Newzoo Estimates GTA VI Could Sell About 51 Million Copies in Its Launch Week
An analyst model, not sales data: $3.25B to $5.2B in week one, with a central estimate of about $4.5B. Take-Two has given no number.
Reported — this is a projection by the market analyst Newzoo, resurfaced by Variety on November 12 and reported by GTA BOOM on November 13. It is not a figure from Rockstar or Take-Two.
Newzoo put first-week revenue at $3.25 billion to $5.2 billion, with a central estimate of about $4.5 billion, roughly 51 million copies. GTA BOOM says the model was built from about $180 million of early pre-order spending in the US and Europe.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said pre-orders are strong but has never given a number.
The limit of this story: a projection is still a projection. The real numbers come from Take-Two after launch.
