@Just_Ben, The lifetime numbers for the 360 and ps3 are to high. The highest selling GTA game to date(vice city) sold 15Million, and at the time the PS2 still had a much larger installed base than the 360 and PS3 combined have now. The current roughly 12 million on 360 and 7M on ps3 is 4M higher than Vice city. Game will sell a ton but 19M would make it the all time best selling game that is not included with a console. Edit looks like someone just sold down 360 to 10M so 17M is still on the high side but more reasonalble
The first indication of GTA IV's presales performance was revealed today when Take Two Interactive confirmed that the special edition of the game has almost sold out in New Zealand. While the tiny island nation of just over four million inhabitants doesn't put much of a mark on worldwide sales figures, the excitement which must be brewing among Kiwis is probably something echoed all around the world.
A webshots user named pallamallawa has uploaded six images of what look to be the map insert for the PlayStation 3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV. Images include the city itself, complete with descriptions of various locales, the Liberty City subway map, and the controller map for the PS3. It's about as New York as you can get without actually being in New York. Everything looks rather official, though I'm going to go ahead and rumor tag this pending some sort of official confirmation.
Xboxworld.nl pinned up some alleged screens of Grand Theft Auto 4 multiplayer today, before the powers that be ripped 'em right down. Thing is, the ol' kibosh just ain't what it used to be, and sure enough, the images have resurfaced all over the place. Couple these glimpses with rumor of 15 multiplayer modes and 16-player support, and, um, wow ... who even needs those DLC episodes?
@felipedmoreira, This is off-topic, but felipedmoreira, you have been contributing nicely to the site - I have noticed the quality of your content postings (articles, etc) has increased quite a bit in the past few weeks. Nice job and nice having you around! :D
