Take-Two saw $1.2
billion in net sales for the fiscal year ending on October 31, 2005. That is much less than the previous year. The
company cites R&D expenses as the culprit, but we can't help but think the NFL 2K loss at the expense of EA's
exclusive deal couldn't have helped. The publisher also announced they wouldn't be hitting their Q1 2006 targets
either. From the article: "Another reason Take-Two won't make its previous Q1 FY2006 guidance is today's
revelation that two major 2K Sports titles, Top Spin 2 (Xbox 360, DS, and Game Boy Advance) and College Hoops 2K6 (Xbox
360, PlayStation 2), have been pushed back from their January 2006 release dates. The official reason given for the
delays was to 'provide additional development time.'"

That's a shame. I was really looking forward to Top Spin 2.

Anyone who's had the unfortunate pleasure of enjoying from some of the many bugs in Take Two's 2K6 sports games lineup would've known this was coming. The signs were all there:
Games released with obvious bugs, impossible to get any support for any issues, very slow roster updates schedule and patches that don't actually fix what's being patched.
Take Two delaying games doesn't come as a big surprise to me. I just wish they'd done that with some of the games I bought though. With any luck they might've had far fewer bugs left in them.
