I heard as high as 9 million copies of GTA IV would be sold in its launch week worldwide. I will go and get the link and it soon to this thread.
BTW: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas sold 9 million in its launch week back in 2004.

Check this link out GTA IV forecasted to sell over 9 million copies in first week.

Well, Pachter was pretty loose on the timeframe

"The addressable market at launch is about 24 million consoles," says Michael Pachter, video game analyst at Wedbush Morgan. "So how many will sell in the first week or month or few months? Nine million. That's the number. That's about a 35 percent attach rate. By year's end, it'll be somewhere between 11 and 13 million because more consoles will be sold before the holidays."
