Name one franchise, one single franchise thats revolutionized gaming as much as this, brought in so many new gamers by the millions as this, quite possibly the game that made gaming such a multi billion dollar industry as it is now.
Trust me, you can't.

>it sold a lot so it's a revolution
I dont get it
just bought gta 5, i hope it runs on my shitty pc and it's as fun as san andreas
If it sells wells then it means it's a revolutionary masterpiece.
If it doesn't sell well then it means it's a piece of garbage.
Call of Duty
>If it sells wells then it means it's a revolutionary masterpiece.
explain the logic
Name one thing this franchise did first
Mario never brought gaming to the heights of hollywood. Nintendo hindered gaming more then it helped.
It became the first game to bring in a much wider audience then any other game in history. It was the first open world sandbox game that game you immense freedom in your experience. No other game did that.
GTA broughy them in, call of duty kept them playing. Hate it as much as you want for being "mainstream" but COD and GTA are the pinnacle of the hardcore gaminh experience.
Mario literally got turned into a hollywood movie
Ultima online. Arguably more freedom as well
Other way around
Pac-Man. without Pac-Man there would be no GTA or gaming industry as it is today
If it sells a lot, it is objectively good. Every "argument" against this logic is cope central. Continue to seethe because your horse didn't win, losers.
>Mario literally got turned into a hollywood movie
As a shitty film made to pander to children, just like mario. No need to make a GTA movie, the franchise already acheived better status then most movies.
>Ultima online. Arguably more freedom as well
Some mmo for the computer made for neckbeards that only neckbeards played.
>Other way around
GTA was around long before call of duty 4 hit the big time and was the main reason why the ps2 sold over 100+ million units.

Mario is the Mickey Mouse of gaming you absolute buffoon.
mc donalds sell a lot, it means it's a revolutionary masterpiece.
>food analogy
Juat because it sold well doesn't mean its good or revolutionary. Did mario ever have a mature deep storyline equal to the greatest movies or liturature? No?
Also, oh, look at that!
Super mario: 334.65million
GTA: 280 million
Gee, this much younger franchise is less then a hundred million units in sales behind mario himself! Taking a wild guess that when GTA 6 comes out, why, that number will change pretty drastically.
>Mario never brought gaming to the heights of hollywood
How is this a bad thing? Mario saved gaming and made it more than a fad. GTA turned it into cancer.
You still havent explained the
>sells a lot
>therefore it's revolutionary
logic
I don't even going to argue with your ignorant ass. You either baiting or just an actual retard.
>GTA turned it into cancer.
You fucking imbeciles are unable to separate GTA V from the franchise as a whole. Why everyone here must be this dumb?
i played games before GTA1 was even out, now fuck off zoom zoom
GTA/RDR2 as a whole is cancer which spawns pus infested tumors such as Saints Row and other edgy bullshit.
>brought in so many new gamers by the millions
>Implying this is a good thing
Just how things work. Apple wasn't the first to make a smart phone but they were the ones who revolutionized it. They sold a lot now everyone follows in their footsteps.
Whats there to debate? A game franchise with only seven installments for 23 years is only 52 million units away from dethroning the mascot of gaming, whos had over a hundred different games with his name on it for nearly 40 years now?
Or is it the fact that nintendo and mario kept video games from becoming respectable entertainment for adults, like GTA did? If Nintendo is, like, DC, then Rockstar is Alan Moore and GTA is watchmen.
Face it, mario should be begging rockstar to be in smash, not the other way around.
So if something is not revolutionary, then it will not sell well?
