•The launch of Max Payne 3 has been moved out of fiscal 2010.
GTA 4 slowly creeping up there, RDR reaching 5, I wonder if it's selling really well or if they stuffed the channels. LA Noire! I'll believe when I see it though! Probably delay it a qtr! MAFIS 2...RAWR...man that game looks fun!
Picked this from Neogaf, to put GTA 4 numbers into perspective
15.0 mil | Grand Theft Auto III (launched about a year into the generation; sold ~10 mil after 2 years)
17.5 mil | Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (launched 2 years in the gen; ~12 mil after 2 years)
22.5 mil | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (launched 4 years in the gen; ~18 mil after 2 years)
17.0 mil | Grand Theft Auto IV (launched ~2 years in the gen)
Edit apparently they may be adding the EPS content into the sales
