Grand Theft Auto 5 sales surpass $1 billion

4.6
Take-Two Interactive announced today that based on internal estimates it believes Grand Theft Auto 5 sales have surpassed $1 billion during its first three days at retail. According to the company, the game is the fastest product to achieve that milestone.

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.

Kijiji I don't know about you people but I don't feel like CoD ghost will be differents from others to beat gta V :p


I agree don;t get me wrong they have changed quite a bit but overall it will be the same thing except with a bit better graphics and dynamic maps lol.


I truly don't believe CoD: Ghosts will do as good as GTA V did on release day, so many people have been waiting for GTA V, now I'm not saying people aren't waiting for Ghosts or anything, just GTA V had/has a way bigger hype going on so I think it's going to be at the top for a long time.

Personally it's not the best but it's up there on my favorite games
Why would you say that? Both of you. The multiplayer part didn't even come out yet. IMO: 10/10 so far.
