That should read bundled and digital game as in singular because the only examples are Wii Sports and Minecraft. Additionally, GTAV has only been out for 15 months so there's still a lot more to go (although I doubt it will challenge either in the long run). The amount of downplaying in this thread is absolutely hilarious.

Oh, you mean the bundled ones?

Well Super Mario Bros and Wii Sports are beating it, both only on one console, and NES sold lower than PS3 and 360. Don't care if they were packaged, not like they were everywhere or forever, and they still sold a shitload on their own

They were for almost the entire generation of the system. Basically, there was no way to buy those systems without getting those games. Plus, those brands are dead compared to GTA now.

You can't just assume that every single Mario game was bundled. Make up your mind, was every wii sports game bundled, or every mario kart wii game bundled? 

It doesn't matter if it was bundled or not, the game still sold. The only reason you are allowed to get away with the Wii Sports argument was because that one was mass bundled. I don't even know if you are serious right now. 

Ok. Wii Sports and Super Mario Bros are the highest given away games. Better?

deserved? that franchise sells because of marketing.

And I don't see the point of the OP comparing GTA 5 with any game on a single platform. after all, GTA 5 released on 4 platforms with a combined base of nearly 200 millions.

What? Wii, WiiU, DS and 3DS sell the game digital.

Hey, man. It's bundled with every console so you have no choice but to own it, just like Wii Sports was. So, clearly, it was the motivation for buying the console (as opposed to, you know, buying a console because you know games will come to it in the future because console ownership is an investment). I mean, sure, there will be tons of other games to persuade you to get a PS4 2 or 3 years down the line, but those don't matter. The Playroom will still be the game that makes you buy a PS4, and without it, none of those other games matter (Wii Sports was bundled for like 3 years, yet you guys are still saying it is the reason people bought a Wii and they otherwise wouldn't have bought a Wii without that game. Never for Smash, MK, Mario, or the Wii's library in general. Just Wii Sports). Don't try and knock the game because it's "sold" 18.5 million so far and is only gonna go up from here.
