Sources "close to" Take-Two Interactive tell Variety presell figures indicate the darkly comic PS3/360 crime spree will have the biggest debut of all time.

There's no question that Grand Theft Auto IV will have a massive debut. How massive, exactly? Today, Variety predicted the Rockstar Games title could see biggest entertainment property launch of all time when it goes on sale worldwide on April 29 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The Hollywood trade claims that "sources close to publisher Take-Two Interactive," which owns Rockstar Games, have been tracking how many units of GTAIV they have pre-sold to retailers. According to said sources, the publisher believes 6 million units of the Rockstar North-developed game will sell during its first week on the market, generating over $400 million in revenue.
If that figure holds out, GTAIV will come close to exceeding the $404 million Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End grossed internationally during its first six days in theaters. It will soundly best the current record-holder for a game premiere, Halo 3, which earned $300 million by selling 5 million copies in its first week on the worldwide market last year.
Some analysts are predicting GTAIV to do even bigger business when it arrives. Last October, Janco Partners' Mike Hickey says Rockstar's latest could "conceivably" ship 9.5 million units in one week--5.8 million in the US alone. The most popular GTA game to date is 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which has sold nearly 22 million units worldwide to date on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC.
the bad part
Variety correctly notes that Take-Two will need GTAIV to be a hit of outsized proportions to stave off Electronic Arts' takeover bid, which became hostile on March 13. Thursday afternoon, Take-Two stockholders will meet to discuss EA's $2 billion, $26-per-share offer, which is a 64 percent mark-up over the publisher's previous stock price. Late last month, Take-Two management led by chairman Strauss Zelnick asked shareholders to decline EA's offer, which some analysts believe could lead to a GTAIV delay if it is successful.
on the 17th we will know if it is gonna get pushed back or not

I have never bought a GTA game before, and I have only ever played them on PC ... It was always my friends who let me borrow their's for a week or two..
The short time I had it, I REALLY enjoyed it .. despite the under-par graphics, clumsy shoot-outs, etc. etc.
BUT I will be buying GTA IV for the xbox 360. The first GTA game I will have ever owned, and also the first I will own for a console.
Heck, if it does come out for PC (which we all know it will, just, perhaps, in 2009 sometime probably..) I'll be getting it for the PC aswell.

what the fuck you lookin at?
I've played all the GTA games. I've owned 2 (vice city and san andreas) this will be the third.
Oh yea, and fuck EA! Why do they wanna by the publishing company so bad? They must be desperate to fuck this series up! Sadly this could be the final chapter of the GTA series. At least the last one thats worth a damn! I have no doubt it will be the best!

I'd be pissed too. How long you had your 360?

I had my 360 ( the second 360 for me , my first one got the ring too ) for 2 years . The first one lasted for only about 4 months .OH DEAR GOD! This week seems to be taking forever to go by! Come on!
Relax ...relax. Five more days ... just five more days ..
I've been prepared for GTA 4 for well over a week:
-All three battery packs are fully charged and ready to go.
-Bought a small supply of instant coffee.
-I've managed to drag a coffee table up the stairs to place coffee/snacks on.
-Vacuumed my habitat so that I don't have to waste GTA time.
-Dusted my habitat.
-Tryed to make chair as comfortable as possible.
-Arranged furniture to provide a direct view of the TV.
-Freed up some HDD space for the rumoured "optional Xbox360 install".
-Doing Triple my usual weekly exercise to make up for time spent in front of TV.
-Prepared a number of alarm clocks to set to remind me to get up, walk around, go to the toilet etc.
If you guys are as excited as me, I recommend doing the above.. it helps pass the time!
Oh, and guys, seriously.. Even if you dont get up and walk around every hour for 10 minutes like we are all supposed to (yeah.. right..), I recommend it for this game ...there are occasionally people who play the addictive games (WoW mostly) for days straight, without moving ...
...and then they realise they havent been to the toilet for a day or two, they get up to go ... and then die.
:bowdown: 5 more days!

I can't wait, I got my pre-order at Gamestop all set and ready. I've completed all my other games so that I can focus on GTA IV. I'm thinking about going to the midnight sale that Gamestop is doing on Monday.
