2K has just announced NBA 2K16 has set an unprecedented franchise record, selling-in over four million units worldwide within the first week of release. Digital sales have doubled from last year and online games have nearly tripled.

Quote:

“Our goal was simple, make NBA 2K16 the most playable, authentic basketball experience ever,” said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts. “The development team demonstrated tremendous dedication to recreating every nuance of the sport both on and off-court, which has been the driving force behind our early success.” “Congratulations to 2K Sports on their early record-breaking success with NBA 2K16,” said Matt Holt, NBA vice president, global merchandising. “Each year, 2K has continued to raise their commitment to innovation, authenticity and gameplay - bringing fans the very best with the NBA 2K franchise.”

Simply amazing and well deserved. People were calling me crazy when I said the NBA 2k series was just as financially important as the Grand Theft Auto franchise for Take-Two http://www.operationsports.com/forum...to-series.html It doesn't sound so far fetched now, does it? NBA 2k16 will sell 10 million copies as I predicted before it's release. Congratulations 2K!

Invest, put in the hard work & the rewards will come. Much deserved. Every Developer of any sports game needs to look to this game as a reference point. NBA 2K16 should be the standard in sports games not the exception.

Well deserved with such a great game.


I don't mean to imply 2k was lazy before, just going to say that this is what happens when their is some form of competition.
