Revenue means nothing if there is no profit to go with it. Who's to say if the PS3 games were profitable or not. It'd have been nice if T2 included that info with their financials. Then we'd have something to discuss!

Well, 35% of 1.5 billion is more than enough to cover all the expenses of GTA 4 and NBA 2K9 as they were the only big games released during this financial.

I wish that made sense but it doesn't.

 

That the PS3 brought 35% of their 1.5 billion revenue.

 

I'm saying that, 35% of that 1.5 billion is more than enough to cover the costs of the games released and thus the PS3 being profitable for Take-Two this quarter.

 

I can't see why people think it's a bad thing.

Take away the PS3 revenues and they'd be even further in the hole than they are.

@DarkNight et al

look at the report.

total cost of goods is only up 10% - why is this the PS3's fault? there is nothing to indicate it is.

The largest hits are from Production Costs (including materials), Marketing and selling costs, and general and administrative costs. It's in their report.

remember a teeny tiny thing about the price of oil back then at about $150 a barrel and the huge fuel price bump?

If it's no longer in the news it seems people tend to forget rather fast.

Revenue from the PS3 accounted for 35% quarter and 34% for the year. PC only 5% and 2% YoY. axe that devision, it counts for a small portion of revenue.
