I must have been WAAAYYY off base with that one....

As for your shot about me being a "Star Commenter", I am still not exactly sure on how that whole thing goes (as far as who is and who isn't) but, I am assuming somewhere along the line, someone took notice of what I had to say and liked the way I say it. I call things the way I see them. If I think someone's statement is based in fanboy land, I let them know. If I am proven wrong I admit it. Yours may very well be a case of mistaken I.D., but given the evidence and people's defensive nature when it comes to H3 the All-Mighty... Can you realy blame me? ;)

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> Wow, what a generation can change! To think that GTA was the biggest game last generation and Halo 3 killed it during its first week, and now, GTAIV did even better! The fact that it's multiplatform probably helped since GTA is a very popular game among North Americans and America is 360 country.

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @Ra is still on the A-Team!: That's not a very fair comparison. If Spider-Man 3 cost $60 a ticket than I'm absolutely sure it would've made more than $300 million at the box office.

With that said, wow, it beat Take 2's own expectations.

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @deathtastic: GTA is great, but there are still lots of ares to improve upon. Still has frame drops, glitchy controls - especially melee combat, odd AI gaffes - like your dates swimming through rivers and ponds, etc. etc.

GTA5 will be better looking and playing as will other games on both consoles before the generation ends. It always happens as devs get better at programming or a console.

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> So far, I don't think I like it as much as San Andreas =\ They cut too much, I think.

The stat system, the BMX (it's stupid, but I loved those bikes, heh), the parachute, the jet pack, the ability to buy property, the option to defend your turf, planes, and the big open areas in the mountains and whatnot there.

I've played around a bit on multiplayer, and done the first 'execution', so far. So, if any of that stuff suddenly appears after that, hooray, but it's not looking likely ._.

Because (6,000,000 X 60$ a piece= 360,000,000. Far from 500,000,000....) the math just doesn't add up. That would mean that over 4,000,000 copies of special addition had been sold.

menghis_khan

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @argh: In corporate speak that means "They gave us enough cool stuff to overlook flaws and post 10/10 anyway."

What else dose a 10/10 mean if not PERFECT?? Do you get a 100% on a final in school if you miss a question or 2 because you were especialy insightful on an essay question?? Are they working on an extra credit system?? It is saying " It was so good in so many areas that we are over looking short comings in other ares in order to score it a PERFECT 10/10."

GTA 4 is hands down THE best game I have ever played, yet is IS NOT PERFFECT! it should not get 10/10 no matter how you PR spin it. No game should.

That is the problem with the scoring system as I said before. The 10/10 scoring system exists for only one reason, that is to hype up the game and apease the advertisers and keep them giving money to thier site/mag. (You do remember Gertzman-gate don't you??)I give NO credence to any site/mag that uses that system because of the mitigating factors that I have stated previously. I will stick to the "scoreless reviews", feedback from actual gamers, and playing it myself to decide what the truth is about a game.

Mr.SithNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @Mr.SithNinja: That's one thing IGN touched on:

"A 10 doesn't mean a game is perfect -- it means a game is pushing boundaries, expanding a genre, and doing many things to a level so far above and beyond its competitors that they overshadows any flaws." -IGN

This statement won me over.

argh

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> This doesn't surprise me. The game is an excellent game. After completing it though I have noticed some things that got left out. I'm hoping as a result of making all of this money some of those things get added back in. At the very least I expect to see plenty of DLC for this game....and it better be high quality DLC...not just a random character you run into on the street (unless that's characters story is long and drawn out).

oh and I believe the top grossing hollywood film is Pirates of the Caribbean: World's End (not Spider Man 3) with 406 Million in first week sales....so GTA IV topped even that.

thor79

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> Every review that I read that gave the game a 10/10 clearly stated that does NOT mean the game is perfect. There is no such thing as the perfect game. If there were such a game, that is the only game we would ever need to play, ever.

A 10/10 review simply means that the game is great on such a scale that the flaws it has can easily be overlooked for the rest of the game.

I love how narrow minded some people can be. If a game is lavishly praised across the board and they happen to not like it, they immediately say "Rockstar paid for the reviews". I have never, in my gaming hobby, seen a game that got reviews as high and glowing as GTAIV. It is a marvelous game, with a few flaws, but I challenge any of you that disagree with the overall reviews to find a game that does EVERYTHING GTAIV does and does it better. You could realistically split GTAIV into 4 games and they could all stand above 75% of the garbage that is released these days.

KillerBee

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @argh: @Ra is still on the A-Team!:

Not to take anything away from the greatness that is GTA4 but how can anyone truly give a game a 10/10 with that much pop in? It IS better than just about any game on the market right now IMO but it is NOT perfect.

There is an inhearent problem with numerical scores like that. It is all still left up to interpretaion and affected by the biases of the reviewer. And in all fairness, some of the tactics used with reviewers (Hotel suites and swag) HAVE to influence SOME of the scores.

This is why I love the way the reviews are done on here. They take the good, the take the bad, they take them both and now you have a game review (either that or the Facts of Life). It is far better and much less suspect than slapping a 10/10 on it and calling it a day before they even check out of the hotel that R*/TT put them up in.

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @xXSlayer77Xx: There are obviously way more sales of GTA4 for the Xbox360 than PS3. I'd guess that at least 65% of the sales were for the 360. That said, it still beats Halo :P.

argh

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> I've been playing GTA IV for a few days now. I agree that it's technologically impressive. But as a game, I just don't find it that great. Sure there's a lot to do, but it does nothing well. Forza 2 drives better than GTA, Gears has a better cover system, Halo3 plays better as shooters, Mass Effect has better story, etc. I just don't get why the sum of all these inferior parts make up something much greater.

darvos

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> But is there a a game on "ONE" console to match Halo 3 sales. Remember, GTA IV is multiplatform so of course it got to half billion very quickly. that about 250 million for each console.

xXSlayer77Xx

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> Amazing! This is a huge accomplishment. These numbers absolutely destroy any previous records by ANY movie or game. Deservedly so, the game is amazing. I'm hovering around 50% completion, something like 25 hours played and I'm loving every minute of it.

Huge props to Rockstar, I don't see this release being topped anytime soon. Maybe GTA5 in 2012? ;P

argh

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> Awesome, they're of the few teams that have worked hard to give us good games that really take advantage of this gens hardware. I was really hoping MGS4 would be the one to trump Halo 3's release but what the hell.
An important question I think is, what does Jack think about this sales, and now that we're at it, what does he think about the game, I think we all remember that mugshot (EDIT pic) of him with the game.

WingZero987

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @agies: yea but the PS3 version of GTA4 out sold Halo 3's day one sale and it had to compete with the 360 taking away some of their sales due to people not crossing over or simply buying a 360 instead of PS3 for the game, without real numbers just gonna guess that it was a 50/50 spit so PS3 version got 3million in 7 days, Halo 3 did 3.3mil in 12 days

Bleentastic sees bandwagon and jumps

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> And how many sales will they lose in the second week thanks to people selling the game used after realizing the reviews were over-the-top to the point of being criminal (30 perfect 10 reviews at gamerankings? Really?). Mine's up over at eBay for $47.99 as I type and it's one of many (I was shocked it's already down to $48 bucks. It usually takes a month to drop that far in the used market.). It's not a horrible game, but it is the most overrated game ever released. Come on Rock* -- you still couldn't find a way to add halfway points in missions so we don't have to play through entire missions a second time when the game glitches?

rmeehan17

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> Extremely impressive figures, to be sure. I have to point out though that it took a multi-platform game to topple the previous record holder. I'm not saying this out of fanboyism, but rather to put things into perspective. Is anything going to be able to beat out GTAIV's launch now? Probably not any time soon, and certainly not any game released on just one platform. Also makes me wonder whether R* will even be able to top itself.

Regardless, it's releases like this that prove just how viable gaming has become as a form of mainstream media/entertainment, which is something for all of us to be excited about. Hopefully we'll continue to see more growth in this respect.

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @TheSonicGamer: You couldn't be more right. I bought an Elite for Halo 3 when it was launched and was a little pissed that is was not *that* much better than 2. The graphics were sharper and gameplay seemed smoother but it wasn't a 'leap forward'. GTA4 IS a leap forward and a groundbreaking title as where H3 is nothing more than a glorified expansion pack. I put it next to RB6V2 at this point.

Mr.SithNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> "and we believe these retail sales levels surpass any movie or music launch to date."

I really wish gaming publishers would stop bringing up this pointless comparison. Your game costs $60 minimum. Someone can see a movie or buy a CD for under $15, and more people saw Iron Man opening weekend than bought GTAIV by far. Apples and oranges.

liquidcross

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @TheSonicGamer: QFT! I was surprised when I played it that it really does live up to the hype... Only downside is that the next GTA can't live up to the same hype purely because the first game achieved so much and there's a limit to what the consoles can do without a hard drive install.

I'm praying the next game is enforced hard drive install! Even then though, all I really hope for is an expansion/prequel like the other 5 GTA3 games released.

Jekht

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @TheSonicGamer:

My only complaint is that its kind of buggy and the AI is still an issue as with all GTA games. But with the scope of the game, the storyline, the animation, the graphics, the gameplay and level of detail put into the game its just a small complaint that can be lookd over but still lives up to the hype.

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> @exkon: Calm down fanboy, it has been mentioned several times in comments. Mainstream media on the other hand dosen't care about that.

Mr.SithNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> It's funny how GTA4 seems to be the only game that truly lives up to it's hype. I've heard people say how Halo 3 was great, but not perfect, how Brawl's single palyer campaign was horrible, but GTA4 is actually doing amazing. I havent heard so much as one major flaw in the game at all. If there is, it's probably minimal compared to other games.

]]> <![CDATA[Take-Two Confirms GTA's Half a Billion Week]]> Although GTA IV trumps Halo's first week sales, you have to figure that Halo was only released on one console.

It's not going to be that big of a deal for EA or the Take-2 shareholders. They make that money, and then continually lose money the next quarters. People aren't going to care that they're a one-trick poney. They're going to want results and profits. And EA can offer them that.
