GTA V surpasses $1bn in just three days!

[AntiOps]

$800m on the first day, three days later over $1bn which makes it the fastest selling game ever. I bet you were a part of this?

[marcotheminer]

Damn thats a lot of potential bitcoins!

[mangox]

lol

If some "random" (haha ) computer game can muster up $1 billion in quick sales, what is a product like Bitcoin worth on the open market? Suddenly, a $1 to $10 trillion "market cap" looks eminently reasonable!

[Light]

Well I most certainly wasn't although 90% of my friends did contribute to those crazy earnings. I'm still waiting for the jury to be out on the game before I proceed to purchase it.

GTA has been around for years, they've spent millions of $ on development of GTA V. It's not a "random" computer game.

I know, that's why I put "random" in quotes, I was being more than a little facetious.

Yes, bought the Xbox game, but a few week before the starting date. (pre order)

The 360 is years old... Is the console able to play V with any kind of decent graphics?

[bitcoindigi]

Absolutely amazing the sales for this game... too bad I don't own a xbox

[LiteCoinGuy]

yeah, good game and not so buggy like rome 2  ...

maybe in the next gta, there will be a hint on bitcoin !

[Welsh]

Rockstar are certainly rubbing their hands together. I believe, the Xbox gets around 20-30 fps. However, I only have it on the ps3. Ps3 seems to cope well, no lag spikes etc.

[huadylmate]

Well it is fastest selling game ever for a reason. I didnt think twice if I have to buy 

[makebitcoin]

It's not just the quickest $1BN selling game. If I understood it correctly it is actually the quickest entertainment product to reach $1BN.
Crazy stuff. Actually beat the movie Avatar too.

[nobbynobbynoob]

Hard to believe I've never played GTA at all in my life. Anywhere one can buy it with bitcoin?

[Rayen]

Oh...

Interesting for sure. I did not know this   - thanks for sharing. Did you know Rockstar spent $150m for development (highest for any game).

Any info on PC release?Will it come out for the real gamers?

[johnmatrix]

I dint expect that amount of purchases for that game, there are better franchises out there like battlefield.
