GTAV sells 90 million units. 15 million in 2017 alone

For the inevitable that ask:
Sold-in, not sold-through.
Still.. this is wild! 5 million in the past 3 months, too!

With the delay of RDR2 I'm pretty certain the game will reach 100m this year and not only in 2019.
But I'm more curious about the GTA VI performance. Could it do the same or even surpass V? Selling less would be easy, too as 100 million is not any low number.

the funny thing is that Activision spends three times as much on cod games every year since they are on a 3 year cycle. same with ubisoft with yearly ac games and EA with DICE battlefield/battlefront games.
Rockstar released one game 5 years ago and is selling ifnot outselling all these yearly franchises.

To put it in perspective, GTAV has sold 36% of the ENTIRE LTD sales figures of the Call of Duty franchise combined since it started in 2003.
I remember during the ps2 days where I kept laughing how long gta stayed in the top 10, yeah we beat that.
Even after nearly five years I can't think of a better built open world. It's astounding what Rockstar built and fair play to them they've kept the content coming without gouging their user base *side eye towards EA*
To be fair, Rockstar had about 1000 people on GTA V for five years, which adds up to a couple CoD teams concurrently.
They should use that money to bring back dem physics from GTA IV and you'd have a perfect GTA title.
IMO the far more impressive thing is, is GTA V STILL holds its value. It's rare to see it for less than 50% off.
So, we have the sold through numbers?
While Wii Sports got a bundle in the west, in Japan it was sold separately and in some Asian countries too so I think it sold at least 60 million in bundle.
GTA VI is gonna be massive unless it's complete shit. With the amount of marketing power and the word of mouth they have i wouldn't be surprised if it outsells GTAV.
If they're going to continue online updates probably not for a good while. It's making too much money, but maybe that means we'll get a completely new title.

Considering the time frame that Red Dead 2 is launching in combined with current GTAV sales I don't think GTAVI will be hitting current consoles no.
If it does it will be cross gen at launch as the next gen consoles will be out by then

More than 1 in every 3 PS4 / Xbox One owners own a current gen copy of GTAV
Edit - apologies for the back to back posts
And people didnt want GTA online. if it wasn't for that aspect, the game wouldn't even reach these high numbers.
Someone fell asleep during the credits.
To be fair though, Rockstar North has 360 employees as of 2013, so a lot of those will have been temps, contracts, people who left/were sacked and replaced or other R* teams helping out. It's not like the full credits worked on the game for the whole 5 years.
