GTA V makes a billion in just 3 days - Angel Pineda 1st Pd

It's been one week since the hit new video game, Grand Theft Auto V (5), has been released and it has been known as one of the most (if not THE MOST) anticipated game of the year. On September 18th, 2013, after only one day of release, the game has already made $800 million dollars, already making up it's $250 million dollar budget, surpassing expectations. Just two days later (9/20/13), it had already made $1 billion dollars, making it the best selling game of all time, surpassing Black Ops II.

ANALYSIS: Personally, I feel the game itself perfectly represents Los Angeles, California as it captures the nature of the city. Many people would think this is game is nothing but a "violent and inappropriate game". The game does show that, however, the game is an open world, letting you do whatever you want (go skydiving, hiking, surfing, shopping, etc.) It can also serve to be a stress-reliever, making those who have been under stress take it out on the game by doing many chaotic things in the game. The game's main purpose as well is to let people do whatever they want to do in their own freedom, making it a great and extremely fun experience.
