NEW YORK (AP) — Grand Theft Auto IV reached more than $500 million in its first week of availability. This was stated by Video-game publisher Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.

The company said it has sold more than 6 million units globally since the game was released April 29.
The opening day alone saw 3.6 millions units being sold worldwide which amounts to $310 million.

Grand Theft Auto IV follows the criminal exploits of protagonist Niko Bellic, an immigrant-turned-gangster who travels from Eastern Europe to Liberty City, the game’s fictional locale based on New York City. As Bellic, players can hijack cars, earn cash for criminal activities, shoot innocent bystanders and visit strip clubs.

Critics say the extreme violence in “Grand Theft Auto” video games could be harmful to children, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving has complained that the latest version includes the ability to drive while intoxicated.
