crazy numbers

 

[Savantcore]

Obviously really hope that we get GTA VI before long, but at this rate I'd settle for a decent new-gen port

 

[Cort]

I wonder how much gas was fueled for GTAV when NoPixel exploded on Twitch

 

[Ekid]

No GTA VI before 2025 at the earliest.

 

[jokkir]

How's RDR2 online? I think it's still on sale and was eyeing it

 

[FarSight XR-20]

"By scaling our business further through a highly disciplined approach to both organic and inorganic growth opportunities, having the willingness to explore and experiment with new markets and business models, and investing prudently to enhance our global infrastructure and resources, Take-Two remains poised to generate growth and margin expansion over the long-term."

And then GTA VII sometime around 2043.

 

[Joltik]

I wonder when are we getting a GTA VI since we are getting a next-gen upgrade of GTA V? I also wonder what form would the hypothetical GTA VI take thanks to the supreme success of GTA online?

 

[RoKKeR]

Best since 2013, ridiculous lol.

And happy to see RDR2 sell so much. It's a masterpiece.

 

[MeltedDreams]

No AAA game will ever beat it. Unless you know, GTA VI somehow top this insane number.

 

[Kodama4]

GTA V and World of Warcraft - The Immortals

 

[Shard Shinjuku]

IS this including the free EGS copies of the game?

 

[Deleted member 864]

Pretty insane overall.

IDK, but as far as December being Red Dead Online's best month, they had just launched the $5 online version. I don't know how that counts as far as shipped copies though.

 

[Raigor]

Crazy to see Take-Two making less than EA and Activision in the quarter despite having GTA Online and NBA printing money.

But I guess COD/WoW/King games and FIFA/Apex/Madden are too big

 

[Van Bur3n]

That $5 for RDO stand-alone worked well. You new players have plenty to enjoy in it. Until you're caught up and waiting for content like the rest of us.

According to Capcom the Resident Evil series has sold just over 100 million units. That's across 135 titles in the franchise over 25 years.

I can look at the numbers and it's still hard to wrap my head around how well GTA V has sold.

 

[MysticGon]

Bakana!

 

[MXG]

Man... 140 MILLION. What surprises me that, there's still people left who does not own GTA 5.

 

[RightChandMan]

Can one of those 93 games be Max Payne 4? :(

 

[Deleted member 52190]

They sold 10M copies in 6 months, 7 years after release and they gave the game for free on pc, that is actualy crazy

Lede got buried here. Between this and Sony, $70 is officially 'full price' in the context of videogames, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

 

[BrickArts295]

They might as well make GTA VI a story DLC for GTA V at this rate.

 

[Audere Est Facere]

Bought GTA 3 times.

 

[Dolce]

And then GTA VII sometime around 2043.

I mean they have to be working on something. GTAIV->RDR1->GTAV->RDR2->???

 

[irishonion]

Man, the GTA V next gen port better be mind blowing.

Because we ain't getting a new one for a while lol.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

RDR2 deserves to sell a lot more.

Absolutely incredible. (I play solo on Xbox)

 

[Deleted member 4874]

I haven't played since I overdid it on Vice City. Maybe when 6 comes out

Play GTAV.

 

[UraMallas]

Good for them but GTAV having it's best year since launch is bad news for GTA fans who want a new one imo. Granted, it was a pandemic, but that cow still has a lot of milk at this rate.

I don't think it'll ever be topped. Selling (an average of) 17.5m copies a year for 8 straight years is never going to happen again. It's insane.

 

[egg]

And to think, it's about to get released AGAIN lol.

 

[NekoNeko]

i gotta assume they expected more from RDR2

Yes - play RDR2 :)

 

[Maximus Odinson]

140 milly and NO singleplayer DLC I'm still fuming lmao

 

[Multievolution]

Sadly not surprising, user to like online before it went silly, as it is now it's just a online sandbox and a who has the biggest wallet game.

 

[asd202]

GTAVI will be an event.

 

[FF Seraphim]

God can you imagine if GTAV was ever released on Switch how many copies they could sell with GTA on the Go.
This thing just keeps selling.

 

[Ocean Bones]

God damn. Red dead 2 doing good for itself too!

 

[Strike]

It'll be newsworthy if GTAVI ships with a robust single player component at this point.

GTAVI will be like BF and COD short 7 hour campaign that serves as nothing more than a tutorial for online play.

Seriously people stop playing GTA online.

RDR 2 had a robust single player component. I think people forget GTA V made 1 billion dollars in three days without an online component

 

[pappacone]

GTAVI being not close was a given since V's remaster announcement. If they are gonna resell GTAV in let's say 2022, of course GTAVI will not be out in 2023

 

[Jaaake]

I'm soooooo tired of even just hearing about GTAV.

who is even still playing it (I realise there's a lot but it boggles my mind
