The famed Grand Theft Auto series has made headlines yet again! As newly-released sales figures show, Grand Theft Auto IV has crushed the competition by selling 3.6 million units and earning $310 million in its first day of release, earning Guinness World Records for the Highest Grossing Video Game in 24 Hours and the Highest Revenue Generated by an Entertainment Product in 24 Hours. These records establish GTA IV as the most profitable entertainment release of all-time, far surpassing other video game, film and book releases. According to Guinness World Records, this is how the game stacks up against the competition:
Fastest-selling video game in 24 hours: Halo 3 at $170 million
Fastest-selling theatrical movie in 24 hours: Spider-Man 3 at $60 million
Fastest-selling book in 24 hours: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows at $220 million
This game is deathly addictive. Six hours is like a walk in the park. I am glad I don't have a system because I might neglect my child to the point of no return. Either that, or he will be pulling missions with me, holding me down on the online Turf Wars.
You and me both. Talk about take your life over.
ReplyDeleteI would get sucked right into playing it for 15 hours and not even realize the sun is coming up.
This game is crazy. I play it for a couple hours at a time.
