I also edited what I said that you just quoted. I copied someone else stating two billion. They probably only made $800 million as Take Two didn't make $60 per game sold.

Full results are in the link below. They made 361 million profit from sales of 2.35 billion. Good, but people keep confusing the amount a game makes in retail (1 billion a day) with profit Rockstar T2 makes: remeber: retail takes cut, manufacturing and transportation costs money, etc. etc. Plus GTAV had a marketing and dev budget of 263 million. So a great, GREAT hit, but the take home money is far less than people think. See for yourself:

30m x $20 per game is $600 million. With the digital sales added ontop of that, another 500k maybe? That's why I said they probably made around $800 million. I posted that it wasn't the $2.03b and I was just using what someone else stated, clearly admitting a mistake I made in a prior post and people want to use that instead of when I corrected myself. In the very same post as well.
