Concerns reappeared with Grand Theft Auto III, launched in 2001, when the game began using 3D graphics for the first time, heightening the realism of the violence. And it has been an unprecedented commercial success, shipping more than 410 million units across the franchise, making it one of the best-selling video game series of all time – sitting alongside the Fifa football game series, war-based series Call Of Duty and long-running franchises such as Pokemon and Tetris. The best-selling instalment of the series, Grand Theft Auto V, is the second best selling game ever, with more than 190 million copies sold.
