Dr-Ponyfile $800 Million wow just wow but this was to be expected a game like this that was anticipated for a while now was going to go big they smashed all the other records and it is going to be hard for other companies to even come close to it good for Rockstar and Take Two.


I agree but Cod Ghost could be as big as that etc....


More people have been excited about GTA 5 over CoD: Ghosts though. Now I'm not saying CoD: Ghosts will do bad, but it might not sell as good as GTA 5 did on the first day because of the hype over GTA 5.
You know Call of Duty is one of the most played franchises in the world. I am pretty sure it will sale as good as GTA or maybe even better.
