The GTA series sold over 185 million units by May 2014 http://www.gamespot.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-series-sales-climb-to-185-million-units-how-many-do-you-own/1100-6419898/
Anyways sales of an entire IP doesn't indicate its popularity. Individual games do and that's where GTA outsells Pokemon. Any series can sell a lot with annual releases. |
We are going to disagree on that subject than, because i don't see how individual sales would reflect the popularity of the whole IP. Both games are subjected to different business model/cycles.
GTA sells a lot more when it does releases exactly because of its bigger cycle, that creates a lot of hype and . Selling over 10M every year is also a lot and it does shows the strength of the Pokemon IP. And no, it is not "any series" that can do that.
Likewise, i would say that COD is more popular than both, even if it also loses to GTA in the years they release together. Selling 20M+ every year compensates for that.
