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.

I would have never doubted that this game would reach 1 billion $ in sales, it's a very good game and i think they deserve it.

Dr-Ponyfile This was to be expected the game is fantastic, COD will have a very hard time beating this in fact I do not think they will beat it.


I don't think any game will beat GTA V, at least not this year or on the current gen consoles.
