GTA 5 a threat to COD sales

GTAV is supposed to be running on the same engine they used for Max Payne 3, so Im expecting it to look fuckin gorgeous!

Always loved the GTA games but I rather play solo than online due to hackers and cheaters alike. Been playing the GTA series since the good old PS1 day's. I started to play COD after GTA4 wanted to know what the hype was about. Got fed up of COD multiplayer after awhile getting killed but the same dude every 28 seconds went back to GTA again best thing I ever did. My Favorite GTA is GTA San Anderas which I played on the PS2. It's been nearly 4 years since GTA4's release so I think it's about time a new game should come and move on from GTA4. GTA4 is a nice game but I find the city a little limited. Hope they release this new game soon can't wait any longer.

GTA Sucks. playing it only for a couple of hours of repetive nonsense. ill just play the old ones thanks.

I need GTA V in 2012. I check for news like everyday (I know it's pathetic). It's been 4 years since the last one and COD comes out every single year. And not to mention that COD can't even compare to GTA V. I don't think I should even include COD in the same sentnce as GTA V (although I did....twice).  But if R* is going to release it in Oct. then they need to announce more info very soon. Like in the next week or two. Time is running out for a Oct release. It's not like R* is going to announce its release date a month before..... or are they??

I just want gta v COD is too repetitive

As a legitimate 13 year old gamer, I am ashamed of other stupid 13 year olds who buy COD, a boring, idiotic, repetitive disgrace. If they got some goddamn sense, then they'd realise that any game that didn't take at least 2 years to complete - and contains stupid zombies - is worthless. And as much as the wait for GTA V is painful, I'm sure that it will be fantastic, and any bugs will have been fixed. Long live GTA!

October 2012!! I very much doubt that, but it would be great.

 ii think gta v sounds perfect for an october release date, being threaten by flop ops 2 is funny

 I'm only getting GTA5. Not interested in CoD games anymore.

Ok as good as Black Ops will be lets not lie, comparing GTA5 to black ops is like comparing a Bugatti Veron to a broken unicycle. In terms of sales black ops wouldn't stand a chance, I will continue to pray everyday for a GTA5 October release :P

They need to do black ops first week of oct. then gta5 in the midle or end of oct. 2012

ive never been a black ops fan and in my opinion mw2 is still better.gta 5 looks great and fans know what to expect i think that gta 5 would kill black ops in sales because all gta fans new and old know gta 5 will be MORE entertaining and last ALOT longer

I need to poop. Oh yeah, and gta v gonna be sweet. Don't really care when release is as long as we get a trailer #2 in the next few weeks. God damn they know how to lead you on. I'm going to poop now and then go to bed. I ate too much ice cream and I'm lactose intolerant. Now I'm going to drop the Cosby kids off at the pool.

The article is fine, and I do find it awesome how GTA is feared now. Even with GTA IV, less people that I knew were playing GTAs than CoDs, but times seem to be changing. It's like the law of diminishing marginal utility; the more you have of something good, the less cherished it becomes. Rockstar seem to have found the perfect balance in keeping people interested as well as making each game a hyped-up, attention-grabbing event.

This article is terribly written.  I would not likely navigate to this site ever again if I'm looking for information about gaming.

Buying GTA V when it comes out. black ops 2 can wait, its not like I don't already own five of those games. I can survive on mw3 for a while.

They better release it in this decade becuz rite now it seems like its never gonna come out. Ya they want it to be perfect but they are gonna make tons of money either way

COD is big but not bigger then GTA

Dear Rockstar, It is not like we can only buy one game from the store. If I wanted GTA and COD, I'll get both. Don't you guys dare to get punk out buy Call of Duty. I bet you, Rockstar won't make as much as selling the game next year as of this year. Watch and see, see it next year, and that 14 million goal their are trying to reach will be about 9 or 10 millions. Because if it comes out next because of Call of Duty. I promise you, I will not be buying GTA V. -Omar

f**k cod bring on gta 5, i hate first person shooter games...

I will still buy them both.

GTA is such a unique and successful gaming series that I don't foresee anybody, who is old enough to legally buy it, having any problems with waiting longer for the next one. As for the 'first person shooter' market- although some of these games are highly lucrative for their developers, they simply are not in the same league as GTA when it comes to an immersive and emotionally driven game playing experience, and as such cannot be categorised as being in direct competition with each other. First person shooters can be bought more on impulse than GTA games- which are more of a  planned purchase. It's like buying steaks from the supermarket (first person shooters) against booking a table at the finest and probably most exclusive steak house in your country!

no no no, we had to wait a dumb amount of time for the other gta Im not abotu to wait another year for this gta, forget cod, cod is a online game but gta is fun playing solo

What Is The Problem Buying Both?? Ill Buy Gta5 n COD

Well I do love Call of Duty. But I don't know how it feels for Call of Duty for losing sales and Grand Theft Auto 5, Halo 4, and Call of Duty Black Ops 2 is all i'm waiting for.

I miss Spyro the Dragon

CoD games are made on a rotation by two different companies so they can be released annually whilst taking two years to develop, get your facts straight -__-

what happend to the good old days when 1 game company would bring there game out to rival another? it seems to me like game companys now have no cahoonas (balls) as they worried about loosing money,i mean come on thats just pure greed you cant get anywhere in life without taking a gamble a risk its part and parcil of the game industry, they dont understand that if for example, i love gta not keen on cod but theres nothing to say i wont want cod, so does it matter if i get cod on release or 4 month l8r as they still getting my money and its another sale for there records, basically what im trying to say game companys sort your head out look at the bigger picture yeah u might not of made enough money in your 1st week, but that might and probably will even itself up over the month as more people hear about it or see it and go oooooh i want that game.

who cares about cod anymore there all the same, make a new game

Rockstar should bring it out when its ready to come out. not because they dont wanna rival any 1 else, people dont seem to understand even rockstar that if gta v comes out in october or next year it will still outsell any other game to date and for the next 12 months simple as that, some people aint as fortunate as me and cant get the game on release for what ever reason, but i guarantee that its on there wish list right at the top for when they have a spare £50

GTA 5 will be released in 2014

Gta should be released when planned. they are to completely different games. wont effect anything and it it does it does shouldn't change release date just to make black op sales happy.

" while Black Ops 2 will feature zombies, well worth buying the game for this alone" No.
