For what it’s worth, you can find here the previous sales figures for most of these franchises.

Great… now gta 6 single player content will be 10% and MP 90%
GTA V has already a 10/90 ratio, the SP never received any additional content except the very small bonus content they added for the double dippers on next gen and PC, thankfully trainers make some of the MP content available on SP
They used to add the multiplayer cars and weapons into SP up until they dropped support for PS3/360.
The Rockstar juggernaut keeps on rolling.
-Annoyed how giving the game away for free is tallied as sales.
-With how big GTA 6 will probably be.. mark my words… they will probably sell it for $70us
-On a side note… even tho 35million is a huge amount of games sold. I wonder if Rockstar considers that a success to them. When you have a game like GTA selling 100+ million copies and all the microtransactions… would 35million Red Deads feel successful to them? Or wasted time/resources they could have used on GTA 6?
But RDR 2 was release just two years ago, while GTA 5 is seven years old.
GTA is a far more popular franchise and it was released on 5 platforms, the initial release on 360/PS3 was commercially clever because it was in the latest moments of the 7th gen (about 200m consoles sold) RDR can never rival with GTA in sales
yeah true. They did that the previous gens too. I was totally expecting them to do a current gen GTA 6 and release it on next gen systems after. Guess we are def going to get a truly next gen GTA when they announce it next year
My guess is that GTA VI is not going to happen sooner than 2023, they already announced GTA V for PS5 which means they still have plans to milk GTA V for few more years before going anywhere else with the franchise
You are correct. I rechecked the date from the marketing budget story for GTA VI that came out a while ago. it does estimate 2023. Damn that’s far!
I’m not saying that RDR 2 might surpass GTA in sales. What I mean is, RDR 2 might sell quite a few more million copies in the next few years. So far RDR has done exceptionally well.
“I wonder if Rockstar considers that a success to them”
I’m 100% convinced they’re not satisfied with the sales, 35m is pretty low for their standards, not to forget that GTAV costed about 200m while reports suggest that RDR2 costed around 700m, and the fact they released the PC version faster than usual speaks volumes
It cost 700mil? HOLY F#### I had no idea. Yeah guaranteed even with profit they probably won’t ever make a third. Probably be the last non-gta game they make. I will be surprised/shocked if they ever make something else
Nope it was profitable and by far, they did 725m in the first 3 days, it’s just far from their standards, GTAV did 1 billion in the same period and keeps selling 7 years later thanks to it MP
Do you have a source for that 700M figure? The only one close to I can find is some dude on reddit saying it cost between that and 1.1Billion which is absurd. I can’t see RDR2 costing anywhere close to 700M given that GTA 5 only cost 265M (including marketing).
No official sources but solid reports from the N1 VG site in France, and they’re speaking about 800m (It’s a serious and well informed site overall) It doesn’t sound crazy at all IMO, Videogames production budgets never stopped going higher year after year, and RDR2 got a LOT of voice acting and mocap/performance cap, those things cost tons of money, if that Destiny crap and it sequels costed 500m and don’t see how RDR2 can’t cost a little bit more
https://wwwDOTjeuxvideo.com/dossier/1028470/les-20-jeux-les-plus-chers-de-l-histoire/1031238.htm
Destiny didn’t cost 500M, that was just a guesstimate which also included the unprecedented amounts of marketing that went with it.
I think people are seriously over estimating how much games cost to both make and market, MW2 is apparently still the most expensive when accounting for inflation and that still doesn’t break 300M. At $800M a $60 game needs to sell 20M copies just to break even.
Well it sold 35m and the marketing is included in those 600 or 800m too, the fact that Take2 recently made a lot of statements about how their game should sell more than 60$ i think the whole thing makes sense. Really a 600m budget for an open world AAA with juggernaut marketing isn’t surprising IMO, especially coming from R*
Faster? Well only in relation to GTA 5. But before, 1 year was a long delay and many PC ports released faster.
I dont think thats even free, Im pretty sure Epic give a sum amount of money toward T2/R* to released it for free on EGS
Yeah that is true. Still… It’s easy sales boost numbers when it costs everybody else nothing.
on a side note… Can DSO seriously turn off the censoring on the
message board. Seriously… is anybody offened by the word a$$? half the
time comments dont even get approved. just turn off the auto moderator a
notch. It’s like i’m posting on 9th century amish forums. Based on how
ppl talk in the comments. I am sure nobody is gonna be offended LOOOL!!!
It’s wild up in here!!! Turn that s### down!! Seriously doubt anybody is posting from Church wifi
Censoring is a growing cancer taking over the world slowly , there is no more freedom of speech on any platform . I recently heavily criticized Government member of my own country on Youtube , guess what few days later i received a notice that they have banned my google account on Youtube for breaking the community guidlines and my account was nearly 13 yrs old , we don’t even have freedom of speech on Youtube , type words like a*5 or something like in replies on youtube and they instantly get deleted . Heck if you try to write it like a** or a*5 then they are gonna ban you from the platform . Dsogaming is going the same route and I am not surprised .
We’ve had the censored words FOR OVER FIVE YEARS. You can simply write f*k, a*s, p**sy, motherf*ker and everything will be fine. We don’t delete comments (if you were a regular here, you’d know that).
“Dsogaming is going the same route and I am not surprised .”
Be glad DSOG only have to censor (i.e they must censor or lose adds) slurs. Unfortunately the world lacks an anti-censorship lobby that is as powerful as the jewish lobby.
You have no idea how much tougher other websites are.
DSO and YouTube today are probably the freest, YT will delete your comments randomly if you have ANY serious anti-leftist sentiment.
Give money so DSOG can turn off the filter, or else STFU.
Hey political correctness is the most important thing in this insane world and some are working really really hard to be fragile enough to get offended by everything or at the very least find reasons to be – Instead of getting professional help!
Free speech and common sense be damned /end sarcasm.
“Free speech and common sense”
Those are relative values, and in the real world you need to compromise, or you could give money so DSOG stop relying on adds. That’s why i don’t complain, DSOG is a fair place as far as i am concerned.
It has nothing to do with offending special snowflakes or political correctness. It has to do with being listed as a result in Google searches.
im kinda suprised with outer worlds though given the amount of disappointment it brought but personally i find it a decent game, quite immerse too it actually.
“GTA5 has sold 135 million units”
I really hope they did’nt count the giveaway @ Epic Cancer Store, because if it’s the case, we all know where they can put these numbers !!!
I hope they did count cause it would be sad to this average game to get that many copies. 120 million is already enough.
They are such a shame… With all this money, they are not even able to develop a f*cking anti-cheating system !!! GTA 5 Online is still infested of f*cking cheaters, while the game is out since many years…..
