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<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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/gta-6-has-not-been-delayed-still-on-track-for-its-november-launch\/\">GTA 6 is not delayed<\/a> further, and will still be releasing on November 19. The company also believes that its $80 price tag is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/take-two-defends-gta-6s-80-price-calls-it-phenomenal-value\/\">&#8220;phenomenal value.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\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.
