After only 3 days of release, Grand Theft Auto V hits $1 billion in global retail sales. "We believe this marks the fastest that any entertainment property, including video games and feature films, has reached this significant milestone." Take Two noted in its announcement. Previously, Analysts reported that the game will cross $1 Billion in its first month. They obviously didn't guess it would be this early in the month however.
"Grand Theft Auto is a cultural phenomenon and Rockstar Games continues to redefine what can be achieved in interactive entertainment," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a statement. "We are incredibly proud of the extraordinary critical and commercial response to Grand Theft Auto V." Very impressive compared to other game releases and even movies. It took Avengers 19 days to reach $1 Billion, for example. However a game costs a lot more than a movie ticket.

You don't know who I am? Well sit back because my story is a beautiful tale of power and integrity, a captivating experience and ingenious story.
When I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit, I signed up for the weapon X program where I got some acid stuff in my eye which caused me to go blind except for whenever I shout the word, "SHAZAM." I was part of Project: Rebirth and given an indestructible shield, however I had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider which caused my father Odin to banish me from my home, only for both my parents to get shot in an alley. And to top it all off, I was exposed to gamma radiation when my mother died and I was abducted from Earth by a strange blue-skinned alien, which gave me the ability to teleport, shapeshift, read minds, and squirt milk from my nose.
