GTA 5 'could outsell Call of Duty'

4.8
Analysts have predicted that Grand Theft Auto 5 could sell over 18 million copies, which would knock Call of Duty off of the top spot on the charts.

Sources estimate that development costs for the game will total around $137.5 million. That's taking into account a 250-strong development team working over five years. It is also estimated a marketing spend of between $69 million and $109.3 million.

The game could sell anywhere between 16 million and 25 million, generating profit from $193.6 million to $390.8 million.

It is said that GTA 5 could also give Activision's Call of Duty a run for it's money on the top of the charts. Which we all know full and well that Call of Duty normally has annual chart dominance.

I'm a HUGE COD fan ; But can't freaking wait for this game.

Rockstar puts more and more effort in their games. This will be their second GTA release on the current gen systems, so the multiplayer will definitely be remastered. Everyone plays GTA, not everyone plays CoD, and less people are playing CoD now. GTA V WILL outsell MW4 or whatever.

DeadlyDasher Another game thats suppose to outsell COD lol. We went through this with BF3, Halo 4, Halo Reach, etc. Sorry, they all failed to do so, but does that mean the game is bad? No. I looked up the full article and it says the analyst used a "hypothetical probability model"

Aka, he took a wild ass guess.

Yea but what do BF3, Halo 4, Halo Reach all have in common? They are First Person Shooters. There is much more stuff possible with Grand Theft Auto unlike cod, halo and bf3 where it is just run, shoot, kill.


You have vehicles in Halo 4 and BF3 that you can fly and drive.


what dvar means is, with free roam styling theres more ways to reach players for sales,theres the gun fighting that will appeal to shooter fans, cars for racing fans,and the sociability aspect that you can play leisurely with friends more so than a serious shooter or racer and you can interact more in gta, both games will sell tremendously and most people will probably buy both games...as a side note, neither game should even be compared at all because of the very different genres.

Quility I want this to outsell CoD, but we all know it wont. Much of the CoD Community (who are all ranged from 10+) will not purchase the game as they will continue to play the latest installment (BO2). Moving the release date just made it worse as the new CoD game is released less than 2 months after GTA 5.


Moving the release date could actually help, gives longer time to preorder and has potential to lower cod preorders as some might want a game sooner (Sept) then wait for November

COD just has a high franchise. It's all because of the earlier ones also/ Battlefield should be on the top charts. Can't wait for this game!

Hopefully it does outsell COD so Infinity Ward don't make any more games!
