GTA V has shipped over 32 million copies as of 2015, but the title has been released across a number of different platforms, including PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Obviously, the number is still highly impressive, but Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, released in 2004, sold 17 million units on the PS2 alone. Undoubtedly one of the best-loved games to ever be played on the system, the PS2 version of San Andreas is timeless.

The game would receive a slight graphical upgrade on the original Xbox console, but many gamers spent hours controlling Carl 'CJ' Johnson on Sony's system, and it's not uncommon for gamers to still pop in a copy of the classic disc from time-to-time today.
