GTA5 is a much bigger game than any CoD so far and likely any future CoD seeing as it is on a slight decline, however as a franchise CoD is quite a bit bigger than GTA. From 2008 to today GTA has sold almost 40 million copies. CoD on the other hand has sold 115 million.

How exactly is it much bigger? In fact, how is it bigger than the biggest CoD titles?  A few days will not determine that, either.


Does it really matter. I'm predicting that call of duty ghost will probably pass those numbers,that still doesn't take away the success that is GTAV. I Love the GTA franchise and like the call of duty franchise,so I hope they both continue to do well.

Can't take away the incredible #'s that GTA 5 has. BUT, doing it once every 5 years is nowhere near doing a billion + EVERY year. COD is the biggest no doubt.

Impressive but also sad that this record will be so short lived with Knack right around the corner.


Dude, I'm not downplaying Knack (It will be a great game), but come on lol



Happy that a non FPS sells that much.

Sad that it's only GTA that can pull it.

COD Ghosts will have to do more than DOUBLE of BO2 and MW3 in order to beat GTA V first week sales and right now basing on its pre orders and pre launch hype...it will be extremely lucky to do even half of BO2's first day in its first week...

COD was a plague, I'm glade it will now fall into oblivion when it comes to videogame history!

You know we still have Ghosts coming out in Nov right?  And being that it's gonna be coming out for all 5 consoles plus PC, it's very possible that it could come close to beating GTAV's numbers.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Well deserved. They put a lot more work into their games than most other companies. GTA has come a long way since it was a top down game back on the Playstation, glad to see it's not only alive and well, but shattering records.

Up yours Call of Duty! Rust in peace. Ghosts will flop!

lol, no. 

Meh. a man can dream =/


It flopping is a bit of a stretch, but hopefully it'll be the first CoD in a long time to not outsell it's predecessor. And it definitely won't come close to GTAV



What's my reaction? I guess it's cool and certainly awesome for the devs and the people enjoying the game. But these records falling multiple times in the past 9 years kinda makes me numb to the whole idea of "breaking the record for most blah blah blah". It's like, cool, I'll see you in few months when we are saying the same thing about COD and then the next big game and so on, all in a relatively short amount of time.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Nah, I don't think it will be that difficult, especially since it is releasing on many more devices (WiiU included). Besides, CoD's pre-hype became irrelevant after MW1. 

So you wanna have a bet that COD Ghosts won't have the biggest opening for a COD game? (Not even gonna compare with GTA V at this point)
