Forums - Sales Discussion - How can Take Two possibly lose money on GTA4's release?

There, fixed the thread.

It's not just a case of whether it makes more money than is put in to it. If my company spends 10 million on a product and gets back 10 million and 20 bucks... We've only got 20 bucks to spend on every other possible cost. Grand Theft Auto was supposed to make them a lot more money than they banked on it making. That's why they're posting losses.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Yep it's not about loosing money on GTA IV, because they have made a profit, the problem is that they have expected much more money from this franchise to fund other projects since its their biggest property.
