GTA V beats Wii Sports, becomes most popular game ever

GameSpot writes Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V is now the most popular video game in history. Publisher Take-Two revealed sales have surpassed the 85 million mark, up from 80 million in May 2017. It's impressive how strong the game is still selling, considering it was first launched in September 2013.

The news means Wii Sports is no longer the all-time best selling video game. Although that's probably not a fair comparison as Wii Sports was a pack-in game for the Wii:
Take-Two says GTA V is now the "all-time best-selling video game" ever in the US, based on revenue and units sold, across digital and physical platforms. The game has now surpassed Wii Sports, which sold 82.83 million units worldwide. Notably, Wii Sports was a pack-in game for the Wii, while GTA V is and has been sold on its own.
