No i dont!. Read my last post, PC versions "IS" the fastest selling Nextgen version!.

Since within 2 weeks its already outsold the PS4 or the X1 version and is on its way to out selling both combined by the end of the month!.

And no, shipped doesnt have to Be next to very close to sold since Rockstar could of thought the was going to be much more demand for this game then the was.

And also i showed you a site and its even linked to in my OP that shows that the PS4+The X1 only sold 3.7 million GTA5's combined in their first month. So please dont be using Shipped numbers to go against real numbers..

But you are wrong.PS4+Bone version have 10M, PC will never achieve that within a month, it may even never achieve that. Now about single versions, considering PS4 has the biggest share, that version must have over 6M sold. Which is 3x what Steam has. Will Steam surpass 6M in a month? Most likely not.

 

The 3.7m figure you constantly quote is a prediction from... Pachter? Seriously? Do you really not know who Pachter is?

Now it just needs a Wii U release and it may sell another million.


Alot of Nintendo gamers including me think

Nintendo + PC  = you have every experience thats possible. (the rest offers stuff thats typically PC "type" of games/similar stuff thats also offered on PC)

So why would Nintendo gamers want a WiiU version now that they have the best version running on their PCs? 

I would have bought a WiiU version 1 year ago. Now it would just be a waste of money.



Seriously Rockstar could have changed the WiiU third party problem on their own by releaseing the game on WiiU with  the gamepad showing showing individual dashboards for each car manufacturer with full radio controls etc. and several different types of GPS models also with menu and where you could set your routes etc.

Also the players phone could have been shown on the gamepad and could be individualized etc.

They had the chance to become the only third party studio that actually sells on Nintendo and they failed.

From your article dated Dec 22 2014:

"Pachter now believes that Take-Two will ship 5.5 million copies of GTA V for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in its current fiscal quarter, with additional re-orders of 1.5 million to follow by the March 31, 2015 end of its fiscal year"

 

Rockstart quarterly results for Q3 15 (ending Dec 31 2014):

10 million units

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2015-- Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO) today reported strong financial results for fiscal third quarter 2015, ended December 31, 2014

I wont bother quoting your other post since this one is pretty much the same so i can give the same answer.

Your wrong once again and it shows that you are good at only quoting what you want.

1. where your saying "Pachter now believes that Take-Two will ship 5.5 million copies of GTA V" is his pridiction. From the same site i linked to it also says "NPD data for the month of November confirmed that next-gen Grand Theft Auto V sales vastly exceeded our prior expectations. GTA V on next-gen consoles sold 1.47 million units including pack-ins in the PS4 Black Friday bundle," Pachter said. "We estimate that there were an additional 368,000 digital unit sales of the title, for a total of 1.84 million units. This suggests worldwide sell-through approaching 3.7 million units in November alone"

Thats hard data stright from NPD unless they are now telling lies too??.

2. Ok Rockstar shipped 10 million in 1.5 months and lets say within 1 month they sold 7 million

Let's not say that, the game doesn't have 3 million or 30% of its production on store shelves. It is probably over 9 million actual sales. Rockstar is one of the biggest names in the industry, if anyone knows how to manage inventory and not under/over ship, it's them. Considering the game is still $60 the game had a easy time to reach that amount. If it was bomba there would be more copies on stores and it would have gone through price cuts.

2. NPD=/=world, sigh. Even then, it would have only needed to sell 500k in the rest of the world (and digital in the US) to sell faster than PC. And this is just the PS4 version alone, you claimed it sold faster than PS4 PLUS Xbone version. Lawl, the PS4 version alone was faster.

Look since clearly you cant show me what i asked for and is now just going by made up facts ill go by the real facts thats been posted!,and going by them the PC version is the fastest selling nextgen version! im sorry you dont like them facts and are doing everything you can to downplay this great news but ill just leave it at this and wont reply back to you good luck..


What the hell are you talking about?  The facts are right before your eyes,, look at them. If GTA V on PS4 sold 1.5M in retail on PS4 in the US alone in just 2 weeks, than it was over 2M worldwide as it and the Xbone version have sold 10M combined together over the next month it was on sale. Your "fact" is a prediction from the worst analyst in the industry.

So yes, the PS4 version is the fastest selling next gen version. Why not admit you are wrong and correct the error?

Uh no. On PS4 and Xbone it sold 10M in a month or so.

Like i said in my last post combined it sold 3.7 million in its first month on sale on PS4+X1 combined heres a link http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-12-22-next-gen-gta-v-sold-1-84-million-in-november-analyst

Do you have a link for it selling 10 million in its first month on Ps4+X1?? otherwise PC is the best selling nextgen version so far with sales rising instead of lowering. And remember thats only steam sales like i said in my OP truth is GTA5 PC sales are most likely already at 3 million as is.

That's one of Pachter's guesstimates.

Honestly, even VGC is consistently more reliable than him.

Read the whole post NPD numbers put the PS4+x1 combined at 1.84 million his guess is that since its 1.84 million combined in the us that it was at 3.7 million WW and imo thats a pretty good guess as if it was at 1.84 million in the US id also put it at around 3-4 million WW too, Unless like Turkish your going to believe that the WW sales are going to be around 8 times the amount of the US sales??.

It's not a good guess. Pachter just took USA numbers, doubled them, and said "yeah, that should work, why not".

There's no way USA is 50% of GTA sales, I'd put USA sales at 35%-ish of the total, it's much more realistic.

That would mean about 5.25m WW. With PS4 being about 2/3 of that, so 3.5m on PS4.

VGC has it at 3.9m, for the record.
