Honestly I think GTA's sales are a bit overstated as a whole.

If Nintendo put Mario Kart 8's "on sale" for $10 every second month (and dropped full price to like $30) and just kept selling it for 10 more years, I'm sure they could sell over 100 million units even just on Switch platforms alone. 

This board did this whole song and dance when people were claiming GTAIV launching on 360/PS3 would kill the Wii ... it didn't do anything to the Wii at all. Nintendo's success of lack thereof has nothing to do with GTA. 

GTAV did not really grow the PS4/XB1 over the PS3/360. 

If given a choice I'd rather have yearly COD + Madden NFL releases on the regular than GTA6, I think those help Nintendo more overall. 

360/ps3 killed the wii though in terms of sales they sold like 180 million combined vs 100 million for the wii lol. As for mario kart 8 who knows, maybe they should drop the price. As of now some estimates have gtav has the most profitable piece entertainment ever.
