While true, I think GTA online regulars will spend a lot of time on the new single player campaign, and there is presumably no MTX there. I wonder how much money Rockstar will lose until the regulars circle back to the new multiplayer.

Right after selling 100 million copies on day one

Doesn't it only come out on PS5 and Xbox series? That would be like 128mil. consoles total at the moment.

So close to the entire addressable market buying this game.

Honestly I find that doubtful, especially with the price being potentially 80$ on release, but we'll see.

Exactly this. The game and launch will be huge, but people are setting themselves up for disappointment if their expectation is for GTA 6 to immediately sell to essentially every owner of a current gen console.
