If they surpass FF sales, SMFFFC should become SMFGTAVC

I don't know a single person who owns GTA V. Who are these 164 million (presumably) different people?

And how does Skyrim, which has been on literally every platform ever, have under a fifth of that number?

Wasn't GTA5 bundled with a lot of consoles so it kinda gets Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt'd?

I've heard that buying new copies of GTA5 can get you more currency than buying in-game currency with the amount the game costs, so some people just buy more copies to get more in-game money.

I got GTA5 free from the Epic Store. I imagine there's quite a few people who got it that way.

Still haven't played it yet...

Yeah this has a huge amount of double dips due to different platforms but mainly people buying extra copies to get the shark cards. When we were talking about the Activision purchase somebody asked why would you want to stop making a ~20 million seller each year to focus on a live-service game, THIS is why.

That equates to 1 copy of GTA5 for every 48 people on earth.

Staggering.
