Today in the union tribune, I read that It's official. Grand Theft Auto IV is a video game blockbuster, with gamers around the world buying up more than 6 million copies of the gritty, urban action title in its first week of sales. The dual figure of unit sales and revenues makes the launch the biggest ever for video games, and one of the biggest opening weeks in all of entertainment. Sales of the game generated more than half a billion dollars, the publisher, Take-Two Interactive, said. Grand Theft Auto IV's first week performance represents the largest launch in the history of interactive entertainment, and we believe these retail sales levels surpass any movie or music launch to date, said Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick. Analysts had long expected a solid opening for the game, which hit the stores on April 29, but none ventured sales of this magnitude. Grand Theft Auto IV's sales surpassed those of last year's best-selling title from Microsoft, Halo 3. That title established a new, single-day sales record of $180 million dollars. Take-Two estimates that on its first day, GTA IV sold 3.6 million copies and generated $310 million in sales, far surpassing Halo 3's performance.

Today in the Union Tribune I read an article about Grand Theft Auto IV and how it easily set sales records. Grand Theft Auto IV snatched up $500 million in sales the first week it came out. It beat the combined $496 million that all the halo games had. GTA beat apple by four times what they sold when the iphone came out. Take-two interactive software said yesterday that it had sold 6 million copies since the game went on sale April 30, for a total of $500 million.
