GTA 5 sales to top $1 billion in first month, analyst predicts
Sales of Rockstar’s latest will outpace GTA 4, the analyst said in a note to investors reported by Gamespot.
“Given the significantly higher installed base of relevant console platforms at launch, greater sales concentration among the top video game franchises, and unprecedented pentup demand, we expect GTA 5 to outpace GTA 4 sales, and generate roughly $1 billion in retail sales during the first month,” he said.
GTA 4 shipped 11 million units in the first month following its April 2008 launch, and has so far shipped 25 million copies. It’s worth remembering that Call of Duty regularly manages lifetime sales of over 20 million units with annual releases – can GTA blow that out of the water after five years rest?
Grand Theft Auto 5 is available now on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. PC and PS4 releases have been rumoured after an alleged source code leak.

KonviictedGotta_Have_It Good prediction, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets very close to $1 billion.
It made over $800 million in 24 hours. I think its safe to say it will make well over $1 billion haha.
Probably within the first week or 10 days it might reach over $1 billion. I don't see them needing a whole month to reach $1 billion.

RaciZENU96 1 billion for a game, that's insane! i would not doubt it though, it took them 5 years to make another game so it's worth it.
It also took them about 125,000,000$ to make the game.
Actually 325 million, more than any movie ever except pirates of the Caribbean 3
