$500 million dollars. That is how much money GTA IV has earned, according to the New York Times, in its first week. Take a moment to let that settle in.

A Hollywood film that grosses $100 million in its first week is considered an enormous success. This game took in five times that amount after selling 6 million copies, 3.6 million of that on the first day alone.

That translates to a little over $250 million in a 24 hour period. Yikes. Love it or hate it, GTA IV is undeniably a financial juggernaut the likes of which has never been seen. In freakin' sane.

Congratulations to Rockstar!
