After the companies Sony a Microsoft Take Two has also released its financial results. From the available data, we learned that GTA V scored in terms of sales worst quarter since its release in 2013.
Take Two reps revealed that around one million units were sold in the last quarter, which is still a respectable figure for a nearly 10-year-old game. However, one can clearly see a downward trend, which was supposed to come sooner or later. The company also announced it reduces sales forecast for the entire year from $ 5.8 to $ 5.9 billion to $ 5.4 to $ 5.5 billion.
The reduced forecast of future sales, along with other factors, contributed drop in share price by about 17%. Game Analyst Benji-Sales at Twitter he mainly mentions Take Two’s problems in the mobile market, which he says are a bigger problem than the drop in sales of GTA V.
It certainly didn’t help the company either recent loss a working version of GTA VI. Take Two boss Strauss Zelnick recalled this event in an interview with investors, who repeated it it will not affect the development of GTA VI or its release date. He further added that there was no evidence of the theft of other materials.
Take Two also bragged about being up to date total sales of their games. It is worth paying attention to the aforementioned GTA V, which has been able to sell around the world since its release over 170 million copies. Another Rockstar title in the form of Red Dead Redemption 2 then hit 46 million units.
We’ve been joking for years Take-Two / Rockstar didn’t need Grand Theft Auto 6 to come out soon because how much money GTAV made
This no longer seems to be entirely true
GTAV only shipped around 1 million units last quarter. It seems the behemoth is finally slowing down
