Obviously GTA V is a behemoth in terms of sales and money generated, but at times and with various deals its been cheaper to buy bundled GTA cards with a new copy than just a shark card. This has led to some thinking that copies sold is a bit misleading as a metric.

If there is a new GTA:O then it will be more mature and a lot of lessons learned around MTX can be there day one. Instead of being developed over time as with GTA V:O

Less copies, but revenue depends on online quality.

 

[Shane89]

both

 

[T4keD0wN]

People will pay for bullets with real money and they will like it. Itll make more money even if it sells 1/4.

 

[Majormaxxx]

Gta 6 cannot compete with a game that sold on ps3/360 gen (160m consoles) and ps4/one gen (180m consoles).

So: less copies but more money.

 

[CherryFalls]

I think the hype is dead for gta now, i dont expect it to sell that much

Please be sarcasm.

See you in 10 years when the results come in.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

GTA6 needs to be released on Nintendo systems as well in order to have a realistic chance at even getting close to GTA5 current sales figures which honestly are beyond insane.

 

[SimTourist]

GTA 5 lasted 10 years, GTA 6 will be around for 20 years if not more before the next one comes.

 

[Robb]

Less copies but more money would be my bet.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Less copies but make more money....But what do I know. Hopefully the game is incredible and it deserves 300 million copies.

 

[Kerotan]

I think less copies but way more sold at full price. They will monetise the shit out of it too so probably more money. It will get the inevitable next gen remaster boost but selling more copies total will depend on the gap until GTA VII. That's what it comes down to.

 

[FingerBang]

Just looking at the odds, I'd say it will sell fewer copies and make less money. That doesn't mean it won't be a huge success, but I don't believe it will happen again unless it's as successful as it was and the market conditions stay the same they've been for this game to succeed.

I just hope it's good

 

[JimmyRustler]

I don't think the industry will be the same 10 years down the line. Hence I somewhat doubt that Take 2 will be able to replicate the success of GTAV.

My vote is therefore less copies and less money.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Sell more and generate more. GTAO was a shitshow at the launch of GTAV. They will take the lessons they learned over the last decade and have their ducks in a row at launch this time. And GTAVII will take even longer to make than this did so it will just keep selling.

That's actually quite interesting - You can indeed realize that back in 2018, even a major game as Red Dead Redemption 2 got its week of Twitch front page and then people just stopped caring. We can expect something similar for GTA 6, because there just are too many games at once out there. Even considering his "Sequel to the most sold game of all time" aura

Most of all, you have to make all the GTA V players switch permanently. Won't happen.
I predict a lot of people trying it initally and then trickling back to GTA V MP.

 

[zedim]

It will sell less but make more money. Gta Online will probably be amazing and vastly improved

 

[RyRy93]

Surpassing GTA V will be incredibly difficult, a whole decade of consistently high charting and a popular online mode.

 

[ripjoel]

[EverydayBeast]

Bought GTA IV at launch since that it’s been red dead for me.

 

[HogIsland]

Not launching on PC is gonna hurt. Predicting weakest GTA launch on record.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Really? Reviving a thread for spam?

 

[Wildebeest]

If it was a sure thing that GTAVI would make more money than GTAV then it would have been out five years ago.

 

[Flabagast]

It will be impossible to top the success of GTAV, and Rocsktar perfectly knows it

Wont prevent the game to generate billions of revenue of course

 

[Fake]

I don't think GTA6 will ever beat GTAV.

GTAV was the right game for the right time.

And if GTAV ever get ported to Nintendo Switch will be impossible.

 

[dano1]

Gta 6 cannot compete with a game that sold on ps3/360 gen (160m consoles) and ps4/one gen (180m consoles).

So: less copies but more money.

Good point. But I think it will sell better in the first year than V did.
Either way it’s going to make Billions

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Easily, GTA VI will be bigger and better in everyway. It'll be one of the greatest games of the 21th century along with a modded Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls VI.

 

[poppabk]

GTA VI has to compete with GTA V. GTA IV lacked the GaaS hooks so couldn't be a viable alternative.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Surpassing GTA V will be incredibly difficult, a whole decade of consistently high charting and a popular online mode.

A lot of that is because of people buying the game again only for the shark card.

That being said, yeah I could see GTAV Online continuing to be very popular even after GTA 6's release.

 

[West Texas CEO]

It will sell copies.

 

[becks]

Really? Reviving a thread for spam?

Hey, sorry. I didn't mean to upset anyone. Better to post in an old thread than open a new one.

I'm just so very surprised that GTA V has such incredible sales figures. The topic is very exciting and my anticipation for part 6 is so great. There are some exciting opinions here.

I put a lot of effort into this post and wanted to show it off. That's more effort than just plain spam.

 

[kapshin]

I'll wager it outsells Concord by a margin.... an extreme 5000000% is still a margin

lol

They havent launched PC day and date with console in forever

 

[CliffBronger]

Less copies less money is my guess.

If they do go the woke route as some have speculated, then less copies is a guarantee.

 

[HogIsland]

lol

The ground has shifted

 

[MMaRsu]

The ground has shifted

No, it hasn't.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

what as in more sales than the past game that's had like 14 years to sell?
