"Grand Theft Auto 5 is unlikely to release before March 2013, a senior research analyst has predicted. Robert W. Baird analyst Colin Sebastian believes that the lack of information about the game and Rockstar&amp;#039;s commitment to quality rules out a March release or earlier.  &amp;quot;By no means am I convinced that Grand Theft Auto V will miss March, but there are a couple of factors to consider. One, we haven&amp;#039;t heard anything definitive from the company on release timing,&amp;quot; Sebastian told Gamespot. &amp;quot;Second, retailers typically would want four to six months lead time to prepare for a launch as large as GTA, and from what I understand, they haven&amp;#039;t heard anything. &amp;quot;Third, Rockstar rightly prioritises game quality over release date, and this dynamic could shift timing.&amp;quot;  Despite his concerns about the timing, Sebastian is convinced that the new GTA will be a huge hit, shipping somewhere in the region of 14 million copies at launch. Announced last year, Grand Theft Auto 5 is thought to follow the exploits of lead character Albert De Silva, played by Ned Luke.  It has previously been tipped for an October release, following a leaked developer CV. Despite the rumours, Rockstar North has remained tight-lipped, promising more details in the coming weeks and months. Publisher Take-Two, meanwhile, recently confirmed that the title is without a release date. &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Grand Theft Auto&amp;#039;: Most memorable missions Watch the original Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
