PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will sell over 111 million units by the end of the year, according to estimates made by IDG analysts and cited by Take-Two during the latest meeting with shareholders.
According to the report, the ninth generation consoles will mark a +37% compared to the previous projections provided by Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, while for 2027 and beyond the numbers will even reach 175 million units.
Clearly the publisher’s forecasts are linked to the push that the GTA 6 sales they are apparently destined to help spread the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, increasing their installed base in the coming years.
The anticipation grows
“We’re using IDG projections, which are quite sizable,” Zelnick explained during the meeting. “As far as the ninth generation alone, their opinion is that at the end of last year they were there approximately 81 million consoles all over the world.”
“According to the projections they provided, this number will go up to 111 million by the end of this year and will reach 175 million by the end of 2027. We don’t necessarily agree with these predictions, but it highlights some truly remarkable growth.”
Clearly “we expect a very significant attach rate for GTA 6”, concluded the Take-Two CEO. As we know, the new chapter of the Rockstar Games series will be released in autumn 2025 and everyone is expecting a resounding success.
Furthermore, at that point two other ninth generation consoles will also be available on the market, namely PS5 Pro and Nintendo Switch 2.
