So says leading games analyst Michael Pachter. A huge number but come on it’s GTA IV, so this was to be expected.

“We are relatively unimpressed with Take Two’s lineup for the next
financial year with the glaring exception of GTA IV,” Pachter said. We expect the game to sell nine million
units and generate $135 million in operating profit, or 103 per cent of
the operating profit Take Two would earn at the high end of management
guidance.”

Thats a ton of cash. Hopefully with this success we’ll see that GTA MMO. Please?
