I'll be frank. I can honestly see GTA V actually digging in it's potential sales and thus, making it's legs far less viable than GTA V.

That and RDR is just not as strong of an IP nor the same kind of game as GTA.  GTA is more the kind of sandbox you can fire up to just goof around in alone or with friends.  RDR2 isn't shaping up to be *that* kind of thing.  Still lots to do, but a lot more grounded.  I doubt it will have the same kind of pull.  It could still sell tons though, Skyrim sold over 20mil with the original release.  It just won't come even remotely close to GTAV and would be lucky to get close to half of that.  And I know it doesn't HAVE to be compared to GTA, but when people are tossing around numbers like 40 to 50 mil, that's kinda what you're doing, putting it in that same category.

I could be wrong, maybe, but I'm fairly confident in that.

I personally don't see RDR 2 reaching 40-50 mill but that'd still be under half of GTA V's lifetime sales though (it's very close to 100 mill and hasn't stopped selling).
