Game barely gets a price cut.

Like, it should be $30 CAD, but it's always like $40+

Pretty insane.

Ironically it has been on sale the last week or two for $30 Canadian at Eb games lol I ended up picking up the Xbox One version (after getting ps3 version at release).

 

[Various Artists]

It is incredible considering it was not a pack in game.

 

[Blobbers]

I'm glad the sales throne belongs to the best game in one of the best franchises in gaming. Feels right.

 

[MatPiscatella]

If I'm getting this right, GTAV is the best-selling game in the US, but for other countries in the Americas (Canada, Mexico, Central/South America) is it not quite #1?

You're not getting this quite right.

The report that released yesterday was for the US market. No data or findings were released, discussed or implied for any other market.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Hopefully the next GTA is online only.

 

[Salvadora]

Kinda wonder whether we'll ever have a true GTA VI, or whether it will just be GTA Online shit fest microtransactions busted grinding crap. Rockstar has made so much money on GTA Online cash cards at so little relative expensive, and Take2 loves money and needs that money to stay afloat, I sort of wonder.

Benzies really drove GTA Online into fruition, so with him gone, who knows, maybe we will get the proper massive GTA VI single player story game. But... I'm hesitant. I haven't been pessimistic about a future GTA game, but GTA Online has really soured me to what's next in the series.

I think the answer is almost certainly yes.

After all, GTA online is built on the base GTA experience.

 

[UrbanRats]

GTAVI to be cross gen with a delayed PC release confirmed

Spoiler

Also barely any single player so they can focus more on GTAO2

You mean RDR2.

GTAVI will be cross gen too though, PS5 - PS6.

 

[Brandon F]

Bought it twice. One day I will actually play it...

 

[NullPointer]

Hopefully the next GTA is online only.

 

[Anth0ny]

Deserved.

 

[Ernest]

I'm still bitter that they scrapped plans for single-player DLC and focused on making money online content instead. So much of the map was left unexplored after I was done with the game - and I don't give two fucks about GTA online.

 

[Heavy_D206]

Hopefully the next GTA is online only.

You are going to give me Nightmares if that comes true.

 

[Skyr]

I bought it four times so I guess i did my part in that lol.
No regrets.

 

[SuperBanana]

This makes me sad because it's probably killed the GTA series as we know it and shaped it into something I don't want.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Why haven't they announced it for the switch!!?? More moneyyyy

 

[thechristoph]

Wow you're really not ashamed at all about showcasing how much you're affected by others enjoying something not made by your favourite corporation. It's almost cute.

Projecting much? He's just saying it'd sell even more copies if it was ported.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I never played it. Feels like the video game equivalent of not watching Titanic (or maybe Avatar) at this point.

I've never watched Titanic or played GTAV tbh. I'm going to do one of those eventually though.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

So its passed Wii Sports? That's getting close to the 90million mark. That is insane!!!

 

[kswiston]

Lol at skyrim not even close


Still havent bought gta v was hoping for a switch version, rockstar should just port it to break the record even greater

Skyrim is actually not that far off of MK Wii overall. Just not at retail.

 

[SargerusBR]

San Andreas got robbed

 

[BFIB]

Add on another 3 mil when the Switch port happens.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Ouch

Spoiler

I get it now.

 

[DrZeus]

And I still haven't bought it yet.

Me neither lol. Maybe black Friday.

 

[Ricky_R]

Can't wait for Agent.

 

[Blam]

It's seriously insane how much this game has sold.

 

[mnannola]

And everyone expected a PC version of Red Dead on the same day as console versions. Rockstar trying to figure out how to triple dip again.

 

[Obliterator]

It'll be interesting to watch Red Dead Redemption 2 performance. It obviously will never be anywhere near this but Rockstars brand had grown so much it will be cool to track how much bigger RDR2 is in comparison to the last game.

I honestly don't even think the eventual GTAVI will outsell GTAV

 

[El_Chino]

All that money and no Single Player DLC.

One of the greatest tragedies in gaming.

True that.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Long live the King.

 

[Strike]

GTA 6 is never coming out, is it?

 

[Gator86]

Best selling game of all time also kills franchise. Kind of amazing.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Just wait for Switch version and see how it outsells all other versions combined.

Man you gotta stop hating on Nintendo dude. Thats bad for your health. You always salty and sour

 

[Obliterator]

GTA 6 is never coming out, is it?

Sure one day. A long time from now. Red Dead Redemption 2 has taken their full attention for a long time now as well as the manpower needed to keep GTAV Online running strong.

I suspect GTA 6 is in some sort of pre-production but we won't see it for at least 4-5 years I don't think

 

[Trogdor1123]

Hopefully the next GTA is online only.

Huh?

 

[Jawbreaker]

It's a stunningly well-crafted open world game, so I'd say its sales are totally deserved. I never got into the online portion of it, but the single-player game is fantastic.

 

[jmizzal]

2nd best GTA game behind Vice city

I really hope they update the controls in GTA6, at least have control options, tapping A to run faster is not gonna cut it any more lol

 

[Netherscourge]

The performance on this thing has been utterly ridiculous for years and years now. We'll never see a behemoth like it again.

Skyrim can't be too far behind. It keeps popping up on new consoles.

 

[perfectchaos007]

You only play games if they are on Nintendo consoles?

Pretty much. I'm not a PC gamer either.

 

[entremet]

Man you gotta stop hating on Nintendo dude. Thats bad for your health. You always salty and sour

I think Guymelef is trying to be the next Drinky Crow, minus the funny part lol.

I kid, Guymelef.

 

[The_Dama]

I triple dipped #noshame

 

[AmyS]

So for 10 more years

Cross-gen on PS5 and PS6.

 

[Daffy Duck]

True that.

Yeah, it's so annoying.

 

[Welfare]

I remember getting very hyped for this back when it was originally a spring 2013 launch and knew the game would be massive when news hit that the game made back its entire budget on preorders alone, but this type of success I never could've imagined. Simply insane, but god damn it, at least the game is great enough to justify the success.

I haven't played since a little after the heists launched but I've always wanted to get back into it.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

I bought it on both PS3 and PS4, and have yet to play it. I should get on that someday.

 

[BasilZero]

And I still haven't bought it yet.

Same here

Planning to buy it on steam once I build my new PC

 

[MisterHero]

I double dipped but I'm still disappointed that you can only save a few vehicles in single player and you pretty much have to buy the big garages in GTAO.

 

[Muffdraul]

I don't think I've gone more than a month without playing it since it first released in Sept 2013. And I'm talking the single player, not online. Don't give two shits about GTA online.

 

[Fluffhead14]

only game i've ever bought twice. so worth it.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Played it through once and that was it.

I think despite all its faults San Andreas was better
