what are the signs though? lol. this is where i am confused. i must be missing something. 

The latest launch trailer from GTA VI has passed 66M views in just 11 days. That's more views than GoW Laufey, Call of Duty, Pokemon Wind and Waves, Ocarina of Time, and Fable combined in less than two weeks. 

The advertising spots it has also puts it beyond other products. What other game would be able to justify a Netflix drop? What other game would be popular enough that the Miami Heat decided to do a Vice City theme night? Rockstar got away with locking single player content behind the ultimate edition, and that ultimate edition happens to be the best selling game since pre orders opened up.

yeah. those are all very good points. this is basically what i was wondering. had no idea that miami heat dedicated a night to gta lol my goodness man.
