Now, in a Take-Two earnings call, the publishing company&#8217;s CEO said the number of preorders is &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; across the industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strauss Zelnick said, &#8220;No one&#8217;s ever seen anything like this before at Take-Two, or in the industry.&#8221; He went on to add that exceptional preorders don&#8217;t always equal exceptional sales, though. &#8220;To be clear, we haven&#8217;t sold one unit yet. You can cancel a preorder.&#8221; <\/p>\n<div class=\"video-embed-block alignwide wp-block-gamespot-blocks-video-embed\" data-video-id=\"895045\" data-player-type=\"youtube\" data-youtube-id=\"sd7eykZkzN8\" data-jw-id=\"WCmqwj6B\" data-age-gate=\"\" data-autoplayable=\"0\" data-ads-disabled=\"0\" data-container-id=\"video-embed-38\">\n<div class=\"video-embed-container\" id=\"video-embed-38\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Zelnick declined to comment on sales expectations, he said, &#8220;The news is great so far, we&#8217;re incredibly excited. We couldn&#8217;t be more excited than we are, and yet we are realistic and, at best, cautiously optimistic. We&#8217;re going to leave it at that until the thing occurs.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;The level of preorders is unprecedented and astonishing, and we&#8217;re grateful for that.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claims came after Take-Two affirmed that GTA 6 is not delayed further, and will still be releasing on November 19. The company also believes that its $80 price tag is &#8220;phenomenal value.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/gta-6-preorders-are-unprecedented-across-the-industry-take-two-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the launch of GTA 6 preorders in late June, it immediately became apparent that there was, unsurprisingly, huge demand for the game.
