6m first week, but I think they will be very hard pressed to break 4m sold WW on the first week.

Dont think so probably 3 million but not 5.8

SHIPPED 6m I can see, with about 50% sell through between the two consoles.
I do think GTAIV will be the most front loaded of all the GTA games though.

its a matter of shipment numbers, you guys are failing to remember this will be a worldwide launch. 5.8 is possible.

5 million,i guesse 3 million for 360 and 2 million ps3 first week,

wow that's a lot of sales. To be expected though for something this big and multiplatform too!

That seems very optomistic to me, I don't think it will even ship that many to be honest. I think it will have some amazing legs though.
