I'm more than sure that GTA 5 will be pretty close if not over 55m, ps360 versions alone could reach 40m(since they already should be somewhere about 35), ps4 - 8m+, x1-5m+, pc - 3m+, at the very least. |
Grand Theft Auto 5 is at 32mil sales according to vgchartz. It's very unlikely it is going to reach 40mil on current gen consoles. Their sales started out really strong but their current sales are currently no better than a typical call of duty in its first July.
AndI don't think next gen sales are not going to be anywhere near your prediction. Heck the ps3/360 versions of Grand Theft Auto 4 didnt sell much more than 8mil each. And those weren't just hd ports. This is a game everyone who is an early next gen adopter already owns.
Sales of the ps4 version will be lower than watch dogs sales and sales of the xbox one version will be lower than titanfall sales. The PC version could potentially be pretty big, but only because there is probably a sizeable chunk of PC only gamers who haven't got to experience the game yet.
To be fair it will get somewhat close, but I still think it will end up a good 10mil short of 55mil. What I should have said is no soon to be released game will be able to sell that well because no new game will be able to sell anywhere near 35mil on the ps3/360 anymore.
Maybe if by some miracle the ps4/xboxone become as popular as the 360 and ps3 ended up becoming it could happen with a cross gen game 8 years from now.
