I LOVE GIGGS said:
I bet if you ask developers and publishers what is their opinion of this delay, 90% will tell you they are happy with that news. it is the “black hole” many developers are suffering from. It will take players time and money from other games. We shouldn’t be happy to see 100% increase in gaming revenue when it is only 10 games that control 80% of it. Don’t get me wrong, Rockstar deserves all the success with this franchise and I wish them well. The problem is the new players purchasing behavior rather than the publisher. |
Everyone is happy to not launch near Rockstar but I was more talking about the industry from a financial standpoint, being flat or decreasing in growth in the overall industry isn't something investors want to see, so in that sense GTA 6 was meant to bring spending up, at least we still have Switch 2. Having said that, it's unhealthy to pin all hopes on GTA 6 as well, since that's just one game.
Next gen only GTA 6 will be the thing that makes the majority of Xbox One/PS4 users upgrade though.
