GTAV sold 1.81M in Japan as of August 2023. Salnax made a post of most sold Western games in Japan back in Nov 4 2020. GTA V was #6 on that list.
"Breakdown
- PS3: 880,877 retail + 2,519 digital
- PS4: 774,453 retail + 115,749 digital
- PS5: 1,551 retail
- X360: 33,894 retail"
So I expect GTA VI to sell near 2M in Japan for its lifetime.
2M is huge for a Western game, but compared to what Nintendo brings to the table nowadays it is child's play.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 160 million (was 120 million, then 140 million, then 150 million)
PS5: 130 million (was 124 million)
Xbox Series X/S: 54 million (was 60 million, then 57 million)
