Take-Two is reducing its fiscal 2007 guidance primarily to reflect the movement of the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008, due to additional development time required to complete the title. The title is now planned for release in the Company's second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Good, can't afford to buy it this year anyway.

[Fez]

Good point.

At least we'll have a few extra quid this year

Hey,

I know they have said it is to "allow extra time for development" but to be honest, I think its so their books look good for next year as they will make alot of cash from the GTA IV release.

Its been speculated for a while that this would happen, Its more than likely that Take-Two are worried about their books for next year, so if they push back the release they can ensure that they look good for 2008.

I'm not sure. Whilst you're very right, they could have moved it by two weeks and had the same effect. I think it must be a problem if they're willing to miss out on the Christmas shoppers.

Oh well, looks like I get more time with Bioshock, Halo 3, Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect, and GTA and Splinter Cell next year

I am so annoyed about this. I just read it on bbcnews:

Look on the bright side: Less bugs and more improvements will be made now - its never good to rush a product .
