Just read this on GameSpot. Gta4 made $500million in the first week of sales and 310 of that was in the first day. We're all in the wrong business!!! (unless of course you're actually in the games industry, in which case you're in the right one)

Wow they must have had some loss with the game being leaked early....:rolleyes:

The people capable and willing to download and play the game before launch would also have downloaded it illegally after launch.

This is good news for the college where the physics engine was developed though. They get a percentage of the profits.
