Does the games industry still need GTA?

The games industry needs Grand Theft Auto because it has been a successful series selling millions of copies all over the world and it has provided jobs for game developers. The 3rd GTA title sold well over 14.5 million copies and was the first GTA game to feature 3D graphics with an open world action-adventure playstyle. GTA IV went on to sell more than 25 million copies since it's release in 2008.

The most recent title: GTA V has been labelled as being the most eagerly-anticipated video game and it has exceeded sales of more than $800 million USD. It has been reported that the game could sell well up to 25 million copies in the first year alone, generating £1 billion.

The GTA series has sold well over 135 million copies since the very first release back in 1997. The sales figures suggests that the popularity of the GTA series is increasing with each new release and there is a growing market for these games.
