Biggest favorite for GOTY 2013 by far.

Release in April, exactly five years after GTA IV. Could get nearly 20 million lifetime sales.

Easily more. 20m in 2013 alone.

You serious? GTA IV still hasn't reached 20 million on PS360 despite getting lots of steady sales for years and years, which GTA V won't have the benefit of since it's coming out very late in a generation.

Are you counting on Wii U sales?

GTAIV had shipped 22m last year and we'll see a large jump this time around since this is the kind of game that sells better and better as the console base it's selling to gets bigger.

No, I'm counting on PS3,360,PC sales.

Interesting. Yeah, I agree that it's that type of game that certainly benefits from a large install base. Let's see, what kind of attach rate would that demand, to reach 20 mill in 2013 on PS360... not that it matters much but it's always a funny stat. PS360 installed base will be around 165 million by end of 2013, so 20 million copies sold by then would give us a 12% attach ratio.
