Analyst – GTA V will outsell the next Call of Duty

4.4
EEDAR’s Jesse Divnich has tipped Rockstar to end Call of Duty’s three year streak at the top of the annual charts.“It goes without saying that GTA V will be one of the year’s biggest releases, but I will take it one step farther and say GTA V will be 2012′s biggest release, the analyst told IndustryGamers.

Dont get me wrong, Call of Duty will undoubtedly be huge, as it is every year and it may even grow, but if I had to call what will be a photo finish race, I will go with GTA V.”

Grand Theft Auto IV has shifted over 22 million copies worldwide in the three years since its launch. That said, each of the three most recent Call of Duty releases – 2009′s Modern Warfare 2, 2010′s Black Ops, and 2011′s Modern Warfare 3 – have set entertainment launch records, outselling not just games but films, books and music.

Grand Theft Auto V was formally announced in November, although beyond the first trailer, Rockstar won’t tell us anything.

Jayden- I literally can not wait for this. GTA is the most epic game. I play TBoGT all the time. Never gets old!

This will easily be better then the next CoD however outselling it - I don't know.


The story mode may be better then the next COD, but multiplayer, lol.

Kootah I will definitely be buying GTA V when it's released and I can honestly say it is so much better than any Call of Duty game. The graphics are better and you can tell there's a lot more time put into GTA than Call of Duty.

Can't wait for the release.


Multiplayer sure as hell ain't better.

how can you even say that? none of us know what will consist of GTA V's multiplayer ... It possible could be better and more addictive and any call of duty and even more addictive!!


Hmm..it's not like there was a GTA game before GTA V that had multiplayer on it.

iJarH3ad Don't get me wrong, Most parents NEVER let their kids to play GTA.

Because it's much worse than Call of duty. GTA is where you can kill american people and drugs and tons of crazy stuff, but i do enjoy GTA.

My predict is they won't made it for the game of the year.


Yes it will, Grand Theft Auto IV was GOTY 2008.
