Nah they all tried and flopped and shit themselves. Doom has been on steep sales 2 months after release, so did ninja gaiden. Many companies did course correct their price and a lot of the 50 bucks games have seen amazing sales numbers overall. The players have shown pretty clearly what they're willing to endure and the industry follows suit or goes out of business.
>>
>>741551514
Nintendo isnt flopping, they're the ones pushing the hardest for high prices.
>>
>>741550447
It's going to flop and be the next Concord, taking Rockstar to the grave.

By flop I mean, the revenue won't cover the cost of making the game, making it a loss, and thus a "flop" financially. And I also mean, it will be quickly forgotten like Concord, perhaps they will even discontinue certain online-only and optional planned paid non-day-1 DLC features, as it wouldn't make sense to throw good money after bad. So, both definitions of "flop."

They won't even admit how much they've spent on this game, they don't break down their internal financials like that. But they have something like seven thousand people working on this game, and they've been working on it for a decade. IBM's Project 360 had fewer man-months of investment, and (though we may never know) likely a smaller budged adjusted for inflation.

If this game fails, it can take the ENTIRE AAA model with it. Every studio's had AAA flop after flop for a decade or so, successes rarer than failures for sure. Exclusive or multiplat. Flops are the rule. And now that there's no more USAID to prop up games studios, they have to make real revenue. They can't fucking DO IT! LOL

Trust me this all goes back to Gamergate, Trump getting elected, and finally Musk killing USAID, which we now know spent tens of billions per year on "deradicalization" entertainment media including video games, TV, and movies, PER YEAR. In a way, 4chan is responsible for consoles dying, AAA dying, and it's all going to accelerate from here.

They are doing less volume but making up for it with higher prices because certain people just buy everything Nintendo.

Sony and MS are doing the same, everybody is chasing the spenders now. Games where you buy the game but you pretty much HAVE to buy other shit, have been the rule for a decade now. The RULE! It's clear they can chase this market and make more money, they are essentially dealing drugs to addicts now.

$80 Mario kart world and Fire emblem
$80 switch 2 versions of games

They're the ones pushing for $80 and Rockstar is just following them since 89.99 euros is $80 USD like Mario Kart world.

Just like Mario Kart World.

Be real, there have been crazy NEETs on GTA V for 10 years straight who will immediately jump on GTA 6 for another 10 years. On the internet, there are people who have to be in every group and have a huge FOMO for everything. On every social platform, this is all they'll talk about, and you have to monetize it. In schools, kids need to feel current and edgy. This has always been the GTA audience.

They could easily fuck the game up so badly that people don't want to buy it. Easily. It almost seems doomed to fail. Duke 3D took much less time to finally release, they've spent billions on this flop no doubt.

Just watch and remember the gods punish hubris. It will be a She Won! future game, girlbosses, and Orange Man will be in it. Just a train wreck of woke DEI culture.

>>741552480
on a pure dollar value its a high level product if you compare it to $70 games from other devs

marathon ($40) + yoshi and the mysterious book ($70)

versus

gta 6 (between $70 and $100)

plus gta6 isn't going to have the issue of rdr2 where you play it once and its satisfying but you're basically done for a while, because gta isn't locked to cowboy times
>>
>>741552370

So an 79.99 game actually costs up to $88.30 including TAX.

Still nothing else that comes close. For practically every other tentpole release there's always some huge section of the consumer base you can immediately write off. Latest sportsball? Plenty of people have no interest in sports at all. Forza? Ditto with racing. Elden Ring? Too nerdy and hardcore. Zelda? Chad Warden don't play with no dil-do. GTA is probably the best-positioned franchise in terms of roping in people from all over, obviously missing only the most autistic contrarians and maybe some Nintendo adults.

even if you DO take the trannyera data, that's still a hard cap of 120m on a game that nintendo is going to never reach again

besides, even if the total install base is lower, the percentage of "only the triplest of A" gamers is higher, which is the prime demographic for a GTA.

>>741550291
hah, i'm waiting until it's 20-30 bucks. NO fucking way am I gonna pay $70-100 for one game. I don't care if it's GTA.

Besides, I'm sure i'll be busy with backlogs of games from september anyway.

Anon. I could afford thousands of copies of GTA6 prices at 100 a copy. But that would be a huge waste of my money.

Besides, I already have a fucking backlog of games to go through. By the time I finally get around to beating the games I want to play, I'm sure GTA6 would be discounted to $30. I rather just wait for a good steam sale than buying it at launch especially when I know it's gonna sit there unplayed until I finish a portion of my backlog.

I bought gta 2 and london from poundland in the early 00s, bought 4 for 5 bucks and I got gta 5 for free from timmy tencent. None of it was worth the price of entry. Why is everyone so obsessed with this shitty franchise
>>
>>741550418
who cares? nobody is buying that shit as it is
>>
I can't believe Nintendo would do this to us

>it will be cyberpunk all over again
They will make a GTA 6 anime with a loli character?
>>
>>741553573
that anon is correct though. there's no way Rockstar is going to make their money back. they may break even but that's it. you don't understand how much money they wasted on this game and it shows.

thanks sony for raising prices 24/7

Why would consoles with smaller install bases get "double the views"?
Doesn't add up.
