According to an article at Variety.com, "Sources close to publisher Take-Two Interactive, whose Rockstar Games label is developing and releasing the title, said that the latest installment of the hit franchise will reach that figure [$400 million] and sell some 6 million units after it launches worldwide on April 29." Though an idiot could probably guess that one, the article goes on to say that publishers are able to accurately predict sales based on retailer orders. Finally, the article explains: "Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes said that "GTA IV" will likely do "two times the volume" that "Halo 3" did for his chain, while GameStop senior veep of merchandising Bob McKenzie said the game is currently tracking slightly behind Microsoft's three-quel." While I'm sure this will happen, time will just have to tell wether or not it can top Halo 3, or even Pirates of the Carribbean: At World's End which grossed $404 Million worldwide in the first six days after it was unleashed to moviegoers.
