FYI: A quick google search reveals....
Total 7,437 Walmart locations. Walmart also does centralized warehousing so there could be a ton in warehousing in addition to what is on shelves.
Gamestop has 5,889 stores in 18 countries as of the end of 2007 and were planning to open another 600 in 2008. So lets assume 6,300 or so.
Best Buy has around 1,800 locations worldwide.
Target has just shy of 1,500 locations.
TRU has about 700 stores in 33 countries.
And there are a ton of other stores as well, but just these 5 stores have about 17,700 store locations. And I didn't even hit on some of the major European, Asian, or Austrailian retailers.
And none of this even begins to mention online retailers. There are plenty of stores for there to EASILY be 1M copies of the game on shelves and in retail warehousing, especially for a popular and hyped game such as this. But don't take my word for it, Fishyjoe's article points out that Rockstar themselves say 2.5 times that many were on shelves for GTA IV.
