Take Two and Rockstar recently reported that GTAIV has managed to rake in a total of 15 million units sold worldwide since its 2008 launching. As the Liberty City Episodes DLC is expected to hit the PS3 at the end of March, gamers are already looking at the next entry for this world famous gaming franchise.

It looks like it won't be too long of a wait, according to an analyst. Mike Hickey of Janco Partners revealed that the next game off the series will be unveiled even before E3:

“...there is building suspension for a pre-E3 GTA V announcement, although we expect nothing from Rockstar at this year’s official E3 event.*GTA is one of those franchises that’s so huge that Rockstar doesn’t even need to do it at E3; Rockstar and Take-Two could hold their own event and announce the title in the days leading right up to E3, when many publishers often do hold separate press events.”

In addition to that, Hickey makes a bold prediction that GTA V will outperform GTA IV's success:

“We think the next iteration of*GTA for console can significantly outsell its predecessor, reflecting on the sales acceleration of the prior cycle*GTA console iterations, an accelerating core gamer installed base*and the most talented / motivated development team in the world, in our view.”

Well, before you start hoping that these predictions will prove correct, stay tuned here for only the official announcement from both Rockstar and Take-Two's end.
