Biggest for two days, second biggest for three.

 

Going by the money the game sold 12 million units in the first three days.

Holy shit  

 

That's insane.  But awesome for them.  It'll be a while until GTA 6 is anywhere close to release.

Biggest 'Weekend' in entertainment history (RDR launched on a Friday) yet second behind GTA ever because GTA launched on a Tuesday (not weekend). 

 

 

 

Incredible results. Not too surprising but incredible none the less.

Some more broken records that you didn't include:

 

• Most pre-ordered full game ever on PlayStation Network;
• Biggest day one full game sales ever on PlayStation Network;
• Biggest first three days full game sales ever on PlayStation Network.

NPD is going to be interesting, I know they have the Pro bundle however people buying the Pro and X are obviously going to be more researched I guess you could say and with all the technical breakdowns against the Pro and that $100 off promo for Xbox it's going to be kind of unpredictable. 

 

The X charted on Amazon for October, the Pro did not, RDR2 bundle included. Also the Xbox standard version of RDR2 is currently in the #1 position. 

 

 

This is the UK
