Take-two held a quarterly report, the loudest news of which was an unexpected transfer The outer worlds for Nintendo Switch due to coronavirus outbreak.
But there are other interesting points. For example, sales information updates (for the last quarter):
Grand theft auto v – 120 million copies (5 million copies)
Red dead redemption 2 – 29 million copies (2.5 million copies)
The outer worlds – 2 million copies (2 million copies)
Borderlands 3 – 8 million copies (5 million copies)
Kerbal Space Program – 4 million copies
NBA 2K20 – 8 million copies.
Take-Two cannot say for sure whether the simultaneous release of the Xbox Game Pass helped or damaged the sales of The Outer Worlds, but the game is generally considered very successful. True, the rights to the series are now fully owned by Microsoft.
But NBK 2K20, despite a decent circulation, was not able to attract players with its additional monetization – it seems that the audience began to repulse quite aggressive microtransactions in the simulator.
The scandalous WWE 2K20, for obvious reasons, could not achieve the desired financial indicators.
Take-two didn’t report about projects Hangar 13 (Mafia III) and 2K Silicon Valley (studio of the author of Dead Space), but we can learn more about them in the next few months.
Despite the promise to tell more about the departure of the co-founder Rockstar games Dan Hauser, he paid a little attention to the report. Take-Two President Strauss Zelnik only reassured investors, saying that Sam Hauser is not going anywhere and they are on the same wavelength.
In general, Take-Two, however, has an annual fall. But this is due to the lack of releases of the Red Dead Redemption 2 level, therefore, a noticeable decrease in key indicators such as revenue, sales and revenue is natural.
Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 total circulation exceeded 150 million copies
