Publisher Take-Two Interactive has announced that the Grand Theft Auto series has sold 66 million units worldwide since its inception in 1997.
The impressive figures have established the crime series as the company’s biggest franchise to date, according to Take-Two Chairman, Strauss Zelnick.
Elsewhere, the publisher divulged sales figures for its remaining Intellectual Properties (IP), revealing that Midnight Club has sold 11.5 million units to date, with Manhunt, Bully and Red Dead Revolver all selling 1.5 million units each.
Civilisation has also performed well, selling 8 million copies to date, followed by Max Payne at 7 million, with BioShock and Mafia both selling 2 million units. Finally its latest IP, Carnival Games, is said to be approaching the one million sales mark.
Executives also noted that Rockstar Games is currently developing “at least one major sequel” due for release next year, but did not go into detail on the matter.

Woo-hoo! GTA is the bomb...can't get enough!
@Deusthousand: The new game is gonna be that wild west game
Sale figures for GTV IV will quite possibly be the most a video game has ever sold. Its gonna be MASSIVE.. I mean they've completely sold out of the limited edition version in Australia already, and must be reaching their marks in other countries too.
What the h*** is that Billy_Bob_Joe? Anyway, I don't understand why they just do not release Bioshock on PS3. Just doesn't make since to me.
Thats not surprising, the GTA series are QUALITY!!!!
psn id: gingo.... a second bully would be awesome but the sales figures for GTA are jaw dropping, who would have guessed the worlds biggest gaming franchise would have been started in Scotland
