360 quite a bit stronger than PS3 - partly due to L&D?

It's goign to skew even more this quarter with the release of Gay Tony and Borderland.

awww boohooo



Not even GTA 4 could save them, what will?

I'm assuming that something starts with a W and ends with ii.



To be fair to TTWO, they had to absorb new acqusitions, and it's not an easy thing to do. Yes, you might have big games, but if the biggest cost in most organizations are the personnel cost, so you have to streamline the organization...if you cut somebody, and then figure out...oooops...I needed them...what do you do then???

On the plus side, with Chinatown wars heading to PSP, iphone and something else, this pretty much ensures that we'll see some more amazingly awesome isometric view GTA's. So anyone with a handheld of any sort should be happy.



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.

Heeeey, the PC made them more money than the PS3. Interesting, what games did they release for the PC? Dawn of War II?

DoW II is THQ...not Take Two.

Oh shit you are right, I remembered I had bought some recent Take Two game, I just don't remember which one. Could have been the Take Two mega-pack on Steam...

Then what did Take Two release for the PC?

Gee lets take a look.

2008 previous quarter = $51.8mill profit, HD hardware breakdown 44% 360, 37% PS3

2009 previous quarter = $55mill loss, HD hardware breakdown 32% 360, 12% PS3

Result: Release your fucking games on all platforms and you profit. Welcome to Sales 101. So what do we have to come? Exclusive DLC on one system and exclusive games on another.

Long term outlook: Fire the management and pray you don't get swallowed by Activision/EA.
