I am also going to mention, Mario Kart Wii sold 35m WITHOUT any other versions other than ONE. :P

But GTAV would have sold a lot more on a single platform if it wasn't spreaded across four. So it's kind of a double-edged sword.

It wouldn't have sold as much as it did if it went to one platform though. Yeah it would've sold a lot, but not more.

You should said best selling not heavy bundled game

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Except that your statement automatically disqualifies 6+ million copies as the remaster wouldn't have been necessary if it was a one console item

I agree but GTAV on PS360 is still way up there for non heavily bundled game.

Wii sports was practically given for free. GTA V made good revenue and actually sold. GTA V numbers are more reliable.

If we are excluding massively bundled titles than it has been the best selling console game since it past Mario Kart Wii. Super Mario Bros was included with every nes sold in America. But then again if we start including PC and mobile minecraft is far ahead.
