Take-Two had a reasonably busy few days, saying the delay of GTA 6 and all. However there was one other attention-grabbing tidbit of reports to be discovered contained in the investor report.
That’s proper, all people’s favorite cowboy simulator Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2 has sold-in a staggering 79 million copies, which brings the franchise as much as a complete of 106 million models offered.
Notice: sold-in is a time period used to imply copies that had been offered to retailer, whereas sold-through refers to copies really offered from retailer to buyer.
That 79 million copies means Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2 is now the 4th best-selling sport of all time. The Wikipedia web page has already been up to date, displaying that cowboys at the moment are higher than Mario in a go-kart by roughly 980k copies. Suck on that, plumber.
It’ll very possible seize third place quickly as nicely, presently occupied by Wii Sports activities which has offered 82.9 million copies.
As soon as it grabs third place on the leaderboard, Rockstar will formally have two of three best-selling video games of all time, with GTA IV boasting 220 million offered in 2nd place.
Minecraft is the present leaderboard king, at 350 million copies and counting.
In fact, when GTA 6 lastly will get its arse in gear and really launches, there’s an excellent probability it’ll catapult itself up that board at a charge which is able to make heads spin and inventory costs head for the Moon.
Apparently, whereas Take-Two was completely satisfied to boast particular numbers for RDR2, they nonetheless haven’t issued any official gross sales knowledge for Borderlands 4 which Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick described as being “softer” than anticipated. Then once more, they identical doc additionally didn’t embody numbers for Mafia: The Previous Nation which they appear more than happy with, so I assume we simply don’t get numbers today till they enter the realms of oh my god, it offered how a lot!?
