INFOGRAPHIC: Just how big was GTA V?

We all knew GTA V would sell well, but not even the most optimistic analyst could have predicted how big it’d be after just four months.

GTA V’s UK launch week was massive, with 2.25m games sold (it’s nearest rival was Black Ops, which sold 2m in a week). It was even bigger than the combined launch week sales of the next five biggest UK launches of 2013 (FIFA 14, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and BioShock Infinite).

Here’s a graphic highlighting some of the UK stats (courtesy of GfK Chart-Track):
