You'd think that a delay into the drought that is Spring would help sales of the title and ultimately stock prices. Must be a Fiscal Year and profits projection thang.

Investors don't realize that a better game will help Take-Two in the long run a lot more than a holiday release would.

The good news is that the stock is now under-valued due to a knee-jerk reaction from investors on this news. Time to buy some stock!

Now that's EXTREME STOCKING.

I also sent in a tip, though I'm not sure if this effected it much, but they confirmed that GTA V would be skipping 2010 altogether.

Yeah it's crazy that a new IP could hold so much weight. (Regardless of whether it should be made).

Look's like the pressure is on for Mirror's Edge and Dead Space.

@ Snake Robot Podium

Except, Bioshock 2 is not a 'new IP' any longer. Bioshock WAS a new IP. The sequel is not. If there was such brouhaha over the original prior to it's launch, I would agree with you. But the reason there is such a stink over the delay is because the original is already a known factor of quality. People's expectations have been set that 'Bioshock = awesome' and therefore a delay is cause for some concern.

Also, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Uncharted, are no longer 'new IP' since the games have already been released. Games like Borderlands ARE still new IP.

Take a second glance at that chart again. While it did drop noticeably, look at the scale. That mofo is zoomed in pretty far.

I'm ok with the delay actually, It gives me more time to buy and play the first Bioshock. Gotta get around to that sometime...

This wouldn't have happened if they'd announced Ken Levine's new project at E3. Just sayin'.

That looked like an impressive drop until I realized it was only about 80 cents.

Sure, that's 10% of the stock's worth - so if you owned a ton of Take Two, you might have lost a little bit of capital there, but it'll come back when BioShock 2 actually comes out.

I really dislike it when charts are crazy blown up to throw a gain or loss way out of proportion.

I don't know if you can blame that all on Bioshock 2. I hear Tim Geithner muttered something asinine around the same time.

Well, I guess we know why recent Eidos and Midway games always felt like they needed a little more time in the oven. Thanks capitalism!
