And GTA V has sold more on PS3 and Xbox 360 each than Pokemon games have sold this gen on one platform, despite consumers also buying it on other platforms and that eating the sales on these platforms.

GTA V also costs $60 while Pokemon is $40.

I think you are confused here.....Because GTA V has sold more than Pokemon this gen it doesn't make it BIGGER than Pokemon....Pokemon goes FAR beyond video game sales and I think that is where you are missing the mark.  When you have the games, shows, movies, toys, clothing etc WORLDWIDE GTA is not even CLOSE to Pokemon hence the reason Pokemon is a CULTURAL PHENOMENON while GTA is just popular.

GTA is a cultural phenmenon in how it changed the way people look at games, gamers and non gamers alike. Its popular among both groups, and it hasn't just outsold Pokemon since this gen, but since sixth gen. Its become even bigger this gen but it was more popular than Pokemon games since GTA 3.

Pokemon is a very popular anime series but overall it is comparable to what GTA is in gaming.
