that dudes reviews are getting worse. he despises nihilism of any sort and has trouble getting around that depicting certain things(sexism and whatever) isnt approval of them. nevermind he barely bothers discussing the mechanics/gameplay.

 

[Verendus]

Nah, I don't believe it. GTAV on current generation platforms isn't supposed to be a big deal.

 

[NickFire]

This must drive some of the pro-censor anything they don't like crowd nuts. I love it.

 

[Quentyn]

Not really surprising, but they just confirmed they will be publishing Borderlands 3.

 

[Strike]

Crazy numbers and I am one of those 10 million owners.

 

[JordanN]

There are more copies of GTA 5 than the entire population of Canada.

 

[Roo]

Mario Kart Wii got its ass kicked HARD!

 

[Turkoop]

GOD DAYUM, R* swimming in money

 

[Floridian]

Nah, I don't believe it. GTAV on current generation platforms isn't supposed to be a big deal.

Yeah, they're just up-rezzed ports, nothing important.

 

[Pezus]

Biggest GTA by a humongous distance,

I didn't expect such insane sales for next-gen . I think the game can go on to sell 55m+ with the PC version and ongoing sales of other versions

 

[maquiladora]

 

[dLMN8R]

It's 10 million shipped not sold through

It's shipped though, not sold.

There are probably millions of PS4/PS3/XB1/X360 copies sitting on shelves world wide.

Shipped is the key word

It's money in 2K's and Rockstar's pockets. That's all they care about. Retailers are seeing enough demand for the game that they purchased that many units to stock their shelves with. It's not like 2K is shipping copies to retailers against the will of those retailers. They're paying for it. It's money already spent.

The whole "It's shipped! Not sold!" doesn't matter to earnings reports.

 

[jvm]

Headed for $1 billion in digital. Good on TTWO.

 

[FireCloud]

I wonder how much is from double (or triple) dipping? I waited on it last gen because I figured it had to make a next gen appearance. Glad that gamble paid off as least in part. I also gambled on Batman Origins making it over to next gen. That didn't seem to pan out.

This.

[Pharaoh 117]

Holy shit! That's a big number. Well deserved, GTAV is a great game.

What's Ubisoft at these days?

They feel so far behind out of the big four, at least empirically.

I never said it did matter. I was just saying that I doubt it sold more than CoD on current gen consoles in response to that poster.

I only had to pay $30 for the next-gen copy from a Target deal.

 

[RespectThySole]

Do we know how much GTA4 did on PC?

 

[jellies_two]

consoles clearly dying I see.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

 

[Elysium-777]

Nice, now where's my young Michael bank robbing dlc? >.>

 

[vinnygambini]

You sure? Or I may be blind.

All I see is 60% retail, 40% digital

Net revenue was $ 782,849 for the nine months ending in December.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

45 million copies sold!?!?!?!?!? And only on consoles!? No wonder Rockstar doesn't prioritize PC! Good Lord!

And 10 million on new gen is bananas!

 

[speculawyer]

consoles clearly dying I see.

Indeed.

Let that be a reminder that people who write business articles often don't have a fucking clue what they are talking about.

 

[Magicgamer101]

I've double dipped twice and haven't even completed the game yet and I'm going to triple dip as well when this releases on PC

 

[Exentryk]

Happy to see big open world games do these kind of sales. Well deserved, and hopefully it becomes an inspiration for other companies.

I think $300 million, at best. For FY14 they did €195 million and then €134.7 million in 1H15. If we assume that they did €97 million in the latter half of FY14 and add that to the €134.7 million so far this year, we get €233 million. Google tells me that's about $267 million.

Sorry, I typically only care about annual figures. They did $217 million in a single quarter...

 

[The Albatross]

Awesome.

ANNOUNCE THAT DLC

 

[MCN]

Thanks
But this means no R* game for holiday

I'm willing to give Rockstar enough time to do whatever the hell they want. It will be worth the wait.

 

[nubbe]

I have GTA5 on PS3, PS4 and will get it on PC during a Steam sale

 

[Infurino]

GTA sales numbers never cease to amaze.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

The conference call has just started. You can listen here.

thanks.

well deserved tbh

 

[KePoW]

Do yall think it's possible that the PC version sells another 5M? I know PC ports usually don't sell much total, but now I'm wondering about GTA5

 

[Deleted member 17706]

No way it sold more than CoD. Great numbers though.

I think it may have, actually. CoD is still really strong on last-gen, with Xbox 360 being its best platform.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Wow...crazy.

 

[RespectThySole]

I think it may have, actually. CoD is still really strong on last-gen, with Xbox 360 being its best platform.

That's only in the US and XB1/PS4 are very close to it. Worldwide it's definitely:

1. PS4
2. XB1

 

[Domino Theory]

New Bioshock pleaseee.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Yeah so GTAV sold pretty well on PS4/XB1 then

Curious to hear whatever Rockstars next game is as they seem to be most of what makes Take-Two money at this point

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Good point. I should have clarified that I was talking specifically about NPD data (so no digital, either).

 

[Quentyn]

Shocking news: They not gonna say anything about the next title from Rockstar.

 

[Rembrandt]

Jesus fucking Christ. GTA is a monster and has legs. Give me A warriors spiritual successor now please.

 

[IcyRhythms]

Have Rockstar said anything about story DLC? Doesn't look like it's going to happen at this point.

 

[HardRojo]

And I have yet to purchase it for my PS4. DAMN!

 

[LowEndTorque]

But I thought consoles were dead

 

[DieH@rd]

Have Rockstar said anything about story DLC? Doesn't look like it's going to happen at this point.

Nope. They are only announced that they will release Heists.

 

[bud23]

Believe.
