"in which he revealed that an Xbox One and PS 4 release of GTA 5 will not be as popular as the Xbox 360 and PS 3 versions"

Well duh.... last gen has a much bigger install base than current gen. He actually gets paid to say things like that? I wish i had his job.

hay4162d ago

There's aboot 160m PS3/360s, compared to ~10m PS4/Ones. They should expect at most 1/16th of the sales, but considering the fact "next-gen" haven't really started yet(still waiting for first truly next generation title), should be much nothing below Call of the Same: Ghosts which leeched 1.6m 70$ piles from wallets. GTA 5 is obvious next-gen contender.

1.5-2m isn't that low. Could top PS4/One lists if released now.

minimur124162d ago

So this guy is saying that 32 million copies wont be sold in 4 months? Damn....

/s

UltimateMaster4162d ago

State the obvious.
Smaller install base means less sales.

thekhurg4162d ago

They'll get my business. I skipped the old gen version with the hope that a next-gen release would happen.

GhostTurtle4155d ago (Edited 4155d ago )

If it were to release in 2 months, Im willing to bet it would sell at least 1 mil on both consoles. Maybe another 500k-750k on PC. This would be my prediction just for the first couple of weeks. Thats not too bad, let alone an unexpected later release drawing more sales.

Then get your degrees buddy.

guitarded774162d ago (Edited 4162d ago )

Even with a degree and experience, they aren't just handing out jobs like that. I wish they were.

ON TOPIC: With a GOTY edition with DLC, the game will sell enough to be very profitable on next-gen and PC. Hell, GTAV was turning profit after day 1, and it was one of, if not the most expensive game ever developed.

PC, PS4 and XBOX One versions are a no-brainer.

I'd also like to see Dark Souls 2, Batman Arkham Origins and Castlevainia LoS 2 get next gen ports. They're falling into that window of people converting, and may miss some PS360 sales if they don't add next-gen (this-gen... this is confusing) ports.

BX814162d ago

Lmao only on n4g would people disagree with education.

@ guitar. I agree but without out either you have already taken your self completely out of the picture. Not saying you in specific but in general.

JaredH4162d ago (Edited 4162d ago )

I think he's talking about attach rates but I'm not sure. I know that if it came to next gen later this year with carried over mp characters and new DLC or something I would probably pick it up again. I'm also assuming the mp world would hopefully be more populated like the single player world and improved graphics would be nice.

I put 100+ hours into it and would definitely replay the single player and play the multiplayer more if they actually had better modes and I'd rather wait for a goty-like next gen version to have a bunch of new things to do then pop in the current version every now and again for small updates like the beach bum pack.

bryam19824162d ago

is an amazing game man i cant believe all the details they put whit this old consoles i can't imagine the wonders they'll do whit ps4 I'm 100% sure they'll combine los santos vice city and san andreas in one big game so this tome we'll be able to go to.the airport.get a plane to each city rockstar you guys are gods

Lucreto4162d ago

They sold about 36 million copies can't remember the exact number. You are not going to get huge figures when there are only about 10 million current gen consoles on the market.

If anything they could get a million or 2 out of it and they get experience on the new consoles so their next game will be that much better.

KwietStorm_BLM4162d ago

Killzone alone sold over 2 million on PS4. GTA V could get "a million or 2" without trying, especially seeing how fast these consoles are selling.

Lucreto4162d ago

True. I didn't get GTA V because I am waiting for the PS4 version. If I knew Tomb Raider was doing the same I would have waited.

isa_scout4162d ago

You don't say, this guy must be a genius of some kind.

Chanogram4162d ago (Edited 4162d ago )

Until proven otherwise, i'm going to assume that any article/opinion that uses "GTA" and "Low Earnings" in the same sentence is nonsense. All this franchise does is make money. Even with the lower install base, it will sell like hot-cakes.

kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese43d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde43d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast43d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake42d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow142d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown50d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8550d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown50d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8550d ago (Edited 50d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole49d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name50d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast50d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj50d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
