GTA 5 'could outsell Call of Duty'

4.8
Analysts have predicted that Grand Theft Auto 5 could sell over 18 million copies, which would knock Call of Duty off of the top spot on the charts.

Sources estimate that development costs for the game will total around $137.5 million. That's taking into account a 250-strong development team working over five years. It is also estimated a marketing spend of between $69 million and $109.3 million.

The game could sell anywhere between 16 million and 25 million, generating profit from $193.6 million to $390.8 million.

It is said that GTA 5 could also give Activision's Call of Duty a run for it's money on the top of the charts. Which we all know full and well that Call of Duty normally has annual chart dominance.

needing 5 more months of development and being bigger than all of the gta's put together i hope it does, and i hope
they make some profit only because i want more gta's in the future.

I have no doubt that it will, it looks and sounds like it will be a thoroughly enjoyable game with even more interactivity. It will be interesting to see how the sales do for both games over the Christmas period.

Wouldn't be a surprise, GTA's don't come out every year, this might be one of the most anticipated games...
