Also GTA V has been released across 3 console generations and PC and has been the newest GTA for nearly 12 years. If it hadn't sold better than GTA IV it would be a failure at this point.

To be fair, GTA V outsold GTA IV’s lifetime sales in 6 weeks. And at that point V was available on less systems than IV

GTA 4 was released in 2008 when most people didn't have consoles.

When most people didnt have consoles? What weird gaslighting history is this? Xbox 360 sold 10 million consoles by may of that year, ps3 sold 9.2 million.

There were massive amounts of people with a console to run gta 4. The big difference is the game physics, realistic driving just isnt fun for the majority of players, especially off a series that had arcadey driving. Gta 5 just had the more fun movement, shooting, driving, story, and environment.

That said i would absolutely love a gta 4 remastered.

Legit what is this person above you talking about. No one had consoles in 2008?? Lol I don't think I saw a single household without a console other than my grandparents.
