With the exception of GTA IV :P Even vgchartz have San Andreas at 23,5 million, while GTA IV is below 21 million and it is very likely that the gap is even biggger cause Rockstar told Kotaku that they shipped 27,5 million copies of SA, so there was a decline in the series :P now though, it's on track for some record breaking numbers.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

GTA 4 was a not a good game imo, critics over hyped it waayy to much. GTA 5 on the other hand is amazing.

I don't know, I enjoyed it :P of course it was overhyped and don't deserve a 98 meta, but still a strong 9 and a great game in my book  

Don't have GTA V yet, struggling to wait for a PS4 version confirmation, but I think that if they won't annouce it before holidays, I will just get the PS3 version, cause indeed it looks quite amazing :D

I just noticed that GT is bigger than COD and Fifa in France...it sold 550k (sku) in its first week there. Compared to 700k multiplat for COD..

Poland:

First 24 hours : 60k (Source: http://www.ppe.pl/news-24373-_najszybciej_sprzedajacy_sie_tytul_w_historii_rynku_gier_w_polsce__.html)

First week: 100k (Source: http://www.ppe.pl/news-24461-tydzien_od_premiery_gta_v__cenega_moze_swietowac.html)

These are record sales and the game came out in a very hard moment when a lot of gamers must make a decision between GTA and newest FIFA which is damn popular here.

That's amazing...do you know when GTA V was released in Poland and France though?

What I think is the biggest reason for holding down it's sales is not Fifa 14, but the lack of PC version, Poland is still for the big majority a PC centric country gaming-wise.

For sure the lack of a PC version was a hit here. Still, 100k in a week in a country where games are so expensive and we have probably around 1.1 mil consoles including all the pirated X360s? That's a great ratio. Myself I won't help the cause just yet, since I smell a PS4 port done together with the PC version in early 2014.

Thanks Elzabbul!
