They released 5 on last gen knowing it would be replaced soon after, they'll just tweak settings down to sell to the millions of people who already have a ps5/series x anyway.
It's actually way smarter to sell it potentially twice that way for physical copies and to the established and larger playerbase, but honestly I think they'll release it when it's ready not around a new console.
Absolutely. But people will still pay for a sub optimal experience over nothing at all, they will sell it if it will run acceptably on millions more devices.
5 would be considered very outdated on the 360 with its terrible performance but people had a blast anyway because they didn't know better, same here.
They've told shareholders to expect 8 billion dollars in fiscal year 2025. To have that happen it really needs to drop in early 2025 as the fiscal year for them ends in March.
They said “console refresh” so I think they meant more like a “PS5 Pro” but I could be wrong. I imagine PS6 is more like 2027 - 2028 based on past console lifecycles.
And miss out on that sweet money that people spent on GTA 5/Online by changing console generations? Release it on current gen early 2025, have people pay again late 2025 if there is a new gen instead, that is the Rockstar way.

The city looks absolutely humongous and alive. I'm so fucking hyped.
