Grand Theft Auto 5 is approaching 100 million copies sold.....
I feel like this is a milestone that deserves its own thread, and in general, represents a huge milestone for the game industry. As of March 31st, 2018, GTA 5 has currently sold 95 million copies worldwide.… -

Yup, business acumen 101 that underlines many a venture irrespective of industry. A tad off piste but I reckon rates a mention if nothing else just for a simple eyebrow raise, namely a supposed GTA 6 2019 release which spawned a nefarious cloud of interweb postulating last month the studio had said was a hoax, although for… -
Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 is approaching 100 million copies sold.....
Not that I disagree, but something I learned a LONG time ago. Back when I was working on those old Tony Hawk games, I asked the president, why not give us 2 years to make a TH game? We could polish thing to a more unexpected level, over-deliver on expectations, put out WAY more content. His answer was simply this. "2 Tony… -

Definitely. Perhaps it's more a matter of what audience is being targeted, but I never miss any Rockstar games -- especially GTA installments -- while I hardly notice Ubisofts latest iterations. However, I really like what Ubi's been bringing to the multiplayer table lately, but that's besides the point. -

Do you have a source for this kind of sales figures on the Assassins Creed Franchise? According to vgchartz.com these titles combined sold 12.36 Million copies in the first week. Ten times the first week sales could be the case but doesn't sound very plausible to me. -

I mean that's obvious right ? Grand theft auto, these words remind us of the game first then later about the crime that it is. It's always hyped up, always popular and above that, there are so many online sellers who sell the copies of these games with so much discount that even the most broke of us all would buy that.… -

@defragger They mentioned it in a blog post 2 years ago, but I think the number includes sales from Rogue and Syndicate. More accurate numbers might be found by checking their annual financial reports. -

You know Rockstar also has studios all over the world that contributed to GTAV, right? https://www.mcvuk.com/development/inside-rockstar-north-part-2-the-studio "This has actually evolved so much, say Benzies and Semple, that now ‘production’ of each giant Rockstar game isn’t just done by one studio – but all of them…
