One of the most successful titles in recent years has been ‘Grand Theft Auto V’. There are many times that we have highlighted the immense number of units that have been acquired throughout the world of the great Rockstar game and it is not for less, because the MarketWatch medium indicates that since 2013 more than 90 million have been sold to date units .
It has only taken him five years to get the whopping figure, but that data stands out even more after pointing out the document that Take-Two Interactive has managed to raise more than six billion dollars just with this installment of the saga. This means that it has raised more money than big movies like ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Gone with the Wind’, which generated almost four billion dollars, or ‘Avatar’ with 2.8 billion dollars.
In summary, this record has meant that ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ has been proclaimed as the entertainment product that has generated the most money of all time , above any movie, album or other game. On the other hand, this report highlights that the Mario franchise has sold more units in total, but speaking of individual games none has managed to come close to the numbers of ‘GTA V’.
With respect to other installments of the saga , ‘Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’ is the one that occupies the second position of the series with 27.5 million units, followed by’ Grand Theft Auto IV ‘with 25 million,’ Grand Theft Auto: Vice City ‘with 20 million and’ Grand Theft Auto III ‘with 17.5 million.
It should be noted that the 90 million units of ‘GTA V’ correspond to the five versions that are for sale . As a percentage, the most demanded has been PS3 with 32.8%, then PS4 with 27.4%, then Xbox 360 with 25.5%, followed by Xbox One with 12 , 2% and finally that of PC with 2.1%.
Without a doubt, what Rockstar has achieved with this installment of the saga is worthy of praise. Will ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ get closer to these heart attack records or a future ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’? Time will tell, but at the moment ‘GTA V’ is the sixth best-selling game in the United States so far this year and the third in Europe , so starting from this base it would not be surprising that we continue talking about it for a few how many more years.
