MCV has obtained UK sales figures for Rockstar Games’ GTA 4 after only one day on sale. The figures from ChartTrack show that total online and High Street sales for the game reached 609,000 in only 24 hours, making it the fastest-selling video game in a 24-hour period in UK history.
ChartTrack director Dorian Bloch told MCV: “It’s looking very, very promising for Rockstar in terms of full week sales. Even if they don’t even sell one more unit, the current figure would still make for an astounding week one performance.
“Barring a catastrophe, with lorries bringing stock into stores going AWOL, we can only see that sales number going up and up.”
GTA 4 beats the previous record held by GTA: San Andreas which sold 501,000 units back on October 29, 2004.
