You mean that it has sold more that ALL of the Metroid franchise put together.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition has sold 10 Million Copies
- Thread starter Dale Copper
- Start date
Honestly I played GTA SA on Gamepass for a few hours and it seemed fine. Not to discount the actual issues the game has, because there are plenty, and the put me off of buying the trilogy, but my takeaway was that for like 90% of people the remasters were probably viewed as perfectly fine and got the job done, so I'm not surprised it sold well.
GTA extends well beyond enthusiast forums and reddit I'm not surprised at all that people picked it up
Well I have not bought it even though I had every intention to, so you are probably right!
Anyone know how the remaster holds up now? Have they patched out the the biggest issues? I'm looking to get it soon
To those who say "it could have sold more if they made it better" and the like need to take a second, matter of fact take 4, ask yourself why would they spend more time when the ROI is through the roof on this one.
Marketing: no State of Play or Nintendo Direct announcement
Rework: Minimal, likely minimal man hours too
On top of all this Xbox and Sony both paid to get one of the games from the collection on their subscription service.
This one is real profitable folks.

There's no way this publisher doesnt get bought out right? GTA is just way too big.
Keep in mind theres like ... 2 generations of people who have never played the original trilogy so anything would have been better than nothing to them.

This is above the money Rockstar made from PS Now and GamePass deals.
Sickening.
I remember I was so hyped.

Can't knock the hustle!
They didn't even need to release screenshots to have people throwing their money down lol

I was 100% ready to buy this game, but the lack of pre-release footage worried me a bit (I wanted the Switch version too), so I held off until impressions were out.
Now I'm not touch this game with a 10 foot pole, especially on Switch.
If I want to play ugly, bad ports of the games I'll just play the mobile versions (that this trilogy is based on) which are at least cheaper.
Played on One X, it looked alright but the gunplay was still janky as hell and I couldn't bomb down a street without the framerate grinding to a halt, freezing, then unfreezing right as I slam my car into a tree.
An abominable level of effort. The "lazy devs" argument is often uncalled for, but pinching out up-rezzed mobile ports with mediocre updated controls isn't remotely acceptable for a series of this stature. The near-absence of information and gameplay footage prior to release should've tipped us off, but hype is a bitch.

Yeah, but a patch to do what exactly? They patched it shortly after release to "fix" the rain. And it still a shitty looking cylinder or rain drops that follows you around. They "fixed" the fog, but it's realistic style ground fog so doesn't hide the fact the map is still absolutely tiny. And they fixed most of the spelling mistakes caused by the AI...but that was never exactly breaking the game like the other issues anyway...so...yey?
You can still fall through the map in tons of areas for instance. The collision in the environment is still misaligned meaning you sink 3 feet into the ground in a lot of places. There's still random street assets floating about. Cars still just randomly start flying for no reason.
I mean. Sure it'll most likely have another patch. But I don't see this ever being properly fixed. As far as I'm concerned that rain and fog still needs to be properly addressed.
I wonder how many copies Mass Effect Legendary Edition sold? 2mi? Maybe 3mi?
It's like quality doesn't matter.

My friend bought the game and not only defended the bugs but said he liked the bugs because it made it more fun lol.
How much will GTA VI sell in its first month? 50 million?
I think I'll end up buying this trilogy later, especially if it hits Steam I only own Vice City there.

Still haven't played GTA: San Andreas on Game Pass for more than 30 minutes and don't know if I should play it or not. :|

About this news:
10 millions is a huge number, but I expected even more.
It's a package of 3 popular games on 6 platforms which released about 3 months ago and 10 millions isn't that strange, even considering the low quality of those ports.
For example EA can release FIFA 22 with new box art as FIFA 23 and it will sell millions! GTA is something like that too and 10 million isn't a surprise for me.

The name GTA continues to be all T2 needs to cash in. GT Online is popular enough that they think it's fine to redirect all expansion content to their cash cow. This collection is a steaming pile of shit but sold well enough to justify their delinquent oversight. Fuck.
