GTA Trilogy Remaster Sells 10 Million, T2 Promises Higher Quality for Future GTA Releases

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was anything but, arriving in a borderline embarrassing state for such an iconic collection of games. That said, while the collection was a critical flop, it seems like it’s done more than alright financially. As part of their most recent earnings report, Take Two Interactive announced the GTA franchise had sold an additional 15 million units during the previous quarter. 5 million of those sales were generated by GTA V, so that means almost all of the other 10 million must have come from GTA Trilogy. Of course, there was plenty of pent-up GTA Trilogy demand, so a lot of people automatically bought the Definitive Edition at launch. It would be interesting to know how many folks are continuing to purchase the collection despite the reviews.
The shoddy quality of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy cast a bit of a pall over future GTA releases, including the next-gen versions of Grand Theft Auto V, but during Take Two’s earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick insisted there’s nothing to worry about on that front (thanks to Video Games Chronicle for the transcription).
