Do you think if GTA 4 is released ont he PS3 and the 360 simultaneously in Japan, Europe and America, it will beat Halo 3 for the world's largest grossing game - release day in Video Game History?

No. I don't believe it will. It will sell a hell of a lot but halo 3 just set a pretty high bar for first day sales

Halo 3 had the bigger hype over GTA 4

Short answer: No

GTA will not outsell Halo 3 first day. Maybe it will sell more games. But not as fast as Halo 3 do. Simply becouse GTA is for PS3 and 360. And people dont run to the store to get it. Ill pick it up sometime. But i dont think the game will be that awsome. An okay game.

NO. Why? Simple. The hype was way too much on Halo 3. GTA IV doesn't have the same amount hype generating. But there is no doubt that it will be a better game than Halo 3.

Maybe. They haven't even begun the GTAIV marketing blitz. Plus, once Jack Thompson starts ranting about it, pre-orders will skyrocket.

as much as i prefer grand theft auto over halo, i'd say no. why? because some parents will buy halo for their kids, but will they buy them grand theft auto games? not so much.

I think it will. It has hype, wait until the release comes sooner. Plus, it's on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Double the consoles double the $ales. So i think it will. It's still too early to tell.

gta iv will out sell halo 3 in the long run. if you look at history of these games halo has always been good in it's first week of sales due to the fact of microsoft marketing of halo games. but in the long run gta games have sold way more then halo games.

but in the long run though. and with gta iv being delayed and having more time to improve when it's release the game will be amazing. not to sure about beating halo 3 in it's first week sales but for sure in the long run it will beat halo 3.

I think it will sell more copies in the long run, but the halo fanboys pretty much took the spot for number of sales day 1.

I dont think that it will, but it would sure be interesting if it did. Two massive good selling games, it will bring a realization, that there is money in this form of media, and more studios will join the gaming ear.

If you add up the 360 and PS3 version total sales, maybe. Separately, I don't think GTA IV takes the crown.

GTA tops Halo as a Franchise - GTA has sold many more copies - many more $ than Halo and that's a fact.

I think in the long run GTA will beat Halo though it may not have as strong an opening day/week.

well first off...halo3 wasn't the worlds largest grossing game on release day....halo2 got more...jrotc_redneck

yes it is. if u wanna be specific. Halo 3 grossed more then halo 2 due to the various editions. (standard, limited, legendary). Halo 2 moved more units but grossed less.

and im not even sure if thats the record holder or not, though it probably is....jrotc_redneck

after first week sales, it is.

I doubt itll beat Halo 3 as far as sales ar concerned, because Halo 3 grossed an insane amlunt day 1. But I think itll beat Halo as far as how good of a game it is. There will be so many things to do, Im gonna prolly flunk outta college because of it.

once you add the 2 consoles itll be close with a slight edge to halo... my guess will be $140-150 million 1st day sales
