No game in the history of ever has sold that many copies on day one on PC.

No game in the history of ever has sold as many copies on Xbox 360 or PS3 as GTA V just has either, no? ;-)

That said, I think I agree with the inferred point that simultaneous PC release wouldn't have had a huge impact on revenue.

Several blockbusters, such as Call of Duty, have sold more on consoles than GTA V currently has, just not on day 1.

Well, according to wikipedia, it took 5 days for COD:BO2 to earn $800M. Game grossed $500M on the first day.
