When a game is as big as Grand Theft Auto V it is quite easy for Rockstar to spend much money on making the game as well as marketing and when it gets incredible reviews on top of it, it is expected that it gets an impressive sales record. According to Take-Two, GTA V managed to get the highest first-day retail sale in history bat over US $800 million.

Earlier this month, we have seen that Rockstar and Take-Two burned US $270 million in making and marketing the GTA V game which got them close to the budget of some high-end Hollywood movies and we have also heard and knew that earnings would be big, according to some analyst at over US $1 billion in the first month alone, but we think that none expect it to earn and incredible US $800+ million on the first day alone.

The figure will be even higher and probably break more than a few records since the game did not launch in some important markets and regions. If, or should we say when, Rockstar and Take-Two decide to go for next-gen consoles as well as the PC, these figures will only rise and it will most likely be one of the biggest and best selling games in history.
