Eurogamer has some juicy news from Take-Two. Since video-game publishers can guestimate based on stock requested by game retailers (Especially from a game like this), and according to the data supplied, it’s going to sell 6m copies worldwide, and make a cool $400m.

This would be the biggest launch in videogame history, but compared with the current record holder (Halo 3), that was a console exclusive compared to GTA IV being cross-platform. However, here’s a nice tidbit for you: The biggest selling film in history was Pirates of the Caribbean, which made $404m in the box office. That’s some degree of perspective, as to where the media market is shifting.

According to GamesIndustry.biz, Wii Fit’s pre-orders are not going to be fulfilled by original stock. Even the mighty Amazon has run out of stock.

However, there is something to be said about this: This’ll go into the gaming market once again, and will probably either dominate the chart for it’s first few weeks, and/or stay up there like the abomination + Wiimote that is Wii Play for weeks on end. But is this really a game? It’s a one-shot peripheral, that is at best an impulse buy. I’m not one for exclusion of all Wii titles, but surely these peripherals coupled with an excuse to sell said peripheral a game shouldn’t really be included, especially since the majority of the cost is the peripheral itself.
