Grand Theft Auto franchise reaches 125 million sales

4.7
Since the launch of the very first Grand Theft Auto, the franchise has shipped over 125 million units to retailers.
With Grand Theft Auto: IV accounting for 25 million units alone.

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick announced the achievement at this year's Credit Suisse Technology Conference.

Zelnick claims that part of the franchise's success is down to their irregular releases. Zelnick used the Call of Duty series and their annual release as a comparison, remarking that Black Ops 2 is performing poorer commercially than Modern Warfare 3 had done.

"That's never been the case with one of ours," said Zelnick. "Ours do better each time.”
”IP that is annualized eventually seems to hit the wall and we don't want our IP to hit the wall."

DGR21 GTA does well because they take time between each game. Instead of a new game each year like cod they actually use a different better engine each new game, update features, and increase the gameplay value. Why do studios like rockstar win awards(game of the year) and the best cod can do is win best shooter, and thats sometimes. It's about quality, not quanity.


The damn truth. I applaud this comment. And the best about it is that it never gets old either. I still play all the old sagas at home and school. CoD stales in a matter of months.


Truer words have never been spoken!
