Following the example of the other companies in the sector, Take-Two also held a meeting with shareholders last night to present the financial report for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2022/2023, which includes the months from April to June 2022.
The company also thanks to the decisive contribution of Zynga, recorded a conspicuous increase in collections compared to the same period last year, quantifiable at + 36%. Sales of flagship video games are also good, with NBA 2K22 reaching 12 million units sold, Red Dead Redemption 2 at 45 million and an astonishing GTA 5 at an astonishing 170 million.
In any case, a careful reading of the financial report of Take-Two Interactive does not escape the less idyllic performance of Gran Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, which after a debut of ten million copies and countless technical and non-technical problems, he has seen his sales plummet.
The numbers don’t lie: according to Take-Two data, during the last quarter GTA 5 sold another 5 million copies, going from 165 million to 170 million; in the same reporting period, sales of the entire Grand Theft Auto franchise increased by 5 million, from 375 million to 380 million units.
This means that almost all of the credit for the growth of the franchise goes to the immortal fifth chapter and that the sales of GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition in the last three months have proved to have little influence on the general picture.
Meanwhile, the promised mobile versions of GTA: The Trilogy continue to fail: Rockstar has assured us that they have not been canceled but postponed. The latest official information spoke of an expected launch during the current fiscal year, therefore by March 2023.
