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.

AwesomeSauce69 "could"? No, it will outsell Call of Duty. Call of Duty is no where near as good as what GTA 5 will be.


Just because, in your opinion, GTA is a better game than COD does not mean it will outsell COD. I liked Kingdoms of Amalur far more than Skyrim, and though it sold well it didn't come near outselling Skyrim. Sales figures are based on the popularity not the quality when it comes down to it.


But Overall it is definetly the most anticipated game

There's always new children who join the CoD fanboism. We won't know until then but I seriously hope it destroys CoD.

MTV I doubt it will.


I think it will, GTA 5 doesn't come out every year and will probably be one of the most anticipated games of the year.

Zinx GTA V is going to be no doubt the best game of 2013.


I agree.
