No it won't. People will still pay top dollar for a GTA game a long time after release and not everyone is going straight to next gen as soon as the systems launch. GTA online will also be incredibly active for some time to come

My guess is it will stay at full price at least through the end of 2013, and it will outsell all next gen titles combined during this time.

Nah only the hardcore are going to get next gen machines this year. Everyone who's ever liked games is going to get GTA5 this year.

Doubt it. I think the demand will remain high enough through the end of the year for it to stay full price.

It'll drop in price once there is a notable drop in sales at full MSRP. I'm going to guess that probably 90% of GTA V purchases will happen within the first 2-3 months, so I expect the price to drop shortly after the holidays.

If there was a PC version on release then I would agree but not the console versions. Heck Steam or Amazon would probably have it on sale for 50% off 4 months after release on PC version.

Gamestop already has Saints Row 4 on sale for $49.99 (consoles). I'm telling you, it won't take long!

lol that's putting way too much stock into a "next gen" console. Games take priority over hardware. Most people only get next gen consoles when the games they want are on them. The ps4 and xb1 are diminished by not having the must-have game of the holidays, not the other way around.

It probably won't price drop until Black Friday. You will probably see some retail sales for it leading up to Black Friday though. On BF it'll definitely be $40 or less I bet.
