NPD measures total revenue earned from a title, including all MTX spending.
People aren't buying GTA a lot anymore, but the people who are still playing GTA online are spending huge amounts of money on MTX.
GTA's economy is one of the most grindy around. It's like 2 million dollars the high end cars and you earn like 20K for doing missions.

What did he say? I don’t visit his channel because I feel like that dude is always complaining and crying about everything, sucks the soul out of life really.
Because they don't care about older titles, most of the people who worked on them are no longer at Rockstar North, it's all about GTA Online baby.
You would figure that they could buy some good will and if all the original songs were there they might even get some sales on PSN. GTA IV is on X Box as well.

It might even be ready for PS8 launch.
They could also easily port GTA3, VC and San Andreas (and Bully) to Switch too but they don't, they don't care about good will or small sales from older games when GTA Online earns enough revenue to compete with new game releases every damn week.

It does?
True. To me Rockstar has been more disrespectful towards the GTA franchise than ND ever was towards TLOU. At least we won't get a patch years down the road that removes stuff from their games that was their upon launch.

NPD Group: The Last Of Us 2 "Instantly" becomes third best selling game of 2020!
Also It's important to note that TLOU2 only had 16 days tracking on NPD. Games that make you grip the controller tight will do these kind of numbers, right?

To be very specific. NPD can track total dollar sales. It depends on the publisher. For Instance Blizzard and Nintendo do not report any digital sales what so ever for their games. It's all down to the publisher. I'm not sure even Sony reports digital spending, if memory serves, they don't.
For the ones that do report all digital spending, the specific MTX numbers are not divulged to the public. They just lump them into a total dollars figure.
There is also the weird caveat with GTA V specifically that buying Shark Cards is often cheaper when you buy it as a bundle with the game. Often digital store fronts will put the shark card/GTA bundles on sale, but Rockstar keep the price of individual Shark Cards the same within the game, so it makes sense to just buy the bundle and just use the Shark Card code that comes with the bundle.
NPD is kind of a mess when trying to figure out where all the money is going but they are getting better. It's just that a lot of big publishers don't fully participate probably because they don't want the public to know how much money they are making from MTX.
