For all the Grand Theft Auto fans out there that want to know when you might see the next installment in this very successful collection here is the prediction of Michael Pachter, and if he is right you might not have as long a wait as once thought.
Computerandvideogames.com reports: Self-made superstar analyst Michael Pachter has pointed his crystal ball in Rockstar's direction, and claimed that the next Grand Theft Auto is on target for next year.
"Management declined to state when the game will launch, but has confirmed to us that the game is in development, has been for over a year, and is using the same game 'engines' as the last version." Pachter said.
"Management also told us that the team at Rockstar North is highly motivated to get the game out, and that the team understands that its highest payday will come from working on GTA instead of any other game," he continued.
"When we do the simple math, we conclude that the next instalment is likely to be completed by some time in 2010, although given the frequency of game delays, it is not clear that it will necessarily come before October 31, 2010," he said.
Keep your fingers crossed and lets just pray this is not some BS that we don't see any more about for a year or more.

What can you say here except just call it game of the year, with Infinity Ward's inability to decide on Modern Warfare 2 or Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the posts on most sites read like they are talking about two different games so come on Ward lets make up our minds here.
Modern Warfare 2 won’t drop the Call Of Duty franchise branding, Activision has seemingly confirmed.
Earlier today Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling showed off the “first” copies of the game’s box art via his Twitter account, revealing the Call Of Duty branding above the Modern Warfare 2 title.
While the game was originally introduced with the Call Of Duty moniker intact, it has simply been referred to as Modern Warfare 2 for some time now. Activision explained the confusion over the game’s title in a statement issued to Kotaku.
"Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 is the direct sequel to Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare," said a rep. "We have focused our attention on Modern Warfare in order to most effectively communicate the fact that this is the first true sequel in the Call Of Duty series. Infinity Ward, the original creators of the Call Of Duty franchise, has said from the beginning Modern Warfare 2 resides in the Call Of Duty universe. This is reflected in the title's package."
It’s quite possible that Activision chose to stick with the Call Of Duty branding because it feared not doing so would limit the title’s sales potential. “The Call Of Duty brand association essentially doubles the awareness for the game," research firm OTX told Gamasutra last month.
Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey said recently that he expects Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – which is due for release in November - to be the biggest game of the year, selling 11.1 million units by the end of 2009.
Activision is similarly bullish about the game’s prospects, so much so that earlier this week it decided to delay the release of Singularity to next year in order to “provide a better opportunity to establish the new cutting-edge action IP as a must-have title and clear the way for Modern Warfare 2 to dominate this holiday season."
