GTA 5 is the best selling game of the past 22 years

NPD Group analyst Mat Piscatella has stated in a tweet that GTA 5 is the best selling game since founding its market research company in 1995. Rockstar Games sold over 80 million sold copies.

When Grand Theft Auto 5 was released exclusively for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 back in September 2013, it was soon apparent that the gangster game from Rockstar Games was bound to set some records. The  title was able to generate 1 billion US dollars in sales within a few days. Later onwards releases of the Playstation 4 and Xbox, and PC version followed as well.

Mat Piscatella, the market researcher of the NPD Group, has stated in a tweet that Grand Theft Auto 5 is the best selling game of the last 22 years, that's basically because the market research agency was founded in 1995. Hence best selling title eveah? Meanwhile Piscatelle has deleted the tweet.

80 million sold copies go to the account of Rockstar Games for GTA 5. This number is based on distribution over all published platforms. An important factor for the sales probably is also the online mode, which is constantly supplied with new content and thus continues to attract new players. Thinking about this, actually I think minecraft sold more copies?
