It will pass Super Mario Bros soon. I guess if you count Wii Sports it won't be the best selling game ever but honestly I don't count a game that's bundled with every console for so long and SMB was bundled with a lot but I'll still allow it for argument's sake


I personally don't count a game that launches on multiple consoles beating a game that's exlusive to one console as a fair comparison.


I personally don't count a game that recieved more than half of It's sales from bundles as a fair comparison. That includes both Wii Sports and SMB.

Why not? Bundling with console is just marketing strategy.



Most Anticipated Games on Wii U

Super Smash Bros. Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon, Zelda Wii U, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, 3D Metroid game, another 3D Mario game.

I'm not the biggest fan of this particular GTA game, but it's kinda good to see that it did so well!

Yeah, it's probably broken a bunch of records. Probably the game with the most profits of all time or something!

There should be still games with much higher profits. WoW and so on...

Best Muliplat selling game right? Such great sales.

Will be over 40mil by years end. Damn.

They really did an amazing job with this game. The release time was good so it sold a lot on last gen and the game has actually been dumbed down, it seems now, so it will looks good on the next gen consoles too which will make it sell very good as well. I wouldn't be surprised if all versions manage 50M by the time GTA VI rolls around!!


Look at the legs, If this weren't coming to PS4/X1 i think 45mil would be possible. 50mil is definitely possible and should happen lifetime. Crazy Sales. Mario Kart 35mil+ (Best Selling on a single Console) and GTA5 50mil+ (Multiplat that is going to be the highest selling game of all time excluding Wii Sports) is just insane. Years ago, if somebody said these type of sales would happen, you'd look delusional XD.

Also to Note, Are these the best selling games on X360+PS3 individually? Thats anther achievement. X360 best game excluding Kinect Sports is COD (i think best one was 15mil) and PS3 was also a COD (or was it Gran Turismo 5?)

Minecraft will become the best selling game of all time, though.

I'm sure a few PC games have made more (like LoL, Dota 2)

okay i see 40m sipped including "next" gen version next year

maybe 40m+ sold through lifetime will be reached



Munkeh111 on 06 August 2014

So 50m all in?

I'm not so sure, though it remains to be seen how big a focus GTA Online is going forward which might delay the launch of another brand new SP game

But I'll probably be one of those 32m rebuying, maybe even twice when it's under £5 on Steam
