Grand Theft Auto 5 sales surpass $1 billion

4.6
Take-Two Interactive announced today that based on internal estimates it believes Grand Theft Auto 5 sales have surpassed $1 billion during its first three days at retail. According to the company, the game is the fastest product to achieve that milestone.

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.

Lyon i bet the sales will go up more when ps4 and xbox one comes out .


Don't forget the PC, they are going to make a couple billion


I don't think that the PC version will hit 1 billion to be honest with you.
This gap between releases ended up with PC players bringing out their consoles so that they could play the game instead of waiting to be able to play it on their PC's.

This doesn't surprise me. I wonder what Rockstar will do with this money. It makes me even more excited for GTA 6. It has to be at least twice as good as the current GTA.

It deserves it, such an awesome story it had.

They sure do. It's a great game.


More than great, Badass, fantastic.


Only the online to come now not long now a week, but OT $1 billion is a nice achievement I just hope they don;t add Micro Transactions as it will ruin the game.


I agree, the point of GTA Online is earning money by robbing banks and such, not spending money it and get rich.
