This has been reported throughout the internet all today. Fortunatly for GTA V fans, this was just how much they sold retailers. Had GTA V done that, or any (hyped) game for that matter, they could all set a record. So... after that piece of information, how is SG enjoying Ghosts?

A billion here is a million of millions 10^12

There's the short-scale billion (i.e. 10^9 = 1000 million = 1000000000) and then the long-scale billion (i.e. 10^12 = 1 million million = 1000000000000).

That's what MrC means by 'American billion' or 'real billion'. Most of Continental Europe use the long-scale whilst English and Arabic speaking countries use the short-scale. The UK used the long-scale up to the early part of the 20th century but has since changed to short scale. More info here.

Nope. It was proven as a lie.

Edit by that I mean that Cod Ghost has made 1 billion but has not yet sold it. Words are everything. There is nowhere where it says the sold over 1 B but they have been paid. Rockstar holds the record for 24 hours still.

lmao. not even close to 1 billion. a lot of ppl still wait for next-gen consoles... just like with bf4 for example... let's just wait till november before talking about billions. especially considering the poor reviews ghosts has got and the overall poor feedback from players on twitter and reddit.

While it may be that people are waiting for a next-gen release, you are wildly overestimating the percentage of gamers who bother to read reviews or care what Twitter says. FIFA, Madden, Call of Duty - people around the world buy these games on release without a critical thought. They don't care. They don't think. Their friends are getting it, and they don't want to be left behind.

They don't know what 1080p means. They don't know what anti-aliasing is. They don't care about a metascore. They don't know about the evolution of the shooter genre or the integrity of the developing studio or the rumors circulating on blogs and review sites. They just buy the game.

On a forum on a website where people give away games for a specific piece of software for a specific platform, you get an insulated community where it seems like 70% or more of the people care what they buy. It's misleading. Most people give hardly any fucks about the stuff gaming forums buzz about.

I buy FIFA every year and I do care about what I buy. I also buy a NBA game every year or two.

I wasn't saying that everyone who buys those games doesn't give a shit. Just most of them.

Bitter Wii U owner here. I don't mind waiting for the PC release as it will generally be superior (moddability is king,) but I would've loved to play this on my Wii U.

I think he's talking about GTA V, as cowbell mentions R* and scurvebeard is talking about a game that he wouldn't mind waiting for a PC release. It obviously can't be about Ghosts as that's already on PC.

So no need to reference GTA? It's kind of obvious.

I'd love to hear your explanation on how a machine more powerful than the PS3 or X360 can't run a game which plays on the PS3 and X360.

Ah, yes. You do know that the only currently released console that handles 1080p is the Wii U, right? Just because Nintendo isn't fighting on the front lines of the console wars doesn't mean that they haven't won.

GTA V is actually good. Great, even. Ghosts I haven't tried yet, but I doubt they put 1/100000 of the effort Rockstar put into creating the whole goddamn universe in this game.

PC release next year too.

While I do think that they needed a Wii U release of GTA V, I don't think a PC release is needed just yet. I'd rather that they work hard on it instead of rushing it to the market. GTA IV is bad port and I'd hate to see that happen to GTA V. It's an amazing game.

I bought it, completed the fail storyline, then played the other modes for a few matches & then went online to find they have tried to make it into battlefield so I went back to playing MW3

They didn't sell for $1 billion in one day to customers, retailers ordered that amount in preparation for launch.

The reviewers seem to finally realize it's the same game for the 5th time, so hopefully the buyers will too. CoD needs to die.

It's hard to care when they're only selling these many units by virtue of career hype machines. Big company sells lots of copies of brownwashed tripe to consumer whores. Woohoooo. Headline material.

BREAKING NEWS, some guy in some other city was involved in an accident and died.
THIS JUST IN, Gunboobies : Revelemptionpocalypse went turbo-platinum with 62-zynjillion copies sold in the first minute!
