"Take-Two Interactive announced alongside its quarterly results that Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV has sold over 10 million units as of August 16. The release noted that the publisher's fiscal third quarter was "led by the blockbuster" and continues to exceed the company's expectations.

With the PC release and the localized Japanese version still to come, it's looking more and more likely that GTA IV can hit that 15 million mark in 2008, as Hudson Square Research analyst Daniel Ernst predicted.

A cheaper Xbox 360 and forthcoming episodic content sure won't hurt its chances this holiday season."


Wow, congrats to Rockstar. :shock: Ten million units in just a few months is nothing short of astounding.

On an install base of 35 million. Spectacular. The PC version will probably bump it up by at least a couple of million. If I'm not mistaken, Grand Theft Auto IV is the fastest selling GTA game to date.

I don't really care about the Grand Theft Auto series but it's great news for the fans and developers. Hopefully it will continue to be a strong series in the future.

I would be surprised of it hadn't, Rockstars got quite a bunch of fans supporting them due to their abillity to create enertaining and at times very provoking games.
Me being one of them and I applaude their courage to create such games as Grand Theft Auto and especially Manhunt.

im not much of a gta fan, but thats good for the games industry. though i cant imagine that it will sell all that well in japan (unless gta has some amazing track record across the pond that im not aware of).

i still havent picked up a copy yet. maybe ill deem a purchase to be worth it when the price drops.
