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.

Malwarebytes I think it will. I used to love COD and play it everyday but it is getting very overplayed and boring. looking foward to gta 5.


*1 year later when the next big game is coming out*

I use to love GTA5 and play it everyday but it is getting very overplayed and boring. GTA 4 couldn't even stay in the top 20 most played games while 3 call of duty games are currently in their. GTA 4 is only back in the top 20 at 17 because of the hype around GTA 5.

I liked GTA 4 but the multiplayer was only fun for about a week. And since I'm not 10 years old anymore, stealing cars and running over people got bored pretty quick.


Act like a Fan boy all you want, but he is right. I used to LOVE CoD. I beat every CoD on Veteran and have unlocked every achievement on every CoD, including DLC. I have always been good at the game as well. I have put hundreds and hundreds of hours into multiplayer and maintained a kill/death ratio between 2.20 and 2.90 in every CoD. However, the last few titles really haven't been up to par. It just keeps getting worse. Every year, they gear the game more and more towards the 12 year old runners and less towards strategic, skilled players. As much as I hate to say this, I don't think I will purchase another CoD title.


First COD played: MW2, Best COD played: MW2. Admit it, it died from there on, GTA is unique and very fun. I'm going to laugh when this over takes COD.


MW2 is the worst COD made, so your opinion is automatically invalid. GTA will probaly overtake Minecraft on XBL, on PSN idk. Unless they add some groundbreaking multiplayer, it isn't going to overtake COD.

And **** you can't even buy GTA without your parents, how am I suppose to take you seriously?


Your so ignorant. You can't just claim someone's argument is invalid because you don't agree with it. Modern Warfare 2 sold 7 million more units than previous call of duty's which is the largest jump in the series. And do you seriously support the idea that Call Of Duty 2 is better than Modern Warfare 2? No. Unless you have any evidence of anything you say besides your argumentative opinion, kindly leave.

No... MW2 was the classic COD which was when the majority of people started to play COD. (Not cod4)

No worries, millions of other people will. And the only CODs that get progressively worst are the IW cods.

Moor3z Call Of Duty are bribing people to stay with them, it's stupid.


Call of Duty is sending people money to keep them playing their game?
