Grand Theft Auto 5 sales surpass $1 billion
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.

There is no way CoD, is the most Pre-Ordered game of the Year, it doesn't deserve to be the most pre-ordered game of the year, because it is going to be another Call of Duty, that nothing has changed except for the Weapons, and the Maps. This year, I hope GTA 5, just pushes CoD out of the way!

AggieMetro_2033 To everyone comparing saints row and cod to gta you can all go back under your rocks :)
I never saw a single person mention saints row in this article.
I didn't mean in this post but a lot of people I've spoke to say saints row is better which obviously it isn't.

BBmodz I doubt Call Of Duty Ghost is most pre-ordered, I haven't talked to one person that has told me they pre-ordered it.
Besides I thought GTA got "most pre-ordered" game of the year?
It's not the most pre-ordered. They're making up shit. It was either BF4 or GTA V.

HundredsIn the past I would of considered them similar but saint row 4 completely changed it up in my opinion now they are nothing alike! I think of saints row 4 as a mix of destroy all humans and what saints row used to be lol. As for GTA 5 it's the good old GTA. I just can't wait for the multiplayer and to play it with my friends!AggieMetro_2033 To everyone comparing saints row and cod to gta you can all go back under your rocks :)

nobody in the world worth talking to would EVER compare Siants Row to GTA.
