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.

Have you got this game yet? If not, do you ever plan on getting it? Sound off below...

agreed saints row is better at least with that franchise u have the same characters to invest time with AND u can customize your character to what fits your own play style

too many 13 year olds buying a inferior game just like call of duty in the recent years

games get worse as sales go up
