Reasons why GTA 5 was hugely successful

 


The impact of GTA 5 cannot be understated; it's the second best-selling game of all time.


GTA 5 made $800,000,000 on its release date. It surpassed a billion dollars within the next three days. Over 150 million copies were shipped from stores. Only Minecraft has beaten it in sales, yet they have the advantage of being child-friendly.


There are multiple factors to GTA 5's explosive popularity. Rockstar Games put forth a ton of effort into this game. Fans were excited about several new features and more importantly, Rockstar had already built an impressive reputation. Suffice to say, fans were not disappointed.

Because Retirement Spent in Vegas Is Fun!

How would you feel about all of a sudden winning around $700,000 at once? It does sound like that would be the best day of your life. You may think that such lucky occasions don’t just happen to anybody. Some people who engage in gambling claim that it’s all about karma, some are sure that you need to find the right slot machine and others believe in lucky numbers or omens.  No matter what your beliefs are, we all know that big wins at casinos are scarce.

Shooting for the Moon

  The 1969 moon landing feels like ancient history, but it was an unlikely proposition when Kennedy proposed to land on the lunar surface seven years earlier. Although JFK didn’t live to see his vision come to life, one bright bloke from Preston was rewarded handsomely for his patience and faith. In the spring of 1964, David Threlfall convinced William Hill to give him 1,000 to 1 odds that a man would land on the moon prior to January 1971 . Even though the sci-fi fan only wagered £10, he obviously received his £10,000 with time to spare. That’s worth more than £155,000 today. What’s even more interesting is William Hill has offered 500 to 1 odds that the government will admit to faking the whole thing. Who knew being a conspiracy theorist could be profitable? Of course, we would advise you against placing that bet.
