Video Game Profits

After the first week, Grand Theft Auto IV sales have doubled sales of Spiderman 3 (top opening weekend film ever) over the first 10 days of it’s showing. GTA 4 grossed about $500 million in its first week, while Spiderman 3 took in $240 million over its first 10 days. That is proof that the video game industry is still on the rise, and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.

The $500 GTA did in its first week also broke the record for the previous leader in first week sales. Halo 3 did $300 million in its first week.
