I would love to know how many alts he has.
Umm it is clear millions want their games. It would be insane to not cater to that market.
Only 0.3% of the world population has purchased a copy. So a major flop if you ask me.
Probably close
I found an article from a year ago where it hit 10M on Steam, and I know it's been in the top-selling list on there quite a bit since then, especially when it goes on sale.
It helps that it doesn't take a crazy rig, so lots of people with mid-tier laptops or whatnot can run it well too.
Considering it took RD1 over 5 years to sell over 15 million copies… yeah 24mil in less then a year cannot be seen as a failure. Who would consider that not a success?
I could see Switch getting some of their older remakes (III, VC, and SA) before any of the current titles.
While they didn't have proper cross platform they did have character transfers for GTA online. Led to me buying it for PS3/4 and PC. They've done a great job of updating their online portion with new content, but all the new shiny toys cost so much there is a ton of grind. I've enjoyed the 200 hours or so I've put in.
Those people are legit idiots
GTA V has made more money then every Sont exclusive combined this gen
Holy shit. Rockstar games just keep selling.
And people are trying to downplay RDR2 sales? Really? That game is gonna come to PC and (probably) next gen and gonna sell another whole bunch of units. It's sold almost as many units as GTAIV. And Mario Kart 8 including Deluxe. Game has only been out for six months.

It is weird how they compare it to Avatar for movies. But for Games they completely ignore the likes of WoW,SF2,Space Invaders,Lol ..etc.
This reads like a Trump tweet to me for some reason. Just an illogical...thing.
I'm not sure the sales are in favor of your argument there.
I mean they're not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but the legs are not there
SF2 and Space Invaders?
Most profitable game is Minecraft anyway. Little development costs and no marketing costs. Lol could be in the same realm and Fortnite maybe follow, if the game continues to be massive.
That's insane no wonder they don't need a

Switch can't run Dragon s Dogma DA at 720p it's gonna have trouble with GTA
GTAVI on next gen consoles will be absurd.
I can't even imagine what that budget or those graphics will look like..
Especially after the graphical powerhouse RDR2 was
The first native GTA ever to skip a console generation..think about that.
We will never know what a GTA native to PS4/XB1 looks like.

The appeal of GTAO has grown above and beyond what it set out to be initially. The popularity of the role playing in its PC community has all the more elevated it.
RDR2 will probably never reach those levels with its online, even when it comes to PC, I bet.

See the "Updated" part of the article.
And no those games made massive money , on barely any budget. Minecraft , while also insanely big. Is still not anywhere near Space invaders.
COD is not really anywhere close to being the highest grossing , Mainly because it is a yearly franchise so just using one title from it wont put it at the top.
Edit :
https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_video_games
Arcade were ridiculously lucrative back in the day , and it might be super hard to top those titles because of inflation.
Its kinda like how you keep seeing Avengers End game being the biggest movie ever everywhere , but nobody looks at the old stuff with inflation.
In that case profitable is wrong. The costs to operate arcades are huge. So when Space Invaders and Pac Man made over $10 billion on arcades, they surely don't have a 70% profit margin like Lol.
Edit: The article says highest selling and not most profitable.
Agreed on that. But it is really hard to estimate "profitability". Arcades didn't exactly need Servers up and running the whole day with Millions of concurrent users and secure money transactions.
Also while Arcades had huge running costs , it isn't fair to lump it all on just a single game. Each Arcade also had many other ways to generate revenue since it would have multiple cabs,food,drinks..etc
Edit :
Anyway my argument was for the original article from the post I quoted , which completely ignored Digital Titles like Wow and Arcade games like Space invaders. It literally only compared it to Retail games like COD.

GTA V will keeping selling until the next GTA.
RDR2 of course is a huge success,it is already the biggest game this gen.,but of course would never do GTAV numbers.

It's easy to deride the whole thing because of the shark cards, but the sandbox elements of the game are what makes it. It's beyond just a video game, it's a social tool at this point.
Seriously lol. Most devs wish their single player games sell half as much.
Where is my prequel DLC Rockstar? people clearly don't care for the online crap.
GTA has always appealed to everyone + it exploded on YT + a ton of people doubled or triple-dipped thanks to how Rockstar's managed the release.
6 months ago the game had sold 17 million copies. Is this sarcasm?
I can't even imagine how big GTAVI will be. If it doesn't launch with Online at launch, people would still play GTAVs online.
I wouldn't go that far just yet. PUBG had sold 50 million at last count (almost a year ago). It's the fifth best selling game ever.
GTAVI will 1000% include GTAO and it will 1000% launch 2 weeks to a month after GTAVI.
My sentiments exactly.
Thats great for RDR2, incredible game and still sold amazingly even with its poor online and niche setting. I expect it too hit 30 Mil once next gen ports+PC hit, and potentially if they do a large update once multiplayer leaves the beta and it becomes a better experience.
Both those games made more of an impact when they came out because they were completely unique at the time, also both catered to younger kids and people who had never touched a game in there lifes. Fortnite and Minecraft can be included too.
GTA is GTA. Its one of arguably the biggest brands in the world. But also its online released a while after the initial game. Everyone I knew was always talking about V when it came out.
Fortnite, Pokemon, and Minecraft also had more discussion around it because its contemporaries were copying it more. Whereas nowadays nobody could even attempt the scale a game like GTA and it's online would need.

How many? because millions upon millions of people clearly disagree with this
Yup, I don't think it was even possible to see someone that don't know about GTA even in the PS2 days.
