Grand Theft Auto V Already Outsold Lifetime Sales of GTA IV
GTAV publisher, Take 2, has released its financial statements for its second financial quarter, and guess what? It's done very well thank you.

Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two said of GTAV that "The title received stellar reviews, shattered entertainment industry records, and has already sold-in nearly 29 million units to date. The extraordinary success of Grand Theft Auto V illustrates the positive momentum in our business and consumers' enduring appetite for the highest-quality interactive entertainment."

To give you some perspective on that, it means that GTAV outsold, "the lifetime sell-in of Grand Theft Auto IV on console in less than six weeks after launch."

Yup, so T2 maybe correct to "believe (that) Grand Theft Auto V is the fastest-selling entertainment release in history, grossing over $800 million in retail sales during the first 24 hours after launch and over $1 billion in only three days."

Huge. More numbers and finance data is available here.
