It is ported to 4 more systems than Wii sports, but it is impressive. Even for the highest budget game of all time.

People didn't really go out and buy Wii Sports though like they did GTA. Most of the numbers for Wii Sports are because it came with the system and the Wii was extremely popular.

A better comparison would be whatever the next game on the list is.

GTA V is pretty amazing though. I mean I understand if it just "isn't your game", but for what it sets out to do, it does best.

This. Those numbers are bogus, I hate that Nintendo keeps using them. They do the same shit with Super Mario World.

GTA story mode is pretty much the perfect video game.

Online is eh

But I'm not quite sure why the TC thinks this means anything lol Wii Sports comes with the Wii so it's not like people who bought Wiis CHOSE to buy Wii Sports as well.

Meanwhile GTA 5 is on like 4 systems lol

the only reason it might not is that RDR 2 won't come out the same year as a new console cycle, thus people like me buying multiple copies.

Also I think they played it well by holding back the PC release too. People with enough money to build a PC that could run it at 1920x1080@60fps probably already bought that shit twice unless they were PC only or pirates which don't affect their sales a whole lot considering most of the PC-only people I know just play shit like WoW or LoL or DoTa or Overwatch anyway.

on 5 if you count PC

but I remember them saying just the ps3/360 versions made over a billion dollars that first year it came out. It is one of those games that just about everyone I know has played if they fuck with video games at all.

I remember back in the day when Super Mario 3 was the top selling according to Gamepro. Now it is down there big time (I also don't think they were counting bundles like SMB1/Duck hunt and Wii Sports.

It's the one game that keeps popping up in steam's best selling games year after year and the price has stayed pretty high.

Forget fairness, it's just a unnecessary comparison.

Wii sports came with pretty much every Wii so the number is kinda meaningless. It was also bound to a single consoles so comparing it to a multi-plat game doesn't say much either.

It's apples and oranges tbh

Not at all. There have been thousands of multiplat games that haven't sold even a tenth of GTAV, so that's a poor excuse. Being bound to a single console is irrelevant when you consider the particular console it was sold on.

Wii Sports is one of the best selling games ever as a pack in, and GTAV is closing in on it as a standalone purchase. It's purely idiotic to act as if that is no special feat whatsoever, because it undeniably is.

Nobody said it isn't a special feat but it's not special because of how it compares to wii sports because that comparison is meaningless.

This, plus GTA is easily far more popular than any Nintendo game ever released

It won't even be close because it won't be sold on 5 different systems. I myself have 2 360 copies, 2 PS4 copies and a PC version of GTA5. 3 of those I bought new.
