A $500 Million Week for Grand Theft Auto

Dupe:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=183166" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=183166</a>

So it sold more then Halo 3 in its first week? (Halo3 sold $300 million)<p>There is hope... Halo 3 is the most overrated game... but of course sales don't equal quality. Mainly hype. So far GTA has delivered.

Anyone know what the production costs were? Ad costs?
