Forums - Sales - GTA IV smashes UK day one sales record: 609k (360: 335k PS3 274k)

Surely Chart-Track/MCV news about GTA IV's performance is amazing what I doubt however is the long term sales compared to GTA:SA on PS2 ( and Xbox ).

San Andreas has sold 21.5m in 3 1/2 years according to Take 2, so we'll have a long wait to find out. Different analysts  were forecasting between 14m and 18m this financial year. Take 2 said they thought analyst predictions were too low. If it does end up outselling GTA: SA it's not going to happen for a couple of years.

Couple hundred people turned out to my local Game for the midnight launch. Pretty sick, never heard of anything like it in my town.

 200 people in one town with no real life?...OUCH!



@llewdebkram

better than all those thousands of geeks who went to the Harry Potter : DH launch....j/k

GTA is actually one of the few games regarded as "cool" outside the gaming circle



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Great numbers for the PS3.

The 360 outperformed the PS3 in terms of overall software sales , but the attatch rate for the PS3 version is crazy .

I'm looking forward to hardware numbers.




I expect PS3 hardware to surpass 200k in OTHERS alone.

but i think 360 will also have equally big boost...



Hmm. With early numbers like this being so awesome, I guess my 20m LTD prediction for GTAIV might not be too horrible afterall.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

It should be a great prediction, that is my expectation as well.
