NBA 2K series just as big as Grand Theft Auto series.

COD releases every year so that series is 3-4X bigger than GTA?

800 million at launch, yea 2k will be playing catch up every GTA release. Nevermind were talking units sold carry on. Ps you might be onto something.

We are talking strictly units sold and the cost of development every 5 years that GTA is released.

Aren't 2K and GTA made by the same company or something to that extent?

That's usually expected when games have the same publisher. They expect the same success rate. Like COD & Destiny both Activision. Destiny was one of the biggest releases ever.

We'll see what the sales are like this year. 2Ks reputation has taken
a hit over the recent years because of the never ending server issues
and continued decline in online play. Their marketing has been top notch
but since 2K11 theyve mostly served us poo poo platters and expensive
coasters.

I think consumers are a little more wary then ever before especially
over all the backlash after last years release. Sports gamers started
to question the company as a whole as theyve stopped making NHL,
MLB and Tennis games.

I think the last few years that automatic trust a lot of gamers have had
has started to break a bit.

The good news is the dev team seemed to know internally that the
product that they released the last few years was substandard and
they seem to be dropping the hammer this year.

I dont think any dev team is more connected to their fans then the
NBA 2K dev team and it seems they took the backlash from the fans
seriously. Almost every announcement has been fan requested and
music to our ears.

But to many people theyve been burned by 2K marketing before so
we'll see if they are apprehensive to comeback.

For me the new classic teams sucked me in this year but if the game
is disappointing again I'll probably retire.

GTA and 2K are both essential parts to American Culture, especially hip hop.
