Well, yeah, it's pretty much a no-brainer:

First, Nintendo won't have any of its heavy-hitters until the holiday; GTAV comes out during second quarter.

Second, GTAV is on two consoles (plus PC soon after), whereas Nintendo's games are only on one.

Mario Kart Wii came out two years after launch, so the Wii had a much larger install base than WiiU will have this year. Meanwhile, PS3 and 360 install bases have grown even more since then.

Any game includes 3DS games which has the hardware to support a 10+ million game

The 3DS install base still can't compete with the PS3+360s.

Also, why limit this prediction to just Nintendo?  Like tbone said, this is true for all other games as well, save perhaps for the new COD.

Even pokemon wouldn't beat GTAV. Heck Modern Warfare 3 on just the 360 is ahead of Pokemon Black and White. No individual game nintendo can possibly release this year has a shot of outselling GTAV, at least for the year. Not Mario Kart U or a new 3ds mainline Pokemon game. Not even both combined. The install base for the new consoles isn't there yet.

As for every nintendo game. Yes it can outsell every nintendo published game combined unless nintendo has some crazy bundles in the upcoming holidays.

Exactly unless he doesn't believe any game will beat it except NINTENDO then put all Companys in it! Sucks because Halo 4 and Animal Crossing could of had a chance if released now!



oh lol, from the thread title I thought you were saying it would outsell all Nintendo games combined!

But yes, it's very likely that GTA5 will be one of the best-selling games this year, especially when you're combining sales across multiple consoles. There don't seem to be any Nintendo games that are likely to sell over 10 million units this year, although Wii Fit U could come close depending on how well it is received. NSMB2 is also a game that could sell very well, and we don't know what else Nintendo has planned for this year -- could a 3DS Pokémon game be a possibility?



Correct, this ain't 2008 no mo.

You should have added "combined" in the title just to make it more spicy.

Uh maybe Vita only but all other systems alone will have more than GTA5 COMBINED!
