Grand Theft Auto V for Xbox One and the PlayStation 4

The Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 may steal the show this holiday season, but for many gamers who lined up in front of their local GameStop on Monday night, Christmas has already come early this year. At midnight, Rockstar Games released "Grand Theft Auto V," the newest installment in its wildly popular and often controversial series of open-world shooting games.

The first full-fledged Grand Theft Auto title to arrive on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 since 2008's "Grand Theft Auto IV," there is a lot at stake for the new GTA. Rockstar has confessed that it spent more than $260 million producing the game, a budget that makes it one of the most expensive games ever made. In a July quarterly earnings report, in which the company posted a $61.9 million loss, Rockstar owner Take-Two Interactive said it expects the new Grand Theft Auto to outsell its predecessor — a serious feat given that it sold more than 25 million units during its five-and-a-half years on the market. Meanwhile, game industry analysts have even loftier ambitions, expecting it to sell between 16 million and 20 million copies in just six months. It's Such a Best ever game in the History.
