GTA had enough time between releases to build anticipation, I guess. It looks pretty damned good to see a single game with such a budget and so much manpower behind its production manages so many sales. From a business standpoint, I'm sure the guys behind Halo or Call of Duty or even New Super Mario are happier making money almost annually as opposed to a HUGE payday after a five year wait. Still a monumental achievement.

Really?

New Super Mario is released once per console, Halo is like one game every 2 years.

Almost annually, I said.  And yeah, I know.  I bought all of them ever made. Halo and Mario. Still a franchise that's come out on various consoles several times while GTA has come out once since 2008.

Your whole posts treats Rock star like they make nothing, but GTA.  For a developer and not platform maker they sell way more than most on multiple IPs. They have the freedom to do what they want which is rare.
