Theycited NPD research data as the source behind their claim at having made the best-selling game of last year.
The figure includes the 29 million copies that were sold by the end of October 2013.
Take-Two also revealed that 70 per cent of its players had played GTA Online, which it said contributed to the company's "strong growth".
"Take-Two's business continued to outperform expectations significantly during the fiscal third quarter," said Strauss Zelnick, chairman and CEO of Take-Two.
"Take-Two was the top video game publisher of 2013, according to the NPD Group, underscoring our positive momentum over the past year," he added.
In October, the Guiness World Records confirmed that the game had smashed six world records, including becoming the fastest entertainment property to gross US$1 billion - doing so in just three days.
