Not quite. A lot of the people purchasing Grand Theft Auto V are new console buyers. GTA V sales strongly correlate to sales of new consoles. 

It's the #1 purchase for new PS4 and XB1 buyers this gen and the Online component is still very popular as reflected by Take Two's quarterly earnings. 

Wouldn't you say a lot of these new PS4/XB1 owners are people who also owned the game on PS3/360?

Sure. But a good chunk are also new buyers. 

We're getting to the point where the next gen verions (PS4/XB1/PC) are selling more than the last gen versions which is crazy.
