Even if they got say only 25% of it, that's roughly $435,000,000... Fuck Me!

How can you count a free pack-in title as copies 'sold'?

Orbis and PC are mentioned in the coding. I expect a next gen release. I'll grab it on PC and Xbone if possible. Don't mind triple dipping at all.
GTA games have long tail. Put this on PC, PS4 and Xbone and it can potentially make it.

Okay then Super Mario Bros with 40 million copies sold.

I don't know if that counts since it was bundled.
Unbundled it's Mario Kart Wii @ ~35 million.
Also was bundled.
long-tail sales for the next decade, while console sales are currently plummeting due to the used market.
Releasing a game on the PC is essentially an annuity at this point.

Wouldn't minesweeper win anyways?
It's a game, it's packed in like nobody's business but no one cares about that
It is well deserved honestly. They really turned it around after the disappointment of GTA IV, introduced some new mechanics to the series (multi-character switching on the fly, Max Payne shooting, character-specific activation abilities, improved mission structure), and returned it to the varied environment similar to San Andreas.
It's not all roses for sure as the online needs work and the single player game could use more things for the player to do once the story is complete, but overall, well done game.

Yes, no CoD has gotten this far, they usually do 20-25 million since MW
Reckon GTA5 can go to 35 million without even counting PC+Bone+4 versions
There are claims that many people essentially bought that game for 200 dollars (only bought the Wii with Sports and no other Wii game) so I would argue that it counts.
And I don't know about SMB but SNES sold too little for SMW to be above Wii Sports.

Nope.
Neither console sold as well.
NES ended at around 65 million units and SNES at much lower.

It already overtook GTA IV's lifetime sales... in less than two months.

Well deserved sales

It's arguably inappropriate to count Wii Sports since it was a system tie-in (same as Super Mario Bros).
UPDATE: Drat, beaten to the punch...
Still doesn't count IMO if the console itself included the game throughout the entire generation.
What would Wii-Sports have honestly sold if it was not included in every Wii?

Heh, you don't seem familiar with how publishers think
It's not enough to make a lot of money, they have to make ALL the money
opportunity cost keeps them awake at night in their giant mansions.

Besides if you want to be completely accurate the record holder is Angry Birds at... like 150 million downloads.
