GTA V makes $1 billion in three days, may be fastest selling entertainment product in history
Calling Grand Theft Auto V one of 2013's most anticipated <http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/16/amazon-rockstar-early-gta-5-preorder-del iveries/> video game releases would be a massive understatement, but if you wanted some sort of monetary proof of the claim, Take-Two interactive has it. According to a press release issued today, <http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/16/grand-theft-auto-5-review-joystiq/?utm_m edium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget&ncid=rss_semi> GTA V has cleared over $1 billion in sales in its first three days on the market; crunch the numbers, and that adds up to more than 16.5 million units sold. Take-Two says that it believes this makes it the fastest selling entertainment property in history -- the last major release to make that claim <http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/05/call-of-duty-black-ops-2-1-billion/> , Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, took 15 days to reach the milestone. It's an impressive accomplishment, but it's potentially only the tip of the iceberg: GTA V is rumored to be ported to PC and next generation consoles, and has a literal product lifetime to hold down its sales record.
