Speaking at its second quarter financial results last night, Take-Two revealed that the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto IV has sold 8.5 million copies to date out of the 11 million units shipped to retail.
The company also revealed that BioShock, which is headed to the PS3 later this year, has sold a total of 2.2 million copies to date.
Take-Two Chairman, Strauss Zelnick, commented, “Take-Two’s performance has exceeded expectations through the first half of fiscal 2008, clearly demonstrating the creative, operational and financial strength of our business.”
“Our results reflected the extraordinary success of Grand Theft Auto IV, the value of our catalog of titles, and our ongoing initiatives to improve the efficiency of our operations. We look forward to continuing to enhance stockholder value by building on our broad portfolio of internally developed and owned interactive entertainment brands, leveraging the opportunities in the current industry cycle, and operating our business in an effective manner.”
Grand Theft Auto IV has proven to be a runaway hit on both sides of the Atlantic, receiving unanimous praise from both critics and gamers alike, becoming the biggest selling entertainment launch in history.
The game rocketed to the top of the charts across the globe, and has yet to be knocked of its pedestal in the UK, where it has held the top spot since its release on April 29.

Great news Take Two, however not great news if you bought this game for 360, turns out you wont be getting your DLC until january - march 2009!!!!
hey Bill! What a way to spend $50 million, ha ha ha ha
Or in another way to put it hesmanes is that the DLC might be substantial. Which would be a cause for envy.
great week next week mgs4 and civ rev gonna be good but also very bad as i have fricken drama on friday exam and ive failed all the drama exams ive done if i get a D tho that wud be alright as i got A/B on practical.
Whoooaaaaa!!!! that's amazing... I don't think I'll buy this or any more GTA games I've just lost interest in them since San Andreas, it's all pretty much the same with extra little features which I don't really care about
who cares, that game didn't live up to the hype. i finished the missions, now there's nothing to do. i should probably try multiplayer though, although it's always like 3 vs 2 which is sh!t
haha COD4 shifter over 10 million, gta was overhyped and wasnt as good as the previous ones. the online was okay tho
this piece of crap sold so much. what is the gaming world coming to.
yippie, im sorry i got sucked into the hype for this game. saints row 2 ftw.
You're an idiot psycho_mantis, Call of Duty has been out since November, Grand Theft Auto came out April 29th. Do the math.
@staticneuron
pfffffft i dont think so
all of u should wake up! the only reosen GTA IV wasant wat was expected is because wat was expected was the PS3 EXCLUSIVE version, but nope, it had to be dumbed down afew thousand shades so the 360 could handle it, ............wich its barely able to do anyway!....
Over 8million copies in just five weeks, that's truely amazing if if it'strue that it's multi platform (I guess EA can stop dreaming about buying out Take Two, lol), now we have to wait and see how well mgs4 sells!
Thats good but I can't play GTA4 anymore as it crashes every 5 minutes. No one has come up with a solution yet :-(. I've tried everything. I've got a 60GB PS3 and the patch that Rockstar sent out and the firmware 2.35 will not fix the issue. I'm so dissappointed I'm not playing this game...
I was disappointed in this game. The graphics are crap, the radio stations are HORRIBLE (3 rap ones? come on!!!), and the controls are terrible. I still have to beat the game, but I might wait a year like I did with San Andreas. Because of GTASA and now GTAIV, I don't think I'll be buying any more GTA games.
@ps3addict
i know what u mean but dont oyu think everyone already has gtaiv no so i dont think its sales will increase much more, cOD4 took 2007 and MGS4 will take 2008.
@ gabriel1985: What an intelligent and well thought out comment. I wish everyone here would put the same effort into their posts. Thank you for showing us how its done.

Nice number but I'm still going to wait on it. It seems like a great game but I was getting used to flying a jet to get anywhere.
psn id: gingo.... 8.5 million copies in just over a month is absolutely phenomenal and over the summer i think they will get even more sales of this
Yeah, I don't think this game was that great either. I'm not surpised it sold so well with all the hype. I bought it on launch day, but was bored after two weeks. San Andreas really was a better game. It's kinda sad really, it seems like expectations for video games has gone downhill.
...after trialing the game in-store, I honestly wouldnt buy it unless i could have a lot more pre-purchase fiddling with setup and play - It was awful.
<first impressions>
This game didn't appeal to me as I thought it would be. I still can't believe this game got perfect scores from the reviewers. There were just going with the hype this game had...sadly. From this I learned not to judge the game by what the reviewers say. I will judge a game now by playing it and coming up with my own conclusions
