Certainly it doesn't approach Madden levels.
For reference, Madden is bought by people who don't know what the hell a final fantasy is.
GTA is a MONSTER franchise. San Andreas sold about 17 million, Vice City had 14 million, and GTAIII had about 11. That just includes the PS2 version of those games, the Xbox versions sold a couple million more.
Ocarina of Time only sold about 7 million.
