October 20, 2013 by Yesika Reyes

Grand Theft Auto V beats Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’s as the GTA game with best debut records in Japan.

Grand Theft Auto V was recently released in Japan last week. It sold 360,115 copies for the PlayStation, while the Xbox 360 version sold 26,612 copies in its first week.

Media Create, a Japanese sales tracker, reports that GTA V sold through more than 80% of its shipment on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.
