drummerklg Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Take-Two has announced that Grand Theft Auto V generated approximately $800 million in sales worldwide during its first 24 hours on sale. According to Take-Two, this marks “the highest first day retail sales of any title in the history of the company and the Grand Theft Auto series.” Take-Two notes that the figure includes sales across both platforms in all territories, but added that GTA 5 has not yet launched in Japan or Brazil. "All of us at Take-Two are thrilled with the initial response to Grand Theft Auto V,” said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick. “Once again, the team at Rockstar Games have outdone themselves, setting the entertainment industry's new standard for creativity, innovation and excellence. Beginning at midnight on Monday, consumers around the world gathered in anticipation to be among the first to experience the evolution of this remarkable series. In North America alone, more than 8,300 stores opened their doors at midnight to welcome fans whose loyalty and enthusiasm were rewarded with what The New York Times called 'the most immersive spectacle in interactive entertainment'. We are incredibly proud of Rockstar Games' creative achievement and could not be more pleased with the success of this launch."

Parker Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm sure the fine men at Rockstar are very proud of that achievement and they have every right to be. They made a damn fine game and deserve all the praise the get for it. I'll be playing it for hundreds of hours at the very least. Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsouzaz Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Not my cup of tea, but I recognize its value and deserves the success. After all, the production of the game had costs superior to $200M, whoever makes such an investment,deserves to harvest their fruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullstomp Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 With the new gen systems coming out in November coupled with the high sales numbers already achieved, the probability of a price drop by Christmas is high. I'll jump on board then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
