Zelnick: It's not a financial crisis, just a 'car crash'

While talking up better-than-expected Black Friday sales at a Reuters Media Summit in New York, Take-Two Chief Executive Strauss Zelnick took a moment to tackle the global financial situation and its effect on the games industry. "I think everyone was encouraged by Black Friday," Zelnick said. "It was better than expectations, but it's pretty hard these days -- being slightly down is the new up."

However, the Men's Fitness flexer refused to label the situation as a "financial crisis," opting instead for an intricate allegory from the Hideo Kojima School of Convoluted Comparison. "We're still seeing the car crash, and the ambulences [sic] are still showing up at the scene," he posited. "Maybe we're in the emergency room, but we're not even in the intensive care unit yet for a lot of these companies. But they will get there."

But do we have an appropriate health plan? Are we under a general anesthetic? How long is the organ donor list? When we flatline, will we be haunted by the ghosts of all the kids we bullied at school?
