NBA 2K19 Is The Series' Best-Selling Game
NBA 2K19 (which is a very good game) is now officially the best-selling game in the series ... but it doesn't stop there. Take-Two Interactive announced that the title is also the best-selling sports title in the company's whole portfolio.
The news came out of a recent earnings report (which also had good tidings for Grand Theft Auto Online), revealing that NBA 2K19 has a sell-in of 12 million units.
Also interesting is the fact that Take-Two says recurrent consumer spending (i.e. microtransactions) in NBA 2K has grown 140 percent. So, no matter how outrageous in-game purchases may seem to some gamers, others are clearly willing to fork over some real money for virtual rewards.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
