Egads, Man: Grand Theft Auto 5 Rakes in $800 Mil in One Day
Of course it did, but it's still no small feat.
Take-Two Interactive announced that Grand Theft Auto V has brought in a cool $800 million in worldwide sales on launch day. Cultural phenomenon, people. Cul-tur-al phen-om-en-on.
This is the biggest launch day sale for the GTA series, and also the biggest in Take-Two's publishing history. What's even more impressive is that GTAV beat out Call of Duty: Black Ops II's previous record of $500 million in first-day sales.
Congrats to Rockstar and Take-Two, honestly. Although the series fizzled out for me after Vice City, it's always a sight to see something like this. I kinda feel like checking the game out, myself.
Oh, hello Redbox text alert, telling me I have one free game rental today. Time to go hunting.
