Who thinks that GTA 4 is going to break Halo 3s impressive record sales? I personally want to see halo's record beat since it wasnt that great of a game only the online was good.

GTA 4 is multiplat, so it stands a great chance of selling more than Halo 3.

halo3's sales record isnt for selling the most copies..its for bringing in the most sales on day one.

Yeah. I believe CoD4 has outsold Halo3 overall already. But then again, it is multi platform.

theres no way. passed gta games only seem it sold a lot (10M) but theres was about 100+M ps2 out there while halo 2 sold about 8M and there was about 20M xbox out there. so is you do the math with nex gen, halo 3 sold about 8M with about 20M xbox 360s. now there are about 30M ps3,360 sold worldwide, i dont think gta its going to sell as halo 3 did.

Over all platforms, yes.

On 360, I highly doubt it.

I like GTA alot more, but Halo is the "face" of Microsoft.

Someone did the same thing in the PS3 forums with GTA and MGS

I'm sure more people know of the Halo series rather than the GTA series. Did you see how many wish lists Halo 3 was on when it was announced compared to GTAIV?

It has a good chance of beating Halo 3's record, and I really hope it does so we can put this Halo 3 crap to bed. Personally, I didnt like Halo 3.

personally i think it will obliterate halo 3 in sales simply because its multi platfprm. i imagine just about every 360 owner and ps3 owner will be buying it. my local GAME shop reckons that pre-orders of the game dwarf pre-orders for halo3.

TC, Halo 3 was awsome.

Anyway, I think this is a no brainer. The GTA games outsold the Halo series last gen, why would it be any different this gen. And it's multiplatform, so it only increases thechances.

If GTA 4 outsold Halo 3 though, that wouldn't break Halo 3's record. Halo 3 set the record form most units sold at launch, not for selling the most games ever or anything.

And I don't think GTA4 will break that record.

It will outsell Halo 3 but I doubt it will get more day 1 sales.

But then again its on two systems so its a possibility.

it might not do as well as last gen cause when San Andreas was released everyone and their mother owned a PS2 at the time....hell, I would guarantee they release a new GTA on the PS2 and it would blow the next gen GTA4 sales out the water with the 360 and PS3 combined.
