They did, and with the option to buy money with real cash they'll just make a whole lot more.

In total I think they will make around 3-4 billion from GTA V alone that is an enormous profit and I cannot wait for GTA V Online only 8 days to go now :D.

-Amp The sales for this game just went off.
It's great.


Exactly, I hope the Call of duty series goes bankrupt.


I doubght this to happen very much as others have said in other articles on the site a lot of people are just sheep and buy the game I do not think they will go bankrupt but I do think they will loose a lot of sales in the next console as they have even more games to compete with.


I agree with this. Call of Duty may be getting worse by the game but regardless of this people will want to buy it just because it's "CoD". I don't think they'll go bankrupt but they might stop making games, that won't happen for a looonggg time though.
