Forums - Sales - GTA V is the fastest selling game in UK history

MikeRox on 18 September 2013

Given 360 is the best selling console in the UK (even beating out the Wii) I'd wager 360 has the better sales here.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I'm predicting:

860k for 360
710k for PS3

It made $800 million in 24 hours and it deserves every one of those sales.

Absolutely massive as expected. This will easily beat every CoD WW, including Ghosts


That remains to be seen.  Activision release a Call Of Duty game every year and put up crazy numbers.  Grand Theft Auto release about every three years and do numbers.  COD did numbers like 20 million worldwide and GTA haven't if I'm not mistaken.  I'm going to get Call Of Duty: Ghosts myself.

Well that seals the deal then.

 

Of course it remains to be seen, but it is very probable, and both GTA IV and San Andreas have sold over 20m units, San Andreas even only on single SKU (The King PS2) if we go by VGC numbers, and San Andreas is most probably undertracked since older games don't have complete data and are not tracked for quite some time, San Andreas may still be selling in some markets, it was still in some retailers in Poland not long ago.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Totally deserves to dethrone that mess of a game called Call of Duty.

Not surprised. Glad to see Call of Duty dethroned.

3 times as many copies as GTA4.

Gigantic. The king is back.

And I thought the nudity would decrease some of its sales. Wow!

Interesting.


It seems males aged 15-35 are attracted by boobs.

 

Who woulda thunk it?
