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)


MW2 is not the classic CoD , CoD 2 is the classic CoD. It's where quickscoping started and where it gained a huge following , CoD 4 brought huge improvements to QS and MW2 built on those but added alot of things the series could have went without (Nukes , Overpowered Killstreaks. Etc.) But hey that's just my opinion...


This is why I hated MW2, nukes, death streaks, one man army noob tubes, commando, etc. But this is why all the 14 year olds on TTG love MW2, they could go and die 4 times straight and get rewarded for it lmao.

Your so ignorant. You can't just claim someone's argument is invalid because you don't agree with it. Modern Warfare 2 sold 7 million more units than previous call of duty's which is the largest jump in the series. And do you seriously support the idea that Call Of Duty 2 is better than Modern Warfare 2? No. Unless you have any evidence of anything you say besides your argumentative opinion, kindly leave.


You don't even know the difference between your and you're and you're calling me ignorant? Lmao. When did I say COD 2 was the best COD? To some people it may be, but to me COD 4 was the best COD.

Do you seriously think Black Ops 2 is the best COD? Lol jk, adding random stuff you never said like you did to me.

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.

Rockstar really kinda knows that they dont need to much advertising as they already when this game comes out its gonna be the biggest and best game on the market for a goodwhile till maybe BF4 but then again it could still be bigger though. But still this game will cause an uproar of attention when it comes out. They said it will be the most the current console's power will ever go to. And the map is like 4 games combined into massive game that already has so much technology going into it and oh **** sharks and sea life, god damn jets and planes! **** Big Foot on the that 1 photo you already know this game is going to be shit out there!! DAMN i cant muther **** wait thinking about it!!! Same with Battlefield 4! BF3 was only on 35% of the engines power, BF4 will be on 85% of the engines power! And BF3 was F'n Madness!
