AT latest financial report Take-Two representatives did not focus on how financially successful GTA: Trilogy – Definitive Edition. But by simple mathematical calculations, you can calculate how many times reissues are sold.
Behind three months from release the “final edition” did not reach ten million copies. Since mid-February, Grand Theft Auto games have sold 5 million units (from 370 to 375), but sales gta 5 increased by the same five million – from 160 to 165. Therefore, for the last reporting quarter, all GTA together, excluding the “five”, did not reach the mark of 1 million copies. This means that the autumn collection has hardly crossed the mark of 10 million (and the copyright holder would certainly have announced such a beautiful figure), which is negligible for such a large title.
In fact, the re-release of the “Trilogy” was what fans expected – an easy way to “raise the dough”. But was the game worth the candle? Do financial results justify two years of development and unsatisfactory output quality? We will find out in the foreseeable future, when it becomes clear whether Zelnik and the company will practice the regular release of such DEs.
