ODST Was kinda hoping they would make it a billion in a day since it was going to be so great. kinda sad more or less over the amount just due to high expectations and number count. 800 mil is still a nice number to sit on though.


It's because Rockstar never fail to disappoint, and they also don't publish GTA games very often. But, I think because they don't have multiplayer available yet, that's what affected their sales figures.

Congratz to Rockstar, this is like a Well Deserved Paycheck to them. Didn't they spend like 200 million in cash on this game?
