PS3 - GTA IV Makes Guinness Book Of World Records
Following Grand Theft Auto's successful launching, many have probably expected this but only this time, it's official. Grand Theft Auto 4 (PS3, Xbox 360) is the newest addition to the Guinness World Record for two categories: it was the Highest Grossing Video Game in 24 hours, and the Highest Revenue Generated by an Entertainment Product in 24 hours.
Just to refresh to you the exact details of the game's performance in the market by far, it has sold a total of 3.6 million copies worldwide during its first day of release, which could amount up to US $310 million in revenues. Halo 3's previous record, which reached a total of US $170 million on its first day, seem to pale in comparison with GTA 4's latest achievement. But, Rockstar's game does not only reign supreme in the gaming world, it has in fact beaten records of such hit-selling franchises as Spiderman and Harry Potter in terms of movie and book sales, respectively. Check out the details below:
* Spider-Man 3 – the fastest selling theatrical movie in 24 hours for US $60 million
* Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows – the fastest selling book in 24 hours for US $220 million
With this recent achievement, GTA 4 has indeed stamped its name in the entertainment industry. Definitely all the people behind the game deserves the recognition that the game has reaped so far! More info as we have them!
