It's gotta be north of 50 million but very likely north of 75 million. 

Netflix sub early access to a GTA trailer was not something I was expecting, lol.

It’s Rockstar vs the economy at this point. The results will be impressive, but we will always wonder what the numbers could have been under better market conditions.

GTA 6 isnt going to sell as much as you guys think it is. The predicitions in here are just crazy

I think itll sell 8 billion copies. One for each person on the planet. Just because that is how crucial this piece of software is for our lives.

Don’t forget the collectors who will buy a spare copy, just so they can display their sealed Ultimate Edition or whatever it’s called.  And if any of them are like Swifties, they’ll buy one of each version across all platforms.  

But I can respect a conservative estimate.

i was actually considering that as i was creating this post and you are right to point this out. this game is easily clearing 10 billion.

According to Take Two, preorders are extraordinary and the are very greatful. Of course it is the most pre-ordered game of all time. Not surprising.

On the other hand, pretty much every platform holder and publisher is grateful and mega happy about Sony and Rockstar's moves. Some are just more secretive about it than others.

I still can't believe we're going digital-only so soon. Luckily, we have Nintendo with a larger physical playerbase to keep physical existing for some time. Though I have to wonder how long before most 3rd party publishers drop GKC and go digital-only on Switch 2 as well. Nintendo is likely pivoting to GKC and/or increasing the price gap between physical and digital to promote the latter, but Switch 2's small storage will be problematic (which is good news for physical fans).

According to Jason Schreier, preorders vastly outperformed their expectations. Of course we dont know what their expectations were. We can just assume they were appropriately high.
