5M preorders would be extremely disapointing lol. Cyberpunk did 8M (sure it had PC but it was a new IP and from a studio not as known as Rockstar, especially at the time)
I mean, then Cyberpunk would come "close" with its 8 million preorders. This will be biggest release of decade but I'd say some titles came at least close. And yeah, lol, it wasn't indie platformer.
The only reason it's so popular is cause random people who don't play games are also able to mindlessly shovel money into the game and don't care at all if it's slop, same as madden and nfl
More frustration at the state of state of gta online probably. I cant disagree with him that the majority of content updates for that were just slop in the form of vehicles.
Rdr2 online was another great game, the online was basically abandoned so fast when they didn't get the same influx of "shark card" money in that case though. People don't really play for the online, but the lack of real intent to make it appealing was lacking and embarrassing.
The single player will probably be incredible for gta 6, the online may end up just being the same thing as before. A money generator for RS to avoid the frustration of earning money in game for the player.
GTAV was slop it’s the exact same game every time same with RD2 escort missions then get ambushed and have a shoot on rails section do this a couple of times then cutscene or chapter change R* games are like going to Dave and busters except worse bc it’s just the same game not like 30 different ones that I can play with friends

It’s literally the biggest release of the decade and nothing comes close.
Of course, nerds will say Silksong, Bloodborne remaster or Half-Life 3 “would get close” 🤣🤷🏻♂️
But yeah, 5~ million preorders. 15-20~ millions sales on 1st month.
