Rockstar Scores Big With Red Dead Redemption, 5 Million Sold
Red Dead Redemption was met with nearly universal critical acclaim, but it appears that its success carried over to retail shelves as well. In a financial results statement released by Take-Two Interactive this week, the company revealed that the title has already sold more than five million units. Any game that pushes five million copies is doing something right, but the fact that RDR did it in three weeks with essentially a new IP is especially of note.
In other "Rockstar is doing just fine" news, the same statement notes that Grand Theft Auto IV has sold over 17 million units to date.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
