Forums - Sales - Is The GTA Series Dying CNBC Is Pondering It

I disagree. GTA4 sold really good. The DLC was never goin to sell amazing. Infact 1M sales of an online only game is pretty decent. As for the DS game i never expected it to do well but it could prove to have legs so we will see



Long Live SHIO!

I think a single game selling 13M copies indicates that it's as strong as ever. Some DLC for a game thats been on the market for over a Year shouldn't make ppl consider that the series is dying. And a Hardcore game on a "Casual" hand held should count also. If anything look at the GTA PSP sales

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Well GTA IV was obviously a disapointment, but rockstar has learned its lesson and their next games will be good, trust me



No it's not dying. GTA China wars is an example of when a company chooses to market to the wrong market segment.




LOL, L & D isn't available to the PS3 owners of GTA IV.

GTAIV is going to outsell Vice City in all likelihood. It probably wont outsell San Andreas, but with the revenue from the DLC (and assuming the higher game price covers the extra HD development expenses) it should make TT more money than either game did.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Well the problem is that after the lackluster GTA4 (compared to San Andreas, and compared to its own perfect review scores), exclusive DLC didn't seem worth the money anymore for most people. Most people don't buy GTA games for the story anyway.

And DS gamers don't know about Chinatown Wars YET. Its legs shall grow. Also, it's a very casual game, and if the casuals find out about this new portable one, it can explode.
