Few days ago Rockstar Games has announced Grand Theft Auto V will push back for a September release. According to CVG Cowen & Company, Doug Creutz analyze and make a statement that Rockstar perhaps delays Grand Theft Auto V for the next gen console PS4.
Creutz make a statement : “In and of itself, the delay of the game from FQ1 to FQ2 would not normally mean any significant change to expected FY14 financial results.
“However there is an issue in that we expect the next generation of Xbox and/or PlayStation consoles to launch in the December quarter. We think the closer proximity of GTA V to the next cycle could, at the margin, impact lifetime sales of the title, though we believe that a title of GTA’s stature will still be a major seller regardless”
“We think there also could be some impact on the legs of likely GTA V downloadable content as the next-gen installed base increases through 2014. However, we suspect Take-Two may have plans to eventually publish GTA V on the next set of consoles in some form to offset this.”
Whilst Creutz suggested there’s a possibility GTA 5 delays could hit next-gen consoles despite the fact Sony teased The future of Playstation, which held the PS4 release date.
