Rockstar's newest game "Grand Theft Auto V" has officially been released to the public and many analyst think the game could break sales records by the end of this month.

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter wrote in a note to investors on Sept. 16 that 14 million units of "Grand Theft Auto V" will be sold its first month alone, according to CNET.com.

Pachter said he thinks the game could reach 24 million unit sales in total, which would earn approximately $1.4 billion for Rockstar.

Another analyst from RW Baird predicted similar success for the game in a note to investors as well this week. The note, written by Colin Sebastian and published by GamesIndustry.biz said the franchise could earn around $1 billion in retail sales by October.

There is a significant chance the game may not reach sales expectations however, as many people prefer to wait to buy the game used to save some money.

Regardless, Rockstar has to be pleased with the expectations for "Grand Theft Auto V" considering the franchise has been around for over a decade.

The game is so popular a man in the U.K. was stabbed and robbed of his copy while walking home shortly after picking up "Grand Theft Auto V" according to the Daily Mail.

The estimates published are based on the retail price of $60 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Rockstar Games recently revealed a new contest that will allow one fan to win a real version of a car featured in "Grand Theft Auto V."

The grand prize features a 2013 Bravado Banshee, which has a retail value of approximately $180,000. The contest ends Sept. 30.
