My nephew don’t know what the fukk is a red dead redemption. It still needs promotion breh. R* can’t just trot this game out here expecting it to sell crazy. I doubt red dead even sells 1/3 of what gta 5 sells
R* doesn't NEED it to sell what GTA 5 did.
GTA 5 is still making money to this day. They always made bank on GTA which is why some of their side games are amazing because they know they already have a cash cow. Its like Activision/Blizzard with Warcraft. Overwatch coulda flopped and they woulda still been one of the most wealthy game companies on earth. R* has the money to take the risk.
Also, Red Dead Redemption sold 15 MILLION....by ANY stretch of the imagination that is a MASSIVELY successful game. Especially for one with such a polarizing setting.
In fact, if Red Dead 2 sold 1/3 of what GTA V did it would be around 30 million copies...which is what Pokemon Red & Blue sold. It would be the 8th or 9th best selling game of all time...
Your perception of what makes a game successful is all kinds of fukked up...just pulling numbers out of your ass and making anecdotes about your nephew who prolly wasn't even alive when the first game came out...
Your post is riddled with idiocy.
