'GTA IV' to eclipse 'Halo 3' sales
Rockstar's launch of Grand Theft Auto IV on April 29 is predicted to eclipse first week sales of last year's record-breaking video game Halo 3.

Variety claims that industry analysts and "sources close to Take-Two" believe the forthcoming epic will surpass the $300 million made by Microsoft's highly acclaimed Halo 3 during its first week on sale.

The report also suggests that the title could topple the $404 million made by movie Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End during its first six days at the box office.

Developer Rockstar said it believes Grand Theft Auto IV will sell more than six million copies during its first week on sale.
