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 of Grand 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.
◾ Launched Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and persistent online game, which is free with every copy of Grand Theft Auto V.

[UNCMark]

And only available on 2 consoles. Many more sales to come.

 

[BeastLeeAdams]

Damn. It is going to be an interesting VGA this year for GOTY.

 

[BigDug13]

Just imagine when it comes out on PC, and if it also comes out on PS4/XBO.

What's the biggest selling game of all time?

29 million on only 2 platforms is fucking insane.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Jesus Christ.

Just imagine when it comes out on PC, and if it also comes out on PS4/XBO.

What's the biggest selling game of all time?

Wii Sports

[Ricerocket]

Not even surprised to see ridiculous numbers for GTA5.

 

[Linkin Park]

It's record will be beating eventually, no doubt. By

Spoiler

GTA 6

 

[Danielsan]

Absolutely crazy. Looks like Rockstar did well going PS3/360 only initially.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

So they've already shipped more of V then any prior GTA?

That's freaking crazy.

 

[shinobi602]

 

[Brashnir]

That's a lot of torture scenes.

 

[Agnostic]

I was expecting a number like this after a year. Wow.

 

[Chezzymann]

Just imagine when it comes out on PC, and if it also comes out on PS4/XBO.

What's the biggest selling game of all time?

Wii Sports. 81 million copies sold.

 

[Asd202]

Nice.

 

[Sethos]

I don't see the big deal. Shania Twain's "Come On Over" album sold like 39 million copies.

Not impressed, maybe next iteration Rockstar.

 

[Tan]

That's insane. In such a short amount of time too.

 

[EteRnal PAL]

Goodness gracious... well deserved! Now work on getting that $500k into our bank accounts please lol

 

[Cjdamon042]

Peter Molyneux: "Still not impressive."

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Great news.

Fix online, add heists and more content pls.

 

[Averon]

Wow at those numbers.

That Pokemon vs GTA5 thread really is funny right now.

Wah? People actually thought Pokemon could compete with GTA?

 

[BigDug13]

Jesus Christ.



Wii Sports

Oh I see you edited, was going to say wrong on wii-fit.

Does it really count when every single Wii outside of Japan came with wii Sports?

I mean if that's the case then Super Mario Bros for NES and Super Mario World for SNES are most likely higher due to it being in every box.

 

[Mass Effect]

God damn. It will only keep selling too, especially for Christmas.

If they do a PC or next-gen port, that's another few million right there.
