And take-two still losing money in quarterly earnings...
Did you know that Grand Theft Auto 5 released in September 2013 and since then has sold 54 million units across 5 platforms.
On the other hand there have only been 42 million units sold across ALL Wii U game releases since September 2013.

Mediocre games, disgusting result.
The ultimate in Nintendo shitting, nice work.
Why bring up them up in here?
Seems I did...still don't kick when someonw is down, it's mean lolNot really? I was just trying to bring in a fact that would blow peoples minds.
You must have missed my Buy a Wii U thread - http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1067618
Takes too many resources to make, I guess--- why spend money making a quality SP component when you can make money on virtual currency for people to re-buy assets already in the single player game.
From a business perspective, I see why they keep pushing GTA Online content.
From a personal perspective, it disappoints me so, because I loved both GTA IV expansions dearly, especially TBoGT.
And the worst part is, there are so many areas in San Andreas that the artists clearly spent a shitload of time on, but never received any love with quests/story arcs utilizing said locations-- at least in a meaningful way (I'm looking at you prison, Power Plant & Fort Zancudo!!).
All that said, if the lack of SP content is because team members have shifted to RDR2 making it as quality a product as GTAV, then all is forgiven.

That's just about the worst list I've ever seen. Tetris is at the top based on a press release about a combination of multiple mobile titles, from 2010!Sits 4th behind Tetris, Wii Sports, and Minecraft.

That's a lot of GTA5.
But for the rest, something doesn't add up.
There are seven main GTA titles (five numbered plus VC and SA), plus Chinatown Wars, LCS and VCS. Everything else is add-on packs/DLC. That means after the top two, either the others games have sold 17+ million each on average (extremely unlikely for the likes of VCS and CW and does not make sense of sales data we have), or:
1) They're counting DLC downloads as individual sales
2) Cheap mobile versions of old games made up the numbers
Most likely both.
54 million? Damn.
Buy British!
That's not Nintendo shitting! It's an observation!The ultimate in Nintendo shitting, nice work.

Exactly. I bought GTA3 on sale for I think 99c on iPhone, mostly as a curiosity of playing a PS2 game on my phone. And that's counted here.Since GTA5 launched there have been an additional ~85 million units sold in the series.
We know 54 million is attributed to GTA5 which means that an additional 31 million units of GTA have been sold since September 2013.
This will have been attributed to older games, PC sales and Mobile sales.

I mean yes technically it's a game sale so I can't argue, but it's truly not the same thing in reality as full retail sales.
I do think they're most likely also counting DLC as 'game sales', which is a bit less legit IMO, although GTA4 DLC did get disc releases.
Damn, it's amazing and I'm really hype for GTA6, i let you blow my mind Rockstar.
Have Take-Two changed their position since then?
Well, GTA is a great series. Particularly the latest version.
I think the unannounced game is now announced, Mafia 3.
Rockstar's success really makes you wonder what they're going to make next. I mean, look at what they have focused on the last three years:
2013: GTA V
2014: GTA V (New Gen)
2015: GTA V (Heists/PC)
Even then, Rockstar has traditionally focused on one game a year, but they've really stretched GTA V! What I don't understand is why Strauss Zelnick has denied Story DLC, because that would be sure to sell quite a bit. Have Take-Two changed their position since then?
The unannounced game is not Mafia 3.
It is a different game.
That's billions of moments T-boned by GTA V's stupid AI drivers.
Have you driven in California?This, so much this.
Worst AI drivers in any game.

Would Agent count as an "unannounced new IP" if it is to be re-revealed? I still have hope lol If it doesn't happen we can always wait for Bully 2.
Zelnick did flub that question during the conference call. The company later issued a statement retracting what he said.

It's not a new IP (well it could be). It's just an unannounced AAA game.
So it could be a new IP or a sequel or something else.
Yes it could be Agent. Yes it could be Red Dead Redemption 2. Yes it could be Grand Theft Auto 6. Yes it could be Borderlands 3.
I don't think Rockstar would be developing Borderlands. Isn't that done by Gearbox usually under 2K? I also don't think well see a new GTA until the end of this generation, and if it's Agent, it probably will be different from the original concept in a but the name. I predict Rockstar to probably make a new Red Dead, Bully, or New IP altogether (in that order of likelihood).
