When it comes to full-priced games, Grand Theft Auto V is the biggest monster in the industry. There really isn't anything close to it either. It sold over 145 million units and is the most successful entertainment product ever made in terms of money earned from a single product.
This incredible success is spread over multiple platforms:
Playstation 3
Xbox 360
Playstation 4
Xbox One
and PC
I can't really think of anything in games reaching something similar at full price, apart from Mario Kart. Mario Kart 8 has sold 38 million on one platform (it sold another 8 million on the Wii U) and is a cultural phenomenon, and with a high-end version on the PS4 for example, I could see it pushing another 20 million on that console easy. It's the perfect casual game and appeals to virtually everyone. Combine that with the potential sales on all the platforms over 8 years, it could likely cross 100 million units sold perfectly fine.
Do you think it potentially could have reached something close to 145 million? is there any other console or PC exclusive that that could be capable of matching GTA at full price if it was featured on all platforms?
