Forums - Gaming Discussion - Red Dead Redemption 2 sells more in 8 days than RDR1 sold in 8 years, 17m shipped as of today

Rockstar just knows how to hit them out of the park with their big budget AAA titles. First, GTA V becomes the best selling AAA title in history (and it's STILL selling). Now this.

Doing great already, now all they need to do is release a PS5 Remaster with VR, and I will double dip.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

17 million sent to retailers, not sold to final consumer. But we still need to take into account the digital copies sold.

BTW, if with all these sales they didn't brake even with development costs, they are making a huge mistake not releasing it for PC on day 1.

Insanity. I'd guess ps4 version 12m xbox 5m.

This will sell an insane amount especially when the online will be updated for years to come. Gta v online caught them off guard and it was tricky getting things to work on the ps3 especially but on the xbox one and ps4 there will be no such problems. I wonder will they even discount the game this year.

Probably over 15m sold through.

Yeah, they shipped a ton of these, but I still wonder how they're selling through. I never imagined that gamers would be so starved for this game. It's not exactly an answer for GTA VI. Maybe there's a lot of people that just wanted a big open-world something.

And all of this before the multiplayer

That's cool and all Rockstar, but can we get an update on BUlly sequel?

No but real talk, RDR 2 is amazing. Definitely one of, if not the best games this gen. Congrats to the best studio, hands down. No one comes close.

All signs suggest Bully 2 is their next game. We've had multiple reliable Rockstar insiders mention it, as well as an artwork leak and a casting call leak now. 

I wonder how Rockstar will get away with a Bully sequel in the current social-political climate we live in. A game in this day and age where we play as a teenager who beats up not only other teenagers, but also kids and adults, would give politicians and sjws a field day, they would certainly try to ban it for inciting violence in schools. I remember that Bully raised a lot of concern before release, and many countries tried to ban it. So I think that a sequel with far more realistic graphics, details and gameplay mechanics, will probably raise even more attention.

You would understand the excitement if you played Red Dead Redemption. There are also a huge GTA 5 playerbase who were sold on it being a Rockstar game. Its anything but another open world something, its the best open world game ever made.
