GTA VI - Trailer 2 and new screenshots

That just doesn't seem right, but who knows at this point. The gaming industry is just messed up, whether its hardware or software.

If the game launches in Nov 2026. It will be 1 year late. Internal Xbox and PS console sales forecast will be linked to GTA6. It's expected that tens of millions of gamers with buy a Series X or Series X just to play it. A true short term exclusive.

This makes it less neccessary to envigorate console sales by launching PS6 in late 2027. It allows more breathing space to break even/turn a profit on hardware sales. The last thing you want is short term financial pain from gamers holding off buying a buying a PS5/PS5 Pro for GTA6 because a PS6 will be released in late 2027.

It's a signifigant game like a Frozen movie or Taylor Swift tour that has a billion dollar impact on its industry.

I hope we'll see a 3rd trailer on Thursday to drum up pre-orders!

I am sure there will be, but I don't think they need to bring out any trailers. If they just kept us all in the dark with only what we know now I believe the game will still be the best selling launch game of all time. Rockstars track record is solid. Would be an interesting trial to stop all advertising and see how it goes. Of course no one wants to play around like that, especially with the money put into the game.

Saw some gamer podcasters, or whatever they are called, report that GTA IV is going to be all digital. Even if you buy the game from a local store, the case will only have a digital code in it, so no physical discs at all which means no used games ever. Based on that I will just be buying a digital copy myself. It is supposed to download and install a week before release so on release day you are able to play right away.
