This one'll have to be a quickie...

Variety is citing industry sources claiming that based on pre-sale numbers and shipments to retailers that GTA IV may clear $400,000,000 in sales during its first week on the market. It is due for release on April 29th. This would far exceed the current video game record holder, Halo 3 (with ~$300,000,000).

This prediction will be worth S$100 if reported gross sales for the first week of release of GTA IV are $400,000,000 or greater. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117984089.html?categoryid=20&cs=1
