Grand Theft Auto 5 ships 29 million units to retail

4.6

Take-Two revealed today that it has shipped nearly 29 million copies of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 since the game's launch last month.

"The title received stellar reviews, shattered entertainment industry records, and has already sold-in nearly 29 million units to date," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said. "The extraordinary success of Grand Theft Auto V illustrates the positive momentum in our business and consumers' enduring appetite for the highest-quality interactive entertainment."

Take-Two notes that sell-in numbers for Grand Theft Auto 5 already exceed Grand Theft Auto 4's lifetime units shipped in its first six weeks of release. Grand Theft Auto 5 earned the company $1 billion in three days, breaking the previous time-to-$1 billion sales record set by Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

BoBoJBoBo How long do you think the hype for this game will last? Until ghost comes out?

Even after that, GTA V will stay popular for a long time.

I could see the game being popular for the next 1-2 years at the least.

I would say even a few years after that. GTA IV was being played for years after release.

A lot of games are still played through this day like MW2.
