According to vgchartz Grand Theft Auto IV has sold around 4.2 million units on the first day of it’s release! With 2.5 million being sold in America and 1.7 million being sold across Europe.

“Data for the first day of GTAIV sales shows that the game sold roughly at a 6:4 ratio in favor of Xbox 360 to PS3 in the Americas. While that means the game sold better on Xbox 360, it had a higher attach rate on PS3 - the same story was the case in the UK according to an earlier report by Chart Track.”

It looks like it sold well on both systems, around the same ratio worldwide.

“Sales have also been brisk in Europe, along with Chart Tracks report of 600,000 copies sold in the UK in one day, VG Chartz estimates that around 1.7 million units were sold across Europe and others on day one -the format split is roughly a mirror image of the Americas, with around 60% of all European sales being on PS3.”
