GTA V Still Used To Promote Consoles
Typically when consoles are sold in bundles with games, the games are either recent releases, or the bundles were put together close to the system's launch with either exclusive or highly popular games being sold in the same pack as the console itself.
It seems that GTA V's popularity has given it a unique kind of longevity even as a promotional item. Amazon has a tendency to accidentally list items before they're supposed to, which leads to some unintentional information leaks. Most recently, the French Amazon site listed two games with the all new 1TB Playstation 4 bundle.
One of the games should be no surprise. The Uncharted Collection contains the remastered entries of what is arguably the most popular exclusive franchise on the Playstation. It has been put together in anticipation of the upcoming final chapter, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
Regardless, seeing as this site is dedicated to GTA V, it should not be hard to figure out what the other game was... Here's a hint: it was released on current-gen consoles a year ago, and yet it got itself a place next to an anticipated exclusive release.
If the immense sales, continued popularity and constant news coverage wasn't enough (how would that not be enough?!), this should be ample proof that GTA V is one of the biggest juggernauts of the gaming industry. The game has done incredibly well for both Rockstar and Take Two Interactive and the shareholder of the former should be very pleased. Plus with all these promotions and sale, plus with Story DLC possibly coming soon, the game's popularity will only be going up.
The 1TB PS4 is virtually identical to the launch model, save for the storage space, so if you've already got one of these beauties, now would not be the time for an upgrade. However, for late adopters, never before has there been a better time to jump into the current gen.
Any of you looking to pick up this PS4 bundle?
