What doesn't. It wasn't mass bundled. Like I said, it will be the best selling standalone game ever (subtracting the PS4/PS3 bundles included).

Does that include games like Minecraft?

And Tetris?

GTAV will be the best selling standalone videogame on home consoles. That isn't cherrypicked to death and that's all it was ever going to be.

Incredible feat.

You mean...multiple home consoles?

Yeah? Nobody ever said it was the best selling exclusive did they?

Once we start cherry picking, there'll be no fruit left on the tree.

How would you define GTAV's position then?

I knew there were still people that downplay it's position/record. Facts are facts. GTAV will sell the most standalone copies of a videogame on home consoles of all time (and beat all handheld games too).

I'm sorry...but the entire purpose of this thread is to downplay the amazing success of Wiisports.  That's what I'm taking exception with.  If there were a thread called "GTAV will be the greatest selling standalone title on home consoles"...sure...but this thread was a passive aggressive attempt to undermine the success and genius of one of the most unique gaming experiences that has been created.  I'm not taking anything away from GTAV...just giving credit where credit is due.  Also on that list of bundled titles...Super Mario Bros.  Don't tell me that game only sold because it was bundled.

If it wasn't including bundles, then 80m more would've sold



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

 We don't know what Wii Sports or Mario would have sold without bundles tho. This is a sales centric thread after all.
