Gian Luzio, Head of Games for online retailer Play.com, has commented on the success of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV for the company, stating he has been “blown away” by the number of copies the game has sold through prior to launch.
“This is the biggest ever title for PS3 by a long way – and probably 360 as well,” said Luzio.
Targeting the PS3 version specifically, Luzio noted how the upcoming sandbox title has proven to be a massive console seller, adding, “I’ve been really blown away by how quickly it’s sold on PS3. Sales have gone crazy and have proven to be a real hardware driver already.”
“We’ve sold out now, but will be getting in more stock as soon as it becomes available,” he added.
“We expect to have some stock back in for the day of release on April 29th.”
