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.

Hmmm...that little reported $50 million advance from M$ might have helped..from a year ago...but shhhh we won't point that out.

Not even GTA 4 could save them, what will?

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

No, I think they are too proud to admit that, they are still on the "well, maybe we should once release something for the wii, or not, whatever" level, ignoring that it is the dominant market leader.

 

So yeah, they are dooooomed!!!!44!



wow they are dumb seriously release your big title on the wii as well what have you got to lose after all it is the market leader and you are already in loss so take risks.....

don't just release an exclusive dlc for 360...and not for ps3 and then release you big franchise gta on wii...they need to change ceos like seriously why wouldn't you give the wii gta....plus to make wii games it doesn't even cost so much...

Geesh folks...it called Acquisitions (Rockstar, Firaxis)!  TTWO made several acquisitions over the past couple of years, and that is a costly thing...

- 2 maybe 3 or 4 Human resource offices...

- Multiple Corporate staffs

- Multiple health and retirement plans

etc etc etc...it's not easy just merging companies together...they have set a return to profits in 2010.
