Grand Theft Auto V is now the best selling game of all-time in terms of revenue and tracked unit sales. That's according to the NPD Group's August analysis for video game sales in 2017. Not only is that incredibly impressive, but it proves just how strong GTAV is almost four years after the game initially came out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles.

According to the NPD Group's monthly sales reports, Grand Theft Auto V was the second best selling game in the month of August, behind Madden NFL 18. But it's important to know that Madden 18 came out that month, while GTA V's been on the market since 2013 in one form or another. GTA Online in particular has proven to be a huge boon for the comapny. It should be noted that digital sales for games like PUBG aren't accounted for in the NPD Group's listings.

Grand Theft Auto V beat other new titles that month too including Uncharted: The Lost Legacy which also came out that month to third place.

"Grand Theft Auto V has now been on the market 49 months and has achieved 41 Top 10 chart appearances, 16 more times than any other single title in reported history," wrote NPD's Mat Piscatella. "In addition, Grand Theft Auto V is the all-time best-selling game by both revenue and units in tracked sales across PC, console, and portable with digital and packaged combined."

For hardware, the Nintendo Switch was the best selling console in August, but the success of the Switch for hardware sales were offset by the decline in sales for the Xbox One and Legacy platforms.
