Topic: GTAV sets all time one day sales record.

Yes, it's because Nintendo is guzzling Rockstar's cock that GTAV isn't on Wii U. *rolls eyes*

So they've shipped 45 million copies and the PC version isn't even out yet. Should be the all time best selling game (that isn't Tetris or Wii Sports...or Minecraft) by the end of the year.

So...it's not going to be the best selling game of all time then.

It is, if you ignore all the other games that sold more than it.

[Shaymin]

If you need more than two qualifiers it's not a record.

So "best selling non-packin, 'complete', M-rated game of all time" shouldn't count. ("Complete" because the online was a s**tshow for a year+)

I didn't realize Minecraft was so high up when I was typing that. That makes me sad.

I don't think it's the highest on a single platform either, but still, that's an insane number. I wonder what they'll do with GTA VI and if it has any chance of topping these sales.

I think it all depends on when they release it and what consoles it is released upon.  I'm guessing it's still about 3-4 years away from releasing and by that time, they will only want to release it on PS4/XB1/PC.  It'll likely sell less than V.

I've started a data twice in GTAV. The second time was because it was so long since I had played and forgotten all the controls. I can never get far. I think it's not the game and just me knowing that GTAV is a huge time commitment that can be spent playing other games. I LOVE the world, though, and I'd love to have a lot of time to explore it!
