IllusionMPN Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) An analyst from Next-Gen.biz is reporting that GTAIV is expected to sell around 17 million units. "Before the first half of 2008 ends, we can expect the release of AAA titles such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl (expected to achieve 13.95 million units of GLS [global lifetime sales]), Wii Fit (expecting 8.7 million units of GLS), Grand Theft Auto IV (expecting 17 million units of GLS), and Metal Gear Solid 4 (expecting 4.7 million units of GLS).” Well GTA has always broken records, I'm sure they will break this record when all is said and done.

rockstarrem Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm pretty sure too, GTA IV is definitely going to be the biggest game of 2008 hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 17 million? That's more then the amount of 360 and ps3 consoles out there. Every single owner of such system would have to buy the game to meet the 17 million. I doubt it. Probably closer to 12 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 17 million? That can`t be true,maybe 14 or 15 million. However GTA IV is going to be a good game and there may be a PC release in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 im sure GTA IV will be the best game ever since 2008 but seems like there are a lot of GTA IV jewels, there must be about 10 billion that is illegal jewel copies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airashii Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yeah, i'm not so sure about this either. I think it will sell more than that over it's lifetime. More like 7-8 for 2008 probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 No way it will sell this much and MGS4 will sell SO much more, it's the best PS3 exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airashii Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 But becuase it an exclusive it won't sell any on 360 or Wii which is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 But becuase it an exclusive it won't sell any on 360 or Wii which is key. Good point, I didn't think of that but it will be the most sold PS3 game in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right but theres still a lot of time to get a PS3/360 I think these figures are a little exaggerated, maybe 13 million for 2008 but overall about 25 million copies will be sold.

Pandora Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 The best game ever? Uhm, no. The GTA serie is very good, but I wouldn't say it is the best thing to ever hit the gaming industry. Edit: typo.. placed a 'y' after 'ever'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stojko Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have my doubts on 17 million, but I'm sure it'll do extraordinarily well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Boy Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I think the figures may be a little too far, but I think we all know that this game will sell a hell of a lot. I can definitely see the game selling out everywhere, and anyone who didn't pre-order it will not be able to get a copy for at least a week.

GTA Don Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yes,the figures do seem a little far-fetched,MGS4 will sell a lot,seeing as a lot of people are MGS fans,but probably not as much as GTA IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be the best thing to hit gaming industry but in some peoples eyes (including mine) its (GTA in general) are the best games ever Yes,the figures do seem a little far-fetched,MGS4 will sell a lot,seeing as a lot of people are MGS fans,but probably not as much as GTA IV. Doubt MGS4 will be as big as a hit as some people think, it could even get delayed again, it will be a good game. Not as good as IV though.

IllusionMPN Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Maybe this is a partial comment because I'm such a huge fan of GTA, but what other game gets this much hype? Yes there is hype for games like any other, but on the scale like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Legend of Zelda and Mario within the Nintendo community. It's pretty big, but doesn't spread to other forums. Just those dedicated to Nintendo games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Legend Of Zelda and Mario and even Pokemon were born to be Nintendo. Some people (at my school) are hyping over Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I can't wait. I've been looking forward to it for months. Much more then GTA. But SSBB just isn't a game you can revolve a community about. Somehow GTA is. Probably because of the free-roaming theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
