GTA V records biggest launch in UK history

4.6
Grand Theft Auto V has claimed the record as the biggest UK video game launch in history.

Rockstar's latest title, which launched globally on September 17, managed to sell around 1.57 million units in its first day on sale, pulling in around £65 million, according to Chart Track figures.

How these figures break down by platform went unspecified.

That smashes the previous record held by Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops, which managed 1.41 million units sold and around £58 million in its launch day, November 9, 2010.

I highly doubt another game will be able to break this record. This game seems to be one of the most highly anticipated games of the last decade.

all i wana see is call of duty get punished... i hope the devs at IW and TREYARC take note of how its really done.... if you want to send out a statement of intent then call in the british, how ever many years of hard work paying off en-masse... iv not played as much as id like but GTA5 deserves to become the biggest selling game of all time and its goin to take an absolute genius to better what R* have done
