Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V.

The NPD Group: Grand Theft Auto V is the best-selling game in the U.S. since it’s been tracking

Rockstar knew what it was doing when it made Grand Theft Auto V’s logo look like cash.

Mat Piscatella, an analyst at market research firm The NPD Group, revealed in a tweet today that Grand Theft Auto V is the best-selling game in the U.S. since it began tracking such data in 1995. This is based on revenues, not copies sold. Total sales for this open-world shooter passed 80 million worldwide in April.
