Apparently not even a massive release such as GTA V could save the declining game market this year. That is, if GTA V was to miraculously be released. In an interview with VentureBeat an analyst from Robert W. Baird & Co, Colin Sebastian, has said that if GTA V did get released this year, the market would be in a modest decline at best. EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich agreed with Sebastion’s below comment.
Given the current momentum of the market, I doubt any major releases, even one of GTA V’s size, would push the physical markets back into the positives.The traditional gaming sector is under an enormous amount of downward pressure at the moment, and it will require a strong catalyst to shift that momentum.”
Webush Security’s Michael Pachter said that even if GTA V was to hit a massive sales number (such as 700 million) it would make up “…less than 10% of the expected overall software sales this year.“
No date has been given for a release of GTA V yet but if the game market is in such decline they could just make two Call of Duty titles a year which would pretty much cover 99.7% of sales. Problem solved (though a CoD overdoes would likely add a few new hassles of its own).

I still can’t wait to get this game i think it will be awesome
I really should get around to completing GTA IV. One day, I’m sure…
Did manage to finish GTA IV, but still need to play the two DLC games.
I seriously doubt that GTA V will release this year as half of the year is done and we know nothing of this game. The only info we have to confirm that this game even exist is a launch trailer and that’s it. If there is ever a game that needs to be hyped it is GTA even though it doesn’t need it.
I Seriously Hope The Pc Version Won’t Be Getting Any Importing Again After My Last GTA Was Freely Given To Friends Like Father Christmas.
NO MORE
I think we gonna see an end of year release like Nov, Dec, im calling it now.
You will be my hero if it gets released this year lol. I really want this game to come out this year i need and i will call it Game of the YEAR
GTAV exists… It must, because its the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now… and so we’ll hunt it… search for it… because it can take it… because it’s not a hero… it’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector… a thing of pure awesome… It is… a Dark Knight Game…
