Grand Theft Auto IV Hits Shelves, Expected to Top $300 Million in First Week

The highly anticipated launch of Grand Theft Auto IV has arrived and the Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games product is expected to shatter the opening-week record of $300 million set by Halo 3 last year.

GTA IV will be available for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on Tuesday; two years after Take-Two announced the product at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.

The highly controversial video game features a seemingly lawless land that rewards its characters for stealing cars, running from police, killing innocent bystanders, driving drunk and hitting strip clubs.

GTA IV is expected to sell about 9 million units during the first week.
