Over the past 24 hours Call of Duty: Ghosts has given a swift kick to Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V, taking away the reigns of Fastest Selling Video Game of all time. Ghosts topped $1 Billion in sales, surpassing GTAV’s $800,000 in sales over release days 24 hour period. Personally I think that this fall back was because GTA V only released on Playstation and Xbox, while CoD: Ghosts was released on nearly every platform available.
