The Grand Theft Auto series is one of the most popular franchises in gaming. According to Gamespot, the series has now shipped 125 million units to date.The figure was announced by Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick during the Credit Suisse 2012 Technology Conference. There was no further information about which game in the series sold how many copies, but the company has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto IV alone shipped 25 million units.Zelnick has also said that the success of the GTA series comes from its unique release schedule. The series doesn't follow a proper release schedule like Activision's yearly Call of Duty games, and instead follows its own schedule. GTA V is set to release in 2013, after 2008's GTA IV. Zelnick has stated that the company is going to turn the GTA franchise into a yearly series.
