stores, a rate faster than any other video game, film or other entertainment
product has ever managed, its creator Take Two Interactive Inc said on
Friday.
The latest installment of GTA, a cultural phenomenon that has sparked a
national debate on adult content and violence, received strong reviews and
racked up $800 million in first-day sales alone.
Gamers had eagerly awaited the fifth installment of the 16-year-old game
after Grand Theft Auto IV was released in 2008.
It took more than five years to be developed by Take-Two’s Rockstar Games
studio at a cost of between $200 million and $250 million, according to some
analysts’ estimates.
Grand Theft Auto V is currently only available on Xbox 360 and the
PlayStation 3 consoles, owned by over 160 million gamers. Take-Two is yet
to announce a version for the much-awaited next-generation Xbox One and
PlayStation 4 consoles, which will go on sale in November.
