“Grand Theft Auto VI (Grand Theft Auto 6)” has not yet been officially released, but Take-Two’s confidence in it seems to be too high to hide. According to the latest news, Take-Two internal estimates suggest that the initial revenue of “GTA 6” is expected to exceed $1 billion, once again challenging the most exaggerated sales record in game history. If it comes true, this much-anticipated masterpiece will probably push the ceiling of the entire game market upwards.
“GTA 6” hasn’t been released yet, but the market is already predicting it will break records
Foreign media pointed out that “GTA 6” has now achieved one of the strongest pre-order starts in the history of the game. The analysis agency Newzoo even predicts that the global revenue of the game in the first week of its launch is likely to fall between 3.3 billion and 5.2 billion U.S. dollars, of which it is not impossible to exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars in the first launch.
In fact, “Grand Theft Auto V (Grand Theft Auto V)” set an entertainment industry record of exceeding $1 billion in three days as early as 2013. Now “GTA 6” is far more popular than it was back then, and the market generally believes that Rockstar has a good chance to refresh its myth again.
Not just games, but the entire industry is waiting for it!
The importance of “GTA 6” is no longer just a new game from Rockstar. In recent months, many analysts have pointed out that many game companies have deliberately avoided the release date of “GTA 6” for fear that their works will be directly overturned. Now, if the initial launch really breaks through 1 billion US dollars, it will not only make Rockstar history again, but also may inject a shot in the arm into the game market that has been slightly weak in recent years.
As for whether this amazing goal can actually be achieved in the end, it will be revealed soon. But at least judging from the current market popularity, the biggest problem with “GTA 6” is probably not “will it sell”, but “how exaggerated can it be sold?”
