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.

Malwarebytes I think it will. I used to love COD and play it everyday but it is getting very overplayed and boring. looking foward to gta 5.


*1 year later when the next big game is coming out*

I use to love GTA5 and play it everyday but it is getting very overplayed and boring. GTA 4 couldn't even stay in the top 20 most played games while 3 call of duty games are currently in their. GTA 4 is only back in the top 20 at 17 because of the hype around GTA 5.

I liked GTA 4 but the multiplayer was only fun for about a week. And since I'm not 10 years old anymore, stealing cars and running over people got bored pretty quick.


Act like a Fan boy all you want, but he is right. I used to LOVE CoD. I beat every CoD on Veteran and have unlocked every achievement on every CoD, including DLC. I have always been good at the game as well. I have put hundreds and hundreds of hours into multiplayer and maintained a kill/death ratio between 2.20 and 2.90 in every CoD. However, the last few titles really haven't been up to par. It just keeps getting worse. Every year, they gear the game more and more towards the 12 year old runners and less towards strategic, skilled players. As much as I hate to say this, I don't think I will purchase another CoD title.


First COD played: MW2, Best COD played: MW2. Admit it, it died from there on, GTA is unique and very fun. I'm going to laugh when this over takes COD.


MW2 is the worst COD made, so your opinion is automatically invalid. GTA will probaly overtake Minecraft on XBL, on PSN idk. Unless they add some groundbreaking multiplayer, it isn't going to overtake COD.

And **** you can't even buy GTA without your parents, how am I suppose to take you seriously?


No... MW2 was the classic COD which was when the majority of people started to play COD. (Not cod4)


I don't care how many people started playing it then. MW2 was terrible and it catered to bad 14 year olds such as yourself, which is why you probaly think it's the best COD. COD is already an easy game, and MW2 just took to to a whole other level.

MW2, worst, COD, ever.


I'm 15, not 14. And I'm probably alot more mature than you are/were at that age. (Even though you're probably 12 or something)


You still can't buy the game without your parents though.

-OH-NO- What do they mean "could", it will !!! unlike Call Of Duty, rockstar games finds something new to entertain the gamers everytime they make a new game... GTA V FTW !!!!!!


Silly child, as much as everyone wants their favorite game to outsell COD because they think it's better, doesn't mean it will. If it was up to me, skyrim would of outsold COD.


im already past puberty ******.

there's a difference between Gayrim, or the elder scrolls, unlike this trash game gta has been a ongoing succesful franchise, and also one of the biggest games ever sold like gta san andreas, a platnum hit that outsold a bunch of games at the time of its release im pretty sure that if i went up to someone and asked them if they ever played gta they'd probably say yes, and if i went up to someone if they ever played ant elder scrolls games, most would be like "What the **** is that ???", POINT MADE.


Can't beat a prepubescents logic.

Ankoku Of course Grand Theft Auto V Will destroy all of the Call of Duty sales. Grand Theft Auto is a more recognized name. Not only that but it is way funner. Way better story. And the reason is because Rockstar does not like to rush games out. They take all the time in the world. To make it the best game possible.


Do you have some statistics which state that Grand Theft Auto is a more recognizable name than Call of Duty? Or is that just an assumption?
