We all have been waiting for Grand Theft Auto V for more than a year with Rockstar Games putting up teasers quite often and building up the excitement. With it's release a couple of days back to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the sales are reaching new heights. First day sales for GTA V has went over $800 Million on Tuesday, which brings it to the race of becoming the fastest selling game in history. This revelation was done by Take-Two Interactive Software, is a game distributor which owns Rockstar Games and 2K Games. They also confirmed that this was the biggest one day sales for the company ever in its history.
A few months ago, Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 had reached the sales mark of $1 Billion in 15 days which is the current record holder for fastest selling entertainment property to reach the $1 Billion milestone. The same record was previously held by Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 who were able to reach the same milestone in 16 days.
Though the sales look pretty delightful, producing Grand Theft Auto V was expensive and it cost around $265 Million for its production. Speculations indicate about 10-13 Million copies of the game to be sold, since Take-Two did not reveal how many copies were sold.
With GTA V close to release to its PC version and also Battlefield 4 coming soon, do you think that the hardware needs absent in most of the desktops or laptops, for such high end games are increasing everyday? Since most people don't have a mean machine loaded up with extreme graphic cards and processors, do you think that games developed should be made friendly to computers with lower specs?
