Additonal Info:
Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey has said that Rockstar’s forthcoming Grand Theft Auto IV may ship as many as 5.8 million units globally in its first week of release.
Hickey’s comments come following a note to Gamestop investors this week, where he discussed a number of titles expected to yield strong sales at retail for the year.
Highlighting GTA IV, which is scheduled to launch worldwide on April 29, Hickey stated, "We expect [GameStop] will benefit from the release of GTA IV in their fiscal Q2 08 period, which could ship 5.8 million units in the first week or $360 million in retail sales and potentially $110 million for the Company.”
His comments echo that of Wedbush Morgan analyst, Michael Pachter, who said last month that he expects the crime romp to ship around 6 million units worldwide in one week.
Touching on this statement, Pachter told Next-Gen.biz yesterday, "That number is unlikely to sell through right away, probably closer to 4 million units.”
Stay tuned.

Over the two platforms, that number seems realistic to me.
or $360 million in retail sales <------ lol
My local gaystop said they are having a midnight realese party with trivia, games, and prizes. Is anyone store doing this? I work third shift so I will be calling off that night and playing all night lol.
That's a lot of freakin' money. Give me some!!!! J/k, I'm buying this on DAY1!
one for me ha ha
@ Anim3Fe33k: I didn't even catch that. Ha ha.
If GameStop is going to get ~$110 million from 6 million, they're making close to $20 on each game. Anyone else think that's a rip-off? They pay 1/4 of full price for trade in and sell it for 150% profit. Good thing I refused to buy anything there a long time ago. Bastards.
Already pre-ordered at the beginning of Feb... boy ive got to get out more!
I think that GTA4 could easily sell 5.8 million units worldwide in the first week.
Even though there is more people with Xbox 360's, I think that GTA4 will sell more on the Playstation 3 in the long run. More people played the GTA series on the PS2, and I'm thinking that the majority of those people are going to get PS3's. I don't know how people with Xbox 360's play video games that aren't first person shooters with that controller anyways. The PS3 would be the best console to play GTA4 on.
i got mine fully paid off with my dual shock 3 coming on april 11th. lmfao. did anyone see X-play last night they set the start of summer april 28th. hmmm i wonder what's being released that day on the 360 and ps3
@infernoreaper....i think R* is going to see that much profit, not Gamestop. I am pretty sure Gamestop makes its money off of other things, and not new games.
bump Gamestop. I'm pre-ordering this baby of off amazon!
I Pre-ordered GTA IV the first day i could last year at Gamestop
P.S How do i add an avatar for my psu account ?? (image) (pic) ?
well it's definitely topping a couple million in its first week.
This game is gonna be epic.
I have mine paid in full and plan on leaving work around midnight to grab this but i will be very tired going into work the next day.
psn id: gingo.... this will probably become true and possibly even more as i can see over 6 mill in the first week
