The wii stuff, Pokemon, if you consider it to be Nintendo. Just do a blank search on VGChartz, and look at a couple of the top games.

Yeah, the closest they have is less than half GTAV's sales. And that was during the casual era which they weren't able to re-capture with the WiiU or 3DS. The closest is a Pokemon game pair at roughly 16M.

24 out of the 30 best selling games of all time are Nintendo games. 5 of the 6 others are GTA games.

Nintendo will probably never make a game that can outsell GTA 5 (since they're tied to only one console), but they still have better chances to do it than anyone else.

By the way, the best selling Nintendo game is at 82.5 million, which is just as much as GTA 5.
