GTA V has shipped close to 29 million copies!!!!!!!! HOLY DUCK!

[Eudemon]

Take2 Interactive have just not long revealed that in a little over six weeks that Grand Theft Auto V has sold near to the 29 MILLION mark!! That's absolutely insane, incredible and mad at the same time. It clearly deserves a lot of sales due to how good it is but my god those figures on just two consoles are absolutely mind-blowing!!

:shocked:

Launched Grand Theft Auto V worldwide on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft. The title received extraordinary reviews, including over 160 perfect scores worldwide, and already has sold-in nearly 29 million units, exceeding the lifetime sell-in ofGrand Theft Auto IV on console in less than six weeks after launch. We believe Grand Theft Auto V is the fastest-selling entertainment release in history*, grossing over $800 million in retail sales during the first 24 hours after launch and over $1 billion in only three days. Grand Theft Auto V became available for digital download through the PlayStation Network on the day of release and became the biggest release ever on the platform. In addition, the Games on Demand release of the title on Xbox LIVE became the highest grossing day 1 and week 1 release in the platform’s history.

Holy crap that's crazy! IV had only managed 25 million by late 2012 apparently. To achiever 29 mil in 6 weeks is bloody incredible. :panic:

Haha that's awesome, - but who's making the money here - the developers or the publishers?

 

My spreadsheet estimates that if pCARS sold 29m copies I'd make nearly AU$600000 on my own. :hmmm:

I'll still be ecstatic if it sells one tenth of that amount
