EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich, talking with NowGamer, talked about the potential sales of Grand Theft Auto V. The prediction comes just days after gamers could start pre-ordering the game and just one week before the second trailer comes out on November 14.
"The HD market is softening as we enter into the tail end of this generation, but fortunately this softening has had little impact on our precious AAA titles," said Divnich.
"I have little concerns about when it is released," Divnich continued. "GTA IV already proved to the market that even an April release, which has historically been avoided by the industry, can support a 20M+ title. Whether April, June, or even Winter, I’d expect GTA V to sell in upwards of 25M copies in its first 12 months."
