Take-Two anunta vanzarile dupa 24 de ore ale noului GTA
Nu stiu daca ati observat sau ati fost la curent cu noile stiri, dar ieri s-a lansat in sfarsit GTA V pentru console, in jurul acestui eveniment generandu-se o adevarata isterie, drept dovada si threadul dedicat jocului pe forum. Stiu ca sunt multi curiosi pentru voi care sunt dornici sa afle cat de mare a fost lansare si cate jocuri s-au vandut. In primul rand vreau sa va informez ca GTA V a avut cea mai mare lansare din UK atingand un record de 1.57 milioane de jocuri vandute in prima zi, generand vanzari de aproximativ 65 de milioane de lire. Insa in urma cu cateva minute Take-Two a oferit un comunicat de presa in care a specificat ca in primele 24 de ore de la lansare, GTA V a avut vanzari in intreaga lume de aproximativ 800 de milioane de dolari. Este un numar incredibil, 800 de milioane de dolari, cred ca este un adevarat record, oricum cred ca jocul merit fiecare cent. Mai jos aveti comunicatul respectiv:

Grand Theft Auto V® Retail Sales Exceed $800 Million Worldwide During First Day of Launch
First 24 hour sales highest in history of Take-Two Interactive Software and Grand Theft Auto Series
New York, NY – September 18, 2013 – Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) today announced that Grand Theft Auto V delivered the highest first day retail sales of any title in the history of the Company and the Grand Theft Auto series. Launched on September 17 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the title has already received widespread critical acclaim and achieved first day sell-through of more than $800 million worldwide, excluding the upcoming launch in Japan and Brazil, according to Company estimates.
"All of us at Take-Two are thrilled with the initial response to Grand Theft Auto V. Once again, the team at Rockstar Games have outdone themselves, setting the entertainment industry's new standard for creativity, innovation and excellence," said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. "Beginning at midnight on Monday, consumers around the world gathered in anticipation to be among the first to experience the evolution of this remarkable series. In North America alone, more than 8,300 stores opened their doors at midnight to welcome fans whose loyalty and enthusiasm were rewarded with what The New York Times called 'the most immersive spectacle in interactive entertainment'. We are incredibly proud of Rockstar Games' creative achievement and could not be more pleased with the success of this launch."
Following are samples of early reviews:
"No other world in video games comes close to this in size or scope, and there is sharp intelligence behind its sense of humor and gift for mayhem. It tells a compelling, unpredictable, and provocative story without ever letting it get in the way of your own self-directed adventures through San Andreas. It is one of the very best video games ever made." – IGN, 10/10
"It's a remarkable achievement, a peerless marriage of world design, storytelling and mechanics that pushes these ageing consoles to the limit and makes it all look easy. As we stand on the brink of a new generation, GTA V sends an intimidating message to the rest of the industry. Beat that." - Edge, 10/10
"You've never seen a game world as thoroughly realized...as irresistible to play as it is to admire." – Time, 5/5
"GTA V is the culmination of everything we love about the series: It's big, it's pretty, and most importantly it's just nonstop fun." – Guardian UK, 100%
