[Exterminieren]

Fucking incredible.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

That is insane, R* probably got more cash than they know what to do with.

Oh they know what to do with it alright. Spend it! They purchased two office buildings in Long Island from me.

 

[Skyr]

Well deserved.
Every GTA sets a new standard in open world design. I can't wait what RDR2 and GTA6 will bring new to the table. With the resources they have now it will surely blow our minds.

 

[dh4niel]

I can definitely see them resting on there laurels after this but I guess we'll see what RDR2 is like.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Lavell is a funny dude.

 

[RibMan]

Has this game made multiple billions in revenue now? I guess it must have.

It's impossible to ship 70 million copies of a $60 product and not have multiple billions in revenue. Furthermore, with the revenue from GTA online, they're probably at a point where the only other entertainment products that compete with it would be stuff like Gone with the Wind and Star Wars. I can't even begin to imagine what GTA 6 will do.

 

[Gator86]

Number doesn't even make sense. Moved 70m copies and making even more money off the backs of people playing the online. Just fucking absurd. Rockstar is untouchable.

 

[ClosingADoor]

I can definitely see them resting on there laurels after this but I guess we'll see what RDR2 is like.

They'll just continue on their own pace like they have done for some time now. The sales numbers just gives Rockstar more power to tell Take-Two shareholders "don't push us, it's done when it's done."

 

[Anth0ny]

yessssssssssssssssss

<3 GTA V

 

[The Albatross]

~50million chances to sell us some single player DLC, Rockstar. You damn bastards.

 

[Dabanton]

I remember pre GTAV some people said the public was bored with the game haha

 

[The Ummah]

Take Two/2K making a killing right now off of GTA alone. Sheesh.

Show me the WWE2K17 receipts tho <_<

Dump a couple million into that series tho >_>

 

[Briarios]

Amazing

Crazy to think there hasn't even been any massive discounts on the game yet.

You could pick it up for like $23.99 at Best Buy with GCU just last week.

Edit: for the PS4

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Oh my, what a hit. Take a bow, son. Take a bow.

Buy British!

 

[10k]

Ugh what was the sell through? 10m? Pfft. And there's like 7 billion people in the world and they only sold to 70m. Big deal.

/s

 

[Hurricane43]

And is there going to be a PS4PRO patch for V next week, nobody has asked this question yet?

 

[brawly]

All that money and still no singleplayer DLC

 

[Mr.Fletcher]

Oh my, what a hit. Take a bow, son. Take a bow.

Buy British!

Rockstar North will save us from Brexit!*



*Until the Scots do one.

 

[mrmickfran]

Fucking insane.

Nothing else to say besides that

 

[pretty done]

Hopefully it becomes the best selling game of all time*, they deserve it

*minus Tetris, no one is ever gonna beat that

 

[ramparter]

Isnt that like 2x more than Wii U consoles?

Try 5x

 

[Jibbed]

Y'all need to let go of the whole SP DLC thing. It isn't happening.

GTA Online literally rakes it in for them and they're keeping the majority happy with free updates.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Insane numbers. Not too far from the total sales of the Final Fantasy franchise, iirc. I rarely hear people talk about it though.

 

[Obliterator]

Un-fucking-believable

Just imagine what GTAVI launch numbers are going to look like

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

wow

 

[onQ123]

Goodness! & I still haven't played it yet even though I have the game

 

[Briarios]

Millions of those are double dippers from last gen to this gen, but it's still ridiculously impressive.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Crazy numbers. Gotta wonder how they're going to try and top it with VI.

 

[NathanDiego]

nothing can beat this

 

[eso76]

And people wonder why Nintendo hardware bombs. Switch better pray it gets the next GTA. With those kind of numbers, if your hardware can't play the next GTA you might as well not exist.

A proper portable GTA would be crazy.
Yeah, in theory a Vita allows you to play your gtav anywhere, but in practice it just doesn't work (at least, it doesn't for me).

But nope, there's no way the next GTA releases on Nintendo Switch.
Maybe they could release GTA V again though, and hit that 100 million mark.

 

[AudioEppa]

They should invest in Bully 2!

This.

 

[DrkSage]

RDR 2 to go down the same route

 

[viHuGi]

How the fuck is that possible, GTA V what a monster!

 

[Bartholomuse]

I just hopped aboard with the Steam sale last week, I'm amazed by the game so far, it might be the most impressive combination of visuals / performance I've seen in years, can't believe my rig is maxing it at 60fps. The reflections, the lightning, the water, the draw distance...the game is a real technical showpiece.

 

[tilomite!]

Well deserved.

 

[Anth0ny]

And people wonder why Nintendo hardware bombs. Switch better pray it gets the next GTA. With those kind of numbers, if your hardware can't play the next GTA you might as well not exist.

Exactly. To not release the biggest video game franchise on earth on your platform is a mistake, full stop.

And you're kidding yourself if you don't think a huge chunk of those sales are for kids... kids eat GTA up.

 

[Venuspower]

And is there going to be a PS4PRO patch for V next week, nobody has asked this question yet?

No one really knows. There has not been any comment by R* about PRO Support.

 

[Tainted]

Excellent sales, but at this point it isn't really surprising news....I'm expecting it to go over 100mil before the next instalment releases.

Well deserved though, it is probably the one game I have spent more hours playing than any other since its initial release in 2013 across 3 platforms (360, PS4 and PC)

 

[Dremorak]

Sweet christmas....

no wonder they want to make dlc for the thing haha

 

[Yarbskoo]

They should use that money to hire some people to port their games to PC sooner rather than later.

But they won't because then how else will they get people to buy the same game twice.

 

[Steiner]

I wonder if they will release it on Switch, they could sell a few million. I know I would be happy to play it on the go

That's an interesting idea... Portable GTA V, huh? Probably will depend on the Switch's CPU.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

 

[rawbhawb]

No wonder why it took GTAV so long to drop in price. For one game, "impressive" wouldn't be a good enough descriptor.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

Is it actually gonna reach 100M? CRAZY.

Ridiculous. Rockstar perfected the multiplattform release rollout with this game.

Yup.

I'd bet the house that GTA VI comes out at the end of the PS4/X1 lifecycle and gets a PS5/X2 port within a year.

 

[MAtgS]

Exactly. To not release the biggest video game franchise on earth on your platform is a mistake, full stop.

And you're kidding yourself if you don't think a huge chunk of those sales are for kids... kids eat GTA up.

Totally would've done at least 1 mil.

 

[anthraxus]

Where's the sp DLC at ??

Such a shame the world they created felt pretty underused, for a sp guy like myself.

 

[HazySaiyan]

 

[QuantumSquid]

Phenomenal game. Still play it to this day.

 

[Producer]

wtf. Crazyy

 

[Peltz]

Mind blowing. Just totally fucking mind blowing.
