gta-iv

HMV games boss Tim Ellis has said yesterday’s announcement of Grand Theft Auto V will bring a new boost to the market. Ellis told MCV a new GTA launch is “a fantastic development that would inject huge excitement into the games market for fans, retailers and media alike,” adding Rockstar would “face the challenge of delivering another brilliant game that’s as good if not better than anything we’ve seen before.”

GTA V’s first trailer airs next Tuesday at 6pm BST.

25 million sales estimated for GTA V, says analyst

gtaivart

Non-stop GTA V, it seems. Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia has put an estimated number on the game’s sales, predicting as much as 25 million copies moved for the Rockstar title. That would put it on par with sales of Black Ops and 3 million more than GTA IV. The prediction is near that of Wedbush’s Michael Pachter back in the summer, who said GTA V would sell 24 million copies.

Bhatia added that an announcement of a release date in next week’s trailer would be “positive for the shares.” Take Two shares were up last night following the initial announcement.

Thanks, Gamasutra.

Another day, another GTA V spotting or rumor hits, and then is debunked or removed, respectively from the net. Today’s latest comes from a Gamestation listing of pre-orders and release dates spotted by Gamerzines, which was subsequently pulled and replaced with another list with nary a mention of GTA V. Rockstar has yet to confirm the game exists, and retailers have been known to list placeholders in the past for both confirmed and rumored games. Thanks, GameFront.
