Wow... To think some were saying it might not get to 20m lifetime. Amazing sales.

"Take-two didn't say whether the game was profitable yet"

It better be, if you sell 17m copies and haven't broken even you're doing it wrong.

This is insane, really, and well deserved !

I couldn't believe the title of this Thread at first glance...

Was busy playing Save Me Mr Tako instead. I'll get to RDR 2 soon hopefully. Enjoyed the last two Red Dead games.

Ha I’m not ahead of you much; only got in about 5h.

These numbers are friggin huge. My jaw dropped when I read it. From everything Ive heard about RDR2 (e.g. slowness of travel), this must be one of the most untraditional sales behemoth games ever made.
