Back in May this year Grand Theft Auto V crossed 80 million copies shipped. The only games that have officially moved more than that are Wii Sports (which came packed in with four out of every five Wii consoles ever sold whether you liked it or not), Minecraft (which needs no introduction these days but this is a decent summary), and Tetris (a 33-year-old game so ubiquitous people are apparently now finding it baked into the dashboard LCDs of Russian-made vans).
80 million is an astonishing number. It's hot on the heels of the combined sales total of GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, and 2008's GTA IV, which seems to sit at just over 80 million. Yep: it takes one-and-a-half generations of GTA games to top the staggering success of GTA V alone, a game that still consistently charts four years after release.
