Janco Parters analyst Mike Hickey, as reported by Next Gen, is predicting that the April 29 release of Grand Theft Auto IV might hamper ticket sales of the upcoming (and awesome looking) Iron Man film — releasing the same week on Might 2 — citing that both are aimed at the same demographic. Gamers will remember that similar comments were made regarding the release of Halo 3 and its effect on ticket sales of the same period. While we generally believe that the quality of the film is what’s important, there’s no denying that games are taking up a more significant share of the entertainment market these days. And if one game could derail a theatrical release, it’s Grand Theft Auto IV.
