Rockstar's crime opus Grand Theft Auto V was the best-selling game across North America last year, according to sales monitor NPD.
The Xbox 360 and PS3 title, which is now threatening to become the top-selling standalone game ever, topped a best-selling list which was dominated by annualised series.

Released on September 17, Rockstar's acclaimed open-world titlegenerated $800 million in worldwide sales in a single day, with GTA V revenues reaching $1 billion after just three days.
By early November, GTA V was on its way to becoming the best-selling console game of all time, with about 29 million copies sold into retail. Further sales will likely come from additional DLC and the long-rumouredGTA V for PC, should it materialise.
The best-selling console game of all time (not bundled) is currently Mario Kart Wii, at 34 million units, meaning that Rockstar North has that record within reach.
