Most PCs don't have mid level graphics, they have integrated or low end graphics.

Let's just say there is 500mil active PCs out there(low estimate)
Only 10% has mid level graphics or ~50million
Only 10% of those PC owners buy GTA V or 5 million
It would cost $50 a piece(PC tends to be $10 lower and more sales)

That would mean roughly another $250.

I would say a realistic low estimate if PC market was launched as well is another additional $100mil in 3 days.

It's no joke how successful the sales on this game is.

But then you realized that you are just pulling the numbers out of your ass.

What you are not taking into account is that consoles may have been highly capable when they came out, but the PS3 is now 7 years old. The XBOX 360 is 8 years old. Technology moves fast in that amount of time.

The graphics processors in each of these (ATI Xenos X1800 derivative for the XBOX, Nvidia RSX G70 derivative for the PS3) may have been state of the art 8 years ago, gut both of them are outstripped even by current embedded graphics. I really was being generous to the consoles when I said Mid-level PC graphics are needed. Currently integrated video processors will handle the workload just fine at the same conditions these consoles run under.

But all of this really si moot since there was information leaked about a PC version of GTA V being released in time for the Black Friday/Christmas rush.

That's exactly what you needed to say to get the point across. If its not understood now give up before it gives you a headache.
