Anyone have any idea how much GTA5 boosted ps3/360 sales in September 2013 if at all?

Yep, they got up by 2.5 times in the week GTA 5 launched, with almost getting to their previous levels in the following weeks, and then quickly got up again by the holiday boost by november. Monthly wise, they just doubled their sales in september compared to the previous months that year.

That shows the power of GTA then. I suppose some customers thought it was worth getting cheaper on the way out consoles instead of buying the about to release ones and hoping GTA V would get a port.

PS4 never had backwards compatibility, Xbox One didn't get it until 2015. And of course, the ports of GTA V took until later 2014. Not to mention Xbox One was $499.99 USD with disastrous word of mouth about the removed features like online check-ins and used game debacle and such nearing launch. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
