It's official: Grand Theft Auto 4 now Guinness World Record holder - Image 1


Well, you probably saw this coming if you read Take-Two's statement from earlier, but at least now it's official. We're sending word that Grand Theft Auto 4 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) has been recognized as a Guinness World Record holder for two categories: Highest Grossing Video Game in 24 Hours, and Highest Revenue Generated by an Entertainment Product in 24 Hours.

As a recap GTA 4 recorded a total of 3.6 million unit sales worldwide on its first day, which totals to roughly US$ 310 million in revenues. By comparison, Bungie's Halo 3, the previous record holder, earned around US$ 170 million on its first day. It's not just within gaming that GTA 4 reigns as king for that matter - its first-day sales records also beat out Spidey and Potter's latest movie and books sales, respectively:
  • Fastest-selling theatrical movie in 24 hours: Spider-Man 3 at US$ 60 million
  • Fastest-selling book in 24 hours: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows at US$ 220 million
Technical issues and controversy aside, you can't deny that Grand Theft Auto 4 has already left its mark on the entertainment industry. Check back again in case we receive any further related news.

Man! I knew this was going to happened, because why, its the only game that's really a AAA title.

Even on PS2, it scored 99% and that gold, even platinum man.



Rockstar you rock man.

Peace out...

# The figures don't compare — jimmytime88 2008-05-14 08:45
You can't really compare the sales figures. GTA cost me £45. A harry potter book would have cost about £15. Harry potter would have to sell three times as more copies than GTA to make the same amount of revenue. Maths BS aside, GTA is quality and deserves to have that record.

# OBVIOUSLY — cipherblaze 2008-05-15 02:53
not to mention that GTA was released for TWO platforms. While HALO 3 was released on only ONE. Obviously it sold more................ OBVIOUSLY
