    Last week we reported that GTA V goes into history as the most expensive game ever made with a marketing and development budget of a whopping £170 million (that's $265 million). Well, sales on day...

    GTA V sales are $800 mln on the first day

    Impressive none the less.

    Should Rockstar release this on pc they would make even more.

    They don't even need PC version, i think that's enough for them.

    (Lets hope i am wrong)

    If there is no SDK then I don't really care about a PC version, all their ports have been piss poor in the past, they've made no effort with them.

    Didn't I read somewhere though that GTA V would not be a port ? I thought it was being designed with PC in mind to utilise todays components and specs.

    I agree though, a port would be disappointing even if the game is good.

    I think that they are still working on the PC version that will also be the next-gen version as they use pc architecture. Just my two cents.

    So GTA V only made $800 on its first day? That's not much for a game that cost $170 million to make! ;)

    I think you need to correct the typo in that news story because I presume you meant $800 mil and not $800 min?

    They just tripled the money that was paid for this game and after a week or month in the Headlines: "Rockstar cancels PC version of GTA V because of piracy fears."

    Greedy bas****s...... :wanker:

    I hope, now they can afford to hire developer in order to support Direct Input force feedback wheels properly on PC and won't spend all profits on research of drugs booze and hoes.

    BlackOps2 made 500 million $ on 1st day, and 1000 million $ in a week.

    GTA V will pulverize this record. :D

    I wonder how much of the 800 mil they have to donate to victim support funds for all the violence and mayhem this franchise has caused over the years.

    /sarcasm.

    >violence in the middle east

    >govt is lying to us

    >Another gta causing trouble for emergency services and society, but makes a lot of money so thats ok.

    >Poor people dont work hard enough

    >Economy is ****

    >God bless america

    Almost a billion dollars in a day... Completely bonkers. I wonder what it's like to make 1000x more money than most of us will earn in our lifetimes in just one day.

    PC version now....pretty please? *sad puppy eyes*

    Yeah, making $800 million in one day for a game that cost $170 million to make is obviously very, very profitable. It's a game only available on two formats as well. And unlike the stagnant Call of Duty series, GTA is still a franchise that continues to impress me with each new sequel (mind you, it does help that they aren't churned off a conveyor belt annually like the COD games clearly are so it doesn't suffer from the same 'franchise fatique'!).

    I've been so hyped for a next gen Vice City ever since I heard they were doing GTA V.

    I still don't quite understand why GTA V wasn't released on the PS4/Xbox One in the first place, but it's not like anyone thought it wouldn't sell as is, and it sure as hell did.
