Chart-Track estimates GTA IV broke UK sales record

Chart-Track estimates Grand Theft Auto IV sold 609,000 units on its launch day in the UK, which eclipses GTA: San Andreas' 2004 first-day record of 501,000 units. GI.biz reports the game also broke records among the two consoles it's available on, with the Xbox 360 and PS3 selling 335,000 and 274,000 units respectively. The former records belonged to Halo 3 with 266,000 and GT5: Prologue with 80,000 units sold on day one.

The "official" Chart-Track sales data will release on May 6, with the current data being based on electronic point of sale and retailer estimates. We're still waiting for Take-Two to send out a press release trumpeting its global success.

I'm very interested to see U.S. sales.

I havent seen any trailers, read any reviews and have only seen a handful of screenshot, but I have to say "I need this game". Through word of mouth and my experience of previous GTAs, I know I am going to love it. Its just a shame I have given up on consoles (After owning/selling all current consoles) in favour of PC gaming. I am really regretting it right now. *Cries*

[DrCheese]

hmmm, the chat radio seems to just constantly repeat the same two stories(WWKT). I can't remember from previous games, but does the radio playlist get bigger as you unlock new islands? I'm going to go nuts if not.

Yeah its a bit of a though wait, but then you wont regret it when you get the pc version with no bugs and the best graphics, and mouse and keyboard controls, and probably even cheaper than the console version :laugh:

Was playing for a little while earlier today and decided that i wanted to take a spin in a cop car. So I dial up 911 on the mobile, a cop car turns up and proceeds to drive past me and turn round at the bottom of the street.. as its turning round it hits some bins and stuff that are piled up and flips upside down. The cop gets out of the car, calmly walks over to another car parked next to the kerb. Then he smashes the window, unlocks the door, climbs in and hotwires it.. then he speeds off down the street. Made me giggle :D

Anyone know where to find a parachute? I checked on the "empire state building" but I couldn't find any :/ No basejumping in this game?

I dont think there is a parachute :(

[Minifig]

Nope, no parachutes in this one.

This game gets so freakishly hard, and quick. :(

Snow Storm? :laugh:

Snow Storm? :laugh:

Easy grab the health and armor, storm out gun the 3 NOOSE that rush you. The the two in the outermost room, run through hole in fence, then jump in water. Swim to your right to the Jetmax(fastest boat in game) and head to open waters.

Just over halfway down with the main story (they say main story is 68& and I'm sitting at 37%). So I should get that achieve to complete the main story in less than 30 hours then I'll go back and do the rest of the stuff. Got a **** ton of money.

I'd did something rather entertaining today, I climbed a large tower in the fuel yard(?) at the Airport and started to snipe people to get a wanted level. The cops climbed the ladder to get to me and as soon as they reach the top I just kicked them in the face and watch them plummet to the ground. Or wait until there's a good few of them climbing the ladder then slide down the ladder knocking them all off! :laugh:

[soniqstylz]

Fun easter egg for you kids.

In the mission where you decide to either kill Playboy X or Dwayne, kill Playboy. You get his flat as a safehouse. Then change clothes, and you can wear the outfit from GTAIII ;)

[sn00pie]

God I cannot wait to pickup this game. Friday here I come!

[rage710]

An idea for those who want the achievement for the 6 star cop rating. The easy way. I was just screwin around and I found how to do this.

After you unlock the big island (I cant remember the name off hand) go down to the heli tours area and grab a heli. Then, fly over the next island, it is instant 6 star wanted level, then just fly around for 5 minutes, until you get the achievement. Boom, easy 40g.

On a side note...the Deconstruction for Beginners mission is really ****ing me off. :angry:

Just completed that mission, going to have to try that out. I also did "Under The Radar" as I was getting this, just be careful some of those bridges are awfully close to the water and it's hard to manuver a Heli below them.

I just did that also, and was going to come post about it.

Hardest mission I had to do to date, was "Three Leaf Clover". First mission I'm having problems with. Thought I would have it last time I did it, but I drop a grenade at my feet and it killed me. :(

Maybe MADD should target REAL LIFE drink drivers, not pixels on a fricking screen. Showing your priorities right there you bunch of complete morons.

If I were Rockstar I'd reply to half of these idiots in the same way Piratebay responds to legal claims against their website - With complete mockery.

i totally agree! , cause anyone to complains about this sorta stuff in a game is crossing the line as it's a FRICKING GAME PEOPLE!, not real life. ;)

i agree here to as i to am waiting for the PC version (i have XBox360 version though) as i wont be able to fully enjoy the game til i play the PC version as it's aiming system on console even though it's better than previous ones the way it works like ducking behind stuff and then shooting, it's still to crappy feeling since without using free aim it cheapens the feel of the game when shooting at stuff... and even though u have the option to free aim in the consoles it's just to hard to aim quickly enough at stuff vs mouse which is MUCH easier.

i cant wait for the precision of the mouse on the pc version as shooting missions will be MUCH more fun then ;)

p.s. im fairly certain (at least for me) MAFIA 2 is going to be a better game ;) (cause i still prefer MAFIA 1 (on PC) over any of the previous GTA's prior to GTA4 (hell, in a way MAFIA 1 (from 2002 on PC) is still better than GTA4 is in a way although you can tell GTA4 is much more updated with todays technology etc etc)

I just have a quick noob question for the 360 version.

I have not been able to figure out how to join my friends that are playing GTA IV online. I understand that I can invite but is there any way to join their game without being invited to it first?

[Coldgunner]

I think you need to be sent an invite

Thank you I was upto this mission and it was giving me alot of greif. Your solution is great and helped me after 15 tries, to finish this mission.

[Minifig]

Can anyone give me a hint on how to finish a few misssions?

I'm on the mission where you have to take out Dwayne's girlfriend and her new boyfriend, but you have a choice. I leave the girl alone, but, I can never catch up to the new boyfriend. How the hell do you catch him?, I'm also, on the mission for Brucie where you have to run down Lyle Revas, but I can't catch him either. :(
