Why do people think gta6 is going to sell a billion copies?

IMO the game will sell 25-35 million by the end of the calendar year, and then as discounts come and years of copies sold accumulate, it’ll hit 200M LTD. I don’t see it ever topping GTAV especially not with hardware sales likely shrinking over the next gen.

Beating lifetime sales of gta5 would require it to get released across many console generations, and the future of gaming and how console life cycles will look from here on out is uncertain. So achieving that seems like a very, very slim possibility.
