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.

PearityKijiji I don't know about you people but I don't feel like CoD ghost will be differents from others to beat gta V :p
I agree don;t get me wrong they have changed quite a bit but overall it will be the same thing except with a bit better graphics and dynamic maps lol.
I truly don't believe CoD: Ghosts will do as good as GTA V did on release day, so many people have been waiting for GTA V, now I'm not saying people aren't waiting for Ghosts or anything, just GTA V had/has a way bigger hype going on so I think it's going to be at the top for a long time.
