I'm not quite sure why they're so concerned. I suspect they're actually not and this is just things "analysts" say.

I suspect that the release of GTA VI is going to be lukewarm compared to the release of GTA V, because everyone remembered what Rockstar did to GTA V. People are going to wait around and see how they handle GTA online because they need to do better than last time because last time was ridiculous.

I'm certainly not all that interested in getting it day one and I know a lot of other people aren't either.

GTA5 is more than a decade ago,.

The older gemers may remember but there is a whole generation that has spung up since.

Edit: a quick look shows there were 1.7 billion people born between 1995 and 2007 i.e. born in the period that would have trurned 18 between 2013 and 2025.. This corresponds to 20% of the global population.

Nice of you to assume there are no underage players of GTA V

Released a fantastic game worth replaying multiple times?

GTA Online =/= GTA V
