Grand Theft Auto 5 sales surpass $1 billion
If the estimates by the Rockstar Games' parent company are correct, it will have beaten the already ridiculous achievement by Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 last year, which hit the billion milestone in 15 days.
Take-Two announced on Wednesday that Grand Theft Auto 5 had sales of $800 million in its first 24 hours (compared to CoD: Black Ops 2's $500 million).
Also, we're just using Call of Duty here for comparative purposes. Don't you worry. Call of Duty: Ghosts is still going to do plenty fine, with GameStop recently noting it as the "most pre-ordered" game of the year.

I doubt Call Of Duty Ghost is most pre-ordered, I haven't talked to one person that has told me they pre-ordered it.
Besides I thought GTA got "most pre-ordered" game of the year?

Gigahertz It's easy to see why they made so much money so quick. GTA is a brilliant game series and GTA V is arguably the best yet!
Yeah either that or Lasy of Us.

Deserved of it. Hopefully other companies get the message and step up to Rockstar's level of dedication.
