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

Just wanna add. I bought GTA5 on the 360, PS3 for online and then PS4 for the upgrade. I think many people done the same as me and many as well bought on PC for mods as well as upgrading on the 9th gen. But mostly people and their shark cards, that's where the money will come in from and bundles with shark cards bumping sales. 

i got gta 5 used on ps4 and ive never played it. i platinum'd gta 4 on ps3 though. it was fun. 

im just still skeptical about all this. i cant really pinpoint it. something just tells me its going to underperform. 

It's going to do better than RDR2 at least but underperform in this context is a really weird way to put it. It doesn't need triple dips and GTA5 numbers to make billions, it just needs the same dedicated online base and online grind to drive shark cards. I know what you are feeling cauese I felt it too, a bland experience it would seem and the economy is weird but It could be a complete dud in story and still succeed as a sandbox online, add in grind with good mechanics and it's gonna make billions. 

Not that it needs online either. RDR2 made billions with very little online activity. GtA6 is at half a billion in preorders already.
