GTA VI Will Sell 18m Units, Costs $80m Already

Time for a weekend GTA 6 news blurp...

Michael Pachter, an analyst for Wedbush Securities, has been spitting out some interesting things again. This time he is reported to have said that Grand Theft Auto VI will sell at least 18 million units and possibly up to 24 million - knocking Grand Theft Auto IV off the top spot. No exact timeline for these numbers but GTA VI has sold over 20 million units after 3 years. Pachter went on to say that Take-Two has probably already dumped $80 million into the unannounced game - a figure that revolves around the assumption that GTA VI is well into development.

In addition to GTA VI, Pachter believes Max Payne 3 will cost about $80 million and sell approximately 3 million copies. Not at the level of the GTA series but a good sell for Rockstar Games who are gearing up to market the nearly forgotten title.
