According to VGC GTA franchise sold about 140m and Pokémon about 230m. Indeed, it isnt 5 to 1. Its closer to 2 to 1 (1.64 to be accurate).

Since their inception, sure. However, it's obvious that Pokemon peaked in its first generation, while Grand Theft Auto has never been bigger than it is right now. And GTA was massive during the PS2 era.

When you compare the two franchises over the last 10 years, or the last 15 years, they're much closer together. It's nowhere near a 2:1 split.
