For top Xbox 360 games this week, via MGC

http://www.mygamercard.net/leaderboard.php

As of this second, GTAIV is about 500 cards away from H3, and has surpassed it by now (as the servers update every hour).

How big is this? Call of Duty 4 (which has sold almost 6 million copies worldwide) overtook Halo 3 in about 4 weeks. GTAIV did it in about 24 hours.

Mind you, it will take awhile to get the full numbers from MGC (as they can be a good teller of how sales are going), but judging by the UK Leaderboards, I would say that GTAIV is leaning toward 1m units (or so) in Europe for the X360 first week, or more.


This is a rather misleading stat... Why don't we compare Halo 3's first week when the game was hot and everyone was playing to GTA4's first week(if that was possible). Of course anyone that buys GTA4 game will go online immediatly... and halo 3 is far from being the hottest thing at this point.



Doesn't h3 have upwards of 900,000 players a day. That means that close to a million people have got GTA ( not including people who haven't had the opportunity to play it yet, or PS3 copies)



Hi, i'm solojohlo and i'm pretty fucking awesome

I don't think that all GTA players will instantly go online, I want to go through the story first before I venture online. It has a great story, and good missions (they are steadily becoming better and better)

he was low,

And people thought it would only sell 7.5 million on the 360(happysquirrel) lol, as I said it will sell 30 million life time on both platforms.

Why not compare games that have 900,000 users/day and 1.3m users/day? MGC currently tracks that sort of information you know.

And FYI, Halo 3 had about 130,000+ cards for H3 first week (or a bit more). GTAIV, as of Tuesday night, is at 60,000 about to eclipse COD4 as the most played game on MGC's list. That's very impressive. Why? No game that's been #1 has sold under 5m copies since Gears debuted @ #1 in November 2006.

Since November 2006, only 3 games have EVER been #1:

Gears of War

Halo 3

Call of Duty 4

 

3 Games. All 5m+ sellers. And GTAIV is easily beating H3 and GTAIV now. You can not believe me, but I can near-guarentee that when all is said and done, GTAIV will probably sell around 3 million copies this week, worldwide.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
