GTA 6 - it's going to be massive. At least, that's what one reader believes as they make some bold predictions about the highly anticipated game's launch next year and its potential impact on the gaming industry.
It's safe to say that GTA 5's success has been mind-blowing, with over 200 million copies sold. The reader confesses to being taken aback by this impressive number, especially considering it was last reported to be around 100 million. This puts it far ahead of any other comparable game and perhaps even in a league of its own. The reader compares it to the blockbuster hit Avatar, but notes that it has even more dominance in the gaming world.
Although GTA 5 has been out for over a decade and has spanned three generations of consoles, the reader argues that its accomplishments cannot be downplayed. It's an incredible feat that is unlikely to be matched by any other game, except for maybe its successor, GTA 6. And even then, the reader doubts that GTA 6 will slow down the sales of GTA 5, especially since it will only be available on next-gen consoles.
The gaming industry is currently facing some challenges, with job cuts and uncertainty from Xbox and PlayStation. However, the reader believes that the success of GTA 6 is out of their control. Unlike these companies, Rockstar has the power to influence console sales and other aspects of the industry. With the release of GTA 6 next year, everything is going to change.
It's no secret that GTA 6 is the most highly anticipated game of all time. With over 200 million fans eagerly awaiting its release, it's sure to make a huge impact. The reader points out that even if only 10% of GTA 5 players purchase the game in the first week, that's still a staggering 20 million copies sold. Most games would be satisfied with a couple of million sales in their lifetime.
The reader predicts that the release of GTA 6 will be unprecedented. Gaming has already surpassed music and cinema in terms of sales, but the most anticipated sequel in the best-selling franchise ever is going to be like a meteor hitting pop culture. It will overshadow even the biggest hits like Halo and Mario, making them seem like obscure cult games in comparison.
Not only will GTA 6 be a massive success in terms of sales, but the reader also believes it will do wonders for the sales of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. They suggest that Sony should have made a deal with Rockstar for exclusive content or a console bundle. This would be a smart move considering the number of people who will buy a next-gen console just to play GTA 6.
However, there is a downside to all of this. The reader points out that any other games released around the same time as GTA 6 or even in the same decade will struggle to compete. Nintendo, in particular, should be worried and should aim to release the rumored Switch 2 in the spring before GTA 6's autumn release. Even then, they will still have a tough time competing with the hype surrounding GTA 6.
As for other games and franchises, the reader suggests that they will be crushed by the sheer dominance of GTA 6. Even popular games like Assassin's Creed and Monster Hunter will pale in comparison. And with the release of GTA Online 2, the reader predicts that the GTA mania will never end. It will continue to sell and attract players for years to come, potentially even eclipsing popular games like Fortnite and Apex Legends.
In the end, the reader believes that GTA 6 will not just save the industry, but it will become the industry. It will be the biggest and most talked-about game for at least a year, if not longer. And with its massive success, it will also bring in new players and boost console sales, making it a game-changer for the entire gaming industry.
