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.

MTV It could happen. CoD is failing recently.


I'm glad it is, I want a new series to take the FPS king title form COD...


I just don't see it happening though, the only one that i could see taking over is Battlefield. That's a really high chance though, CoD has always been at the top for FPS. If they actually made the game different, their would be different results with their players.

Hillin Honestly it would be good to see another game on top for a change.


It would be nice, but it probably won't happen...


No i think it will.


There's also a lot of GTA fans out there, all waiting for GTA 5, I think the anticipation will get the game up top.

Toll GTA 5 imo will always be better than cod so outsell or not i will still view it better


I think its better also, it deserves to outsell Cod though...


COD just has the well known name, so does GTA, but COD has become more popular during the last few years, whilst only GTA 4 has been out, that's why I think GTA 5 will be awesome.


I know why COD sells well, but GTA is a better game.


That's exactly why I'm hoping for it to outsell COD, it deserves it... I mean 5 years in development VS 1 year for COD. Come on GTA!
