We all know Grand Theft Auto V has sold like gangbusters, but today parent publisher Take-Two Interactive announced as part of its latest earnings report for the 2nd quarter that Grand Theft Auto V has now shipped more than 54 million copies worldwide. This is up from nearly 52 million three months ago.
Take-Two revenue rose by 142 percent to $366.4 million, compared to $151.6 million during the same period last year.
