If we're not counting Wii _, I'm going to say either Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty. Probably CoD, since they pump out a game every year.

 

 Oh, Call of Duty is definitely bigger than Grand Theft Auto.

GTA should pump out a ~ 15M more this gen (that's 1 handheld and 1 console. Could possibly be as high as 25M, but I severely doubt that). That puts it on 40-50M.

Call of Duty should be at 40M with just Modern Warfare 2, and as CoD is being released very oftenly, I believe that the following ones should put it over 50M.

I have no doubt that if a GTA was released as often as a Call of Duty, GTA would win.

But it isn't.
