$310 million in 24 hours

He has fingers...he does what he wants
Making millions wasn’t enough for Rockstar Games, so now they have a Guinness World Record to add to their collection.

Guinness World Records has confirmed that GTA IV is officially the highest ever entertainment earner after the first 24 hours of its release. The game generated $310 million, topping Halo 3.

“These records establish GTA IV as the most profitable entertainment release of all-time, far surpassing other video game, film and book releases.”

It seems that the attempts to ban the game have actually increased its sales worldwide. Nice work, Jack.
