As expected, GTA 6 is expected to mutate into a money printing machine in the year it is released! Renowned analysts are now predicting insanely high sales.
It's no big secret that Grand Theft Auto VI from Rockstar Games will probably become the biggest release in video game history and perhaps even in the entertainment sector as a whole. But how big is the launch of the long-awaited blockbuster in financial terms? Renowned analysts now dared to make a forecast.
In this case, what is meant is the analyst firm DFC Intelligence, which believes that the potential top hit from Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games will have an insane sales volume. Take-Two will generate sales of around $1 billion from pre-orders of the game alone - once they finally start. This would put GTA 6 in the same league as the biggest blockbuster films in this area.
Within the first 12 months after its release, analysts expect significantly higher sales for the game: Take-Two and Rockstar are expected to make a whopping $3.2 billion from the action blockbuster in the first year after its release.
Yoshio Osaki, CEO of IDG Consulting, took up the analysts' forecast and also gave his two cents. Accordingly, there is no doubt that the release of GTA 6 will be “one of the biggest entertainment launches in history” – “not just in the gaming sector, but in the media segment as a whole”.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick also expressed confidence in the quality of GTA 6 earlier in December. He described the game as "stunning" and assured gamers that the long wait would be worth it.
We had to wait a long time, but now Rockstar Games has released the first trailer for GTA 6. Felix, Andi and Basti looked particularly closely and summarized all the information and theses about the trailer for you in this talk.
