Because people are on dope. Kidding.

GTA5 does nothing the best, but it does everything well enough, except for flying which is probably the worst I've experienced in any open world game. Maybe because of this and that people don't see a new GTA every few years that sales are higher.

Also, what I think is a major reason of the high amount of sales is my theory on Rockstar holding back the online to attack used games. Sales could also be as high as they are because the first two weeks no one was selling their copy of the game, so people who wanted to buy it used had to either not buy the game or buy the new copy. Even during the time the online wasn't working, a lot of people still gave it the benefit of the doubt so add more time to that two weeks where there's less used copies available.
