Grand Theft Auto 5 now more profitable in media history.

Grand Theft Auto has been one of the major players in games media for years, at least since GTAIII in 2001 brought the series to 3D and into the mainstream attention. It’s now estimated by Marketwatch that the originally released in 2013 Grand Theft Auto V has sold 90 Million units and raked in roughly $6 Billion dollars worth of revenue for Rockstar.

While some of the data cited by Marketwatch is suspect, such as the platform breakdown which uses VGChartz as a source, the rest of the data comes from more solid sources and can likely be taken at face value. What does this mean? Well this means that not only has GTAV vastly outsold the closest competition in gaming, but that GTAV is the single most profitable piece of entertainment ever created.

The highest grossing movie of all time, Avatar comes up pretty far short of Rockstar’s opus with a pride shrinking $2.8 Billion dollars. Grand Theft Auto V has also seen stock in the company rise nearly 1000% since release.

and we all know who's responsible for the success of GTA V:

And Still the online is shit.

And it's a game that I never want to pick up again. Like it's a excellently made game but Rockstar just keep on making their games not as fun to play as previous iterations.

You know, I recognize how much money there is to be made off GTA Online, but I just don't have the slightest bit of interest in and it's kind of scaring me off RDR 2 because I know it's going to have all the same problems at GTA 5 to accomnodate it.

Like, all the effort into the ridiculous, Saints Row like crap in online and they can't bother to do an Episode from Los Santos is astounding.

It's really frustrating because a smaller DLC expansion pack would still do gangbusters even if it is only on the current gen stuff.

The On line for GTA 5 is pretty fun but incomplete. If you're not playing with friends fun quests like Heists are useless. The load times are HORRIBLE and theres a lot of filler.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Can we just move on from online and do VI?

Just give us the Online weapons and cars, and heists, and it would be huge. I'd reinstall GTA V on my PS4 for it.

could have made a billion more if they'd have bothered doing something with the prison

[Push R Truth]

I find it so fascinating that it's made so much money and there's so many obvious issues that would increase it's profits. Makes you understand the impossibly massive market that genre has.

And y’all still couldn’t make another single player campaign as DLC tho

Or the casino and horse track.

The next one needs to have more properties and businesses to buy.

Like, I wanna adjust the menu at Hookies, not deal with angry bikers every twenty minutes!

That's pretty impressive considering how much this game had to have cost to make.

It's not really considering that multiplayer is the very image of a P2W economy where you either buy shark cards or spend an eternity grinding just to buy one interesting thing. New item prices are also increasing but mission payouts are still as low as ever.

Honestly if Rockstar created a new spin off franchise called "Grand Property and Business Owner" it would be a success.
