Take-Two Interactive Software and Rockstar Games announced early this morning that Grand Theft Auto 4 has sold 6 million units of its criminal action game in its first week, with estimated retail sales exceeding $500 million.

Rockstar Games put $100 million dollars into the development process and quickly made all that money back and then some. Quite crazy how much game development is nowadays. It's pretty much the same amount of money to develop a hollywood movie.

The game is still selling at a whopping $60 a pop.

Three new images of Grand Theft Auto IV surfaced yesterday, and if you're interested in giving this measly offering a glance you may do so at the link.

I must say, though: that's some mighty detailed graffiti, which is obviously an indicator of the fantastic graphical beauty the game's got in store for us.

Cross your fingers.

Unfortunately, GameBump has not yet been able to get our grubby little hands on a preview of Grand Theft Auto IV (Rockstar, we're waiting for our invite, just shoot me an email!), but our friends over at GameTrailers.com got a chance to go head on with this massive title. Below are a few excerpts from their preview.

We won't paste the entire preview, but head over to GameTrailers website to get the full thing.

Rockstar has taken some time off from its Manhunt 2 rantings to grace us with some interesting screenshots for its Grand Theft Auto IV. All screens are viewable at the link.

In more pertinent GTAIV news, Gamasutra is reporting that there will be no GTAIV release for Nintendo's Wii console due to the game being "ill-suited" for it (yet Bully is apparently a go, explain that one to me).

In this same fourth-quarter results announcement, Rockstar also confirmed that it will be bringing fresh, exclusive downloadable content to the Xbox 360 version in 2009.

I suspect it must suck if you're a member of the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) today, as Rockstar and the BBFC have engaged in a heated discussion regarding Manhunt 2 and the BBFC's refusal to certify the title - allowing it to release to gamers in the UK - at Rockstar's appeal of the decision.

Eurogamer has the full scoop and details Rockstar's defense of the BBFC's rejection of Manhunt 2 as delivered by Geoffrey Robertson, who suggested that the BBFC be renamed to the "British Board of Videogame Censors" (oh, snap).
