wait till the PC release next year, it will be over 30 mil by then... most likely.



 

With holidays right around the corner I can see this going on to break 30m easily.
Are there any records GTAV hasn't smashed??

EDIT: And if we see concurrent psonepc releases, we could see this break 40m.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but first month sales is generally 60% of lifetime for AAA titles, or something like that. If first month is over 20m, then 40m isn't too much of a stretch.
