^this.

GameStop(and pretty much everyone else) is hyping the bugger out of it.

It's funny because Rockstar is probably the least pretentious of the MAJOR video game developers and they go out of their way NOT to hype their games. There aren't even any legitimate gameplay videos of GTA4 and everything is basically a movie trailer. The only gameplay information we have is stuff that got leaked or picked up.

I've read one preview for the game and that was a year ago. When this game comes out next week I'll be completely surprised by how it plays. I can't say the same thing for a game made by EA or Lionhead Studios.

If a game is good it deserves every sale it gets. GTAIII's engine was recycled to death and aged terribly but GTAIV actually looks like the developers decided to give a crap about future titles when they built it.

2.3 mil.

Re: GTA IV week 1 sales guesses

I am defintally not going to get it on the day it comes out. I learn from the last game not to do that ever again.

Had to wait an hour in a line to get the stupid thing. With a bunch of $@#@s. And seeing kids way too young, getting the game without as much as a glance.

Re: GTA IV week 1 sales guesses

The AP ran an article that analysts are predicting 9 mil in the first week. I think that's a bit much, but we'll see.

One Hundred Million Copies!

Re: GTA IV week 1 sales guesses

Didn't Halo 3 sell around 7.0 mil in the first week? With GTAIV on two consoles it wouldn't come as a surprise.

Re: GTA IV week 1 sales guesses

I am positive that they will sell at least one copy.

My copy.

Everyone else is just an imitator.

Re: GTA IV week 1 sales guesses

7.5-8mil copies is my random guess with no factual evidence or idea behind it.
