SaysWho? Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 And at this point, it's probably a few million more than that. Quote Instead, in a twist befitting a game centered on heists, "Grand Theft Auto 5" has sold over 100 million units. "Grand Theft Auto 5" has made somewhere in the neighborhood of $6 billion, according to one report. Quote He's right to be shocked: It's more or less unprecedented, even for mega-hit franchises like "GTA." Zelnick pointed out that the entire "GTA" franchise has sold "something like 285 million units" — "Grand Theft Auto 5" makes up over 100 million of that alone. It's bumping up against the likes of "Minecraft" and "Tetris" for title of all-time best-selling video game. That's due to its extraordinarily long legs — the game keeps selling over time. Quote "There's only been one month since its original launch that 'GTA 5' hasn't appeared among the monthly top 20 sellers list (October 2014)," NPD Group's Mat Piscatella told Business Insider in an email. "There's nothing else like it. Completely off every conceivable scale." In case you're wondering what released in October 2014, there's no Top 20 which I can find, but the Top 10 was: NBA 2K15 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC) Super Smash Bros. for 3DS (3DS) The Evil Within (PS4, Xbox One, PS3, 360, PC) Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (360, PS3, PC) Destiny (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3) Skylanders: Trap Team (360, Wii, Wii U, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, 3DS, mobile) FIFA 15 (PS4, 360, PS3, Xbox One, Wii, PS Vita, 3DS) Madden NFL 15 (360, PS4, PS3, Xbox One) Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (PS4, XBox One, PC) Minecraft (360, PS3, PS4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 GTA 6 in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Since the next one will be on next gen hardware, exclusively I assume, hopefully they can advance the physics system. 5 was a step back from 4 in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandino Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I must be one of the few people who hasn't played this game. Good to see it's success though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku3 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I need to buy this on steam. I have it on rockstar social club but I keep forgetting to reinstall that app. I only tend to install Steam and Origin. Though I guess Rockstar has cloud saves so I'd be missing all my progress. Is GTA online any good I love MP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where Rockstar has literally made most of the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameDadGrant Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Imagine the sales numbers if they ported it over to Switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Swi tch can handle it. It would probably look a little better than what came out for the 360. . .perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom631 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I pretty much buy every GTA, put in a awful amount of time wandering around the world doing random shit...but typically never finish the main story. GTA V was the exception. The story was great and playing with 3 different characters was really fun. Amazing game. I just wish people would stop fucking buying it so they can get 6 out!

PaladinSolo Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'm sure twitch is having an impact on its sales recently with the popularity that RP server, which has it in the top watched games. I'm in tears watching some of these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That then the PC launch is def what has helped keep this going along with a rather well made online mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Whenever this game is brought up it seems to get a lukewarm response or actually leans negative in terms of what people think of it. Man I thought it was an awesome game minus some of the story stuff, and I often think about going back to it for a third play through.
