Its first day in stores, on April 29, Grand Theft Auto IV, the epic video game from Rockstar Games, took in $310 million in sales. That accounts for around 3.6 million copies of the game sold, according to the game company. Grand Theft Auto IV went on to sell 6 million copies the first week on shelves, totaling $500 million in worldwide sales and smashing the $300 million first week sales record set last September by Microsoft’s Halo 3. The hype and anticipation of Grand Theft Auto IV has been unmatched since it was announced in 2006 and it is reflected in the game’s sales.
