Comments on: 'GTA IV' poised to break entertainment sales record

Though first-day sales numbers may not be known until next month, early reports indicate the latest game in the hit series could topple the record set last year by Halo 3.

Well...

If it does beat Halo's record, you have to remember, Halo was only on the 360, and only when there was an install base of about 10 million 360s. Now there's about 15 million and Halo 3 has sold over 8 million copies. I'm waiting to see how many copies GTA IV sells on the 360.

Psh...

While I cannot dispute the fact that Halo 3 was a good game, this argument always surfaces on every article ever written on the subject of GTA:IV beating Halo 3. And, I must say, if the publishers of Halo 3 were smart, they'd have done the same thing...

Thank God not EA

If EA was involved in the release you can bet they would have
barged in & rushed production, skimped on compatibility &
generally stuck their oar in where its not needed in their uncontrollable money grabbing lust.
