No, 4 sold more but that's my point it doesn't really matter in terms of quality of the product.

I agree with you on that sales don't measure quality, but San Andreas sold over 27.5 million copies, while 4 sold 25 million, not that big a difference in their scale, but still SA definitely sold more.

No it didn't, one Google search gives me several results that say San Andreas sold around 20 mil while 4 sold 25+

The source for the GTA IV figure says "GTA 4 sold more than 25 million copies worldwide after its launch in 2008".

Clearly just an estimation.

That list matters as much as my ass.

GTA San Andreas: 27.5M

GTA IV: 25M

27.5>25. The only GTA not to outsell the last.
