The PlayStation 4 version of Grand Theft Auto V accounted for about two-thirds of the sales. It sold 2,189,34 units for the PlayStation 4, while the Xbox One version sold 903,978.

When you combine those two versions it has sold 3.34 million units. When you add in the launch sales for the PS4 and Xbox One versions that brings the combined sales up to 36.46 million units.

I didnt understand one think. How can possible 3,093,320? 2,189,34+903,978=3093012 not 3,093,320
I wonder how many people that bought this game already had it for the PS3 or XB360... I betting it was a decent percent but I think they should have received a considerable discount for it... In a way its kinda sad that it did so well because they would definitely have offered a better deal if it hadn't... I'm content with my PS3 version for now.
Impressive. But sad that it sold more than Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age. Two excellent games.
Impressive
Hmm, I wonder how that's going to look for November PS4 sales? And Still no PC well it just makes financial sense... PC will be getting it but not after they milked the console market to the max!
Still no PC. :(
You can w8 m8. At the very least, it's looking to be a good port.
i can't believe this sold 2M first week on the PS4.
I can think of other games that deserved better sales.
