Retailers struggling with huge GTA IV demand

Well GTA IV must be a God-sent gift to all the video-games retailers in the world, as it looks like it will be the best selling video-game of 2008.

Several retailers have admitted that they are surely going to struggle to meet consumer demands when Rockstar’s GTA IV launches, on April 29. However, if you’re one of the lucky few that have preordered the limited edition version of Grand Theft Auto 4, you shouldn’t worry, retailers promise you will get your hands on a copy on day one. For the many who have preordered the standard version, the news aren’t that good- you may not be able to play GTA IV as soon as you’d wish.

Here’s what GAME had to say on the matter: “We cannot guarantee delivery on the day of release for orders placed on or after the 7th of April. We are currently sold out of this item. All orders will be dispatched on a first come, first served basis.”

Gamestation continues on the same note: “Due to unprecedented demand for the standard editions of Grand Theft Auto IV, we are no longer taking pre-orders for this version.”

With some analysts predicting GTA IV will sell up to six million copies in its first week, all this shouldn’t come as a surprise…aftar all Karl Lagerfeld is going to be in it :)
