GTA V should sell about 22-25 million by January 1st 2014. The 3DS may have sold about 40-45 million consoles so a single game would need an attach ratio of over 50% and would also have to release early in the year to outsell GTA V. There's no point in even listing any Wii U games because the install base is so low due it just releasing.
It may seem like 25 million for a game is too large but there is no denying how huge and hot this franchise is. You might also be thinking that GTA 4 only sold about 20 million and that's after a couple of years and good support with DLC. The reason I believe that GTA 5 will be this big is due to so many things that we know are just going to go right. The game will be great, the gameplay will be great, the graphics, the community, the word of mouth, the storyline, the online aspect, the fact that it takes place in San Andreas, flying jets, jetpacks, large landscapes, helicopters, the missions, the extras, the amount of content in this game will be just awesome. This is what makes GTA...GTA. This series always releases to well respected fan-fare.
Hell, I'm already looking forward to the DLC's, but in the meantime I'm just gonna enjoy my hot coffee.
