Forums - Sales Discussion - How much money did Take Two really make from GTA V?

I am currently doing an Accounting project in University which requires me to do some research on Take Two. I assumed their quarterly data for Sept 31st would be leaps and bounds better than the March 31st quarter but to my shock their was barely an improvment in the income statement, balacne sheet or even cash flow statement. The reason why their stock increased was due to destroying expectations set by analysts. When I took a look at the income statement

The publisher only takes around 60% of the profits after VAT and retailer cut and I assume they don't get the money straight away.
