Grand Theft Auto IV - Still Selling Well?
By John Milligan
Grand Theft Auto IV was easily one of the biggest titles to get released on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 this year back in April being one of the most anticipated releases for next generation consoles and with experts predicting record-breaking sales and revenue. How's it doing then?
Released on April 29, 2008, it is reported to have sold far more units globally than was previously expected. Some even consider it to be the console games greatest launch in entertainment history.
Grand Theft Auto IV was expected to push sales of the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 for which it was designed, and these consoles as if you didn't know, are in stiff competition with the increasingly popular Nintendo Wii. And yes, sales have been excellent to date, though you know as well as myself that the Wii is still out there in front.
On it's first day of release, Grand Theft Auto IV sales were 3.6 million units! In it's first seven days, 6 million units were sold beating last year's sales figures for Halo 3. As of the 31st of May, this little beauty had sold 8 million units! Now that's a lot of units by anyone's standards and in such a short space of time, just one month.
So if anyone asks you about this game you can tell them that it's doing very well thank you very much. Yes, it has a little controversy attached to it due to it's violence and so forth but there is no denying that GTA IV has sold well, is selling well and will sell well.
