GS:Take-Two Interactive has explained why it does not release a new Grand Theft Auto game every two years. Speaking during the Wedbush Transformational Technologies Conference this week, chief operating officer Karl Slatoff explained doing so would degrade the franchise's value.
But he's still firm that physical games aren't going away.
One high end console has always been a benefit. The other is no longer a necessity.
Only competition there ever was, was when one launched a year to a year and a half early. Based on this generation, the other would have to launch 2 to 4 years early just to compete. Because buying a huge part of the industry, having a multiple game sleep mode, cheaper in price, smaller form factor, supposedly having better BC and a day one subscription service, has still resulted in another huge ass kicking.
Yay for physical Take Two.
I wouldn't really call it competing when a company is dead last in sales when compared to the rival company. I will always stick around for physical copies of games. Moment games go all digital is the day I bring the SNES and Genesis out of hibernation and just stick to retro.
"Grand Theft Auto" publisher Take-Two Interactive is working on an "significant" cost reduction plan following mixed earnings results for its October-December 2023 quarter
Take-Two announced its financial results for Q3 of the fiscal year on top of an update to sales figures of Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2, and more.
So 2.47% of the global population have a copy of gta v no wonder they don't want to release vi there's still so many people who haven't brought v
Obvious sarcasm here
To think that 5mil sold is considered a huge success for any game in general, and 10 is amazing. I cannot believe people are still buying this.
I keep saying that’s why the 7th generation was the most loved because of gta5 and Skyrim.
Well hopefully millions went to gta 6 singleplayer mode to make it extra epic but knowing rockstar nowadays there won't be a full support for singleplayer, mainly online will be the focus i bet but I hope atleast theres plenty to do in the open world and not just look good with little to nothing to do, after gta 6 ain no tellin when we will get another rockstar title even tho the mfs sucked in millions from red dead 2 as well I miss when we got more than 1 game a gen from them they always delivered, so many key staff members left not even just the well known names
just announce gta V for ps4 and i will be happy!
And yet Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty and probably more are releasing every year and getting amazing sales numbers. The value of the brand though? Maybe not as good.
I'm happy T2 doesn't wanna milk the GTA franchise with new releases every year or two
Good to see someone gets it.
Pretty much JeremyEdson said what I was thinking.
