This game is just pure awesome. I think all this hype is largely due to the previous generation GTA games. I've played all the other ones. Favorites are Vice City and San Andreas. Previous versions definitely led the way for a great promotion and grand opening for this game. The game play is mind blowing.
I'm surprised the revenue surpassed Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 though that is one of the most popular games out now and sold out on just the pre-order.
I was underwhelmed by GTA 4, because of the sluggishness (on PS3), but that's reportedly gone. One of the cooler things I've heard about GTA 5 is that they're, when online game play goes online (later this month), going to create in-game television by piping in other player's gameplay framed with newcaster narration.
