You guys also understand you can purchase digital download game cards at retail right?

Then why would OP even bother mentioning GTA PC sales? Just sounds like a thread to say "so and so is top of you exclude this, this, that and these."

I guess this is the usual "PC doesn't count" threads.

No biggie.

Maybe he think it'll sell something at retail form? Dunno.

But seems like slarvax pointed it still didn't surpassed SMB. Still have to check it though.

Rockstar announced 45M GTA sales. Those include digital.

I am sure OP's numbers factor them in as well, since in February they announced 45M and in January this thread showed 43m+. So he wants to exclude digital then he needs to be consistent.

Well, I could be still on the low side. I didn't include the collections (Super Mario All Stars SNES and Wii) cause those were diferent games, and I'm not sure if the GB one I got was SMB Deluxe or not.

But if the numbers I got are right, then it has more than likely surpassed SMB.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

You really don't think it sold over 43m physical copies? It sold 30m on the GB alone. The game has been rereleased a million times.

No I don't think so! The original Tetris only released as a Retail on NES and GB.

If you're counting GTAV for PS4 and XBO, then why wouldn't remakes/upgrades of Tetris count?

According to OP rules a, b, c and d which benefit GTA, it is the best selling ever.

Thats usually what these threads are. Not sure why I joined in.

54m for Minecraft as of June 2014.

Its easily well over 60m now.

That's considering digital, GTA 45M is Retail only, we dunno the total numbers, and the thread has Retail in its title.

and still wrong, because Wii Sports > GTA V. And... end
