GTA V sales startegy was handled perfectly. First you release the "lesser" versions of the game on a 160M+ userbase. Then a year later you release improved versions with additional content on more powerful consoles with a 30M+ userbase. Then 6 months later you release the definitive version on PC. Most people who have it on PS4/X1 also had the PS3/X360 version so Rockstar were able to sell two different versions of GTA V to the same people, maybe in some cases 3 versions (PC).
Having said that I'd say GTA VI might do it, but I wouldn't bet on it. It will be very difficult to sell the same amount of combined copies as GTA V did. First GTA VI probably won't be released only in the final period of this gen's lifecycle (but then again, that depends on how long this gen's gonna be). And second I don't think that there will be a 160M+ installed userbase for PS4+X1 this gen.
So answering to OP's question I'd go with a big fat no, but really who knows for sure?
