Take-Two has released its fiscal 2010 Q1 financial report, dropping always thrilling financial news on us about the company's performance between November 1, 2009 and January 31, 2010. Aside from a $13.8 million year-over-year increase in net revenue ($163.2 million this year over $149.4 million last year), Take-Two also reports a diminished net loss (again, year-over-year) to the tune of $20 million.
Take-Two also updated investors on current sales of several games and franchises, with GTA IV chocking up "over 15 million units globally" to date, NBA 2K10 already shipping "over 2 million units," and Carnival Games accruing 6 million units sold worldwide across both Wii and DS platforms. That's gotta be helping with that improved bottom line, eh?
Aside from those highlights, the investor report additionally notes plans for "a targeted restructuring of its corporate departments," resulting in a "15 percent reduction in corporate headcount." More shocking, the "restructuring" (read: layoffs) will amount to "approximately $8 million in savings in fiscal 2010." Holy cow!

I would like to see more companies dumping the suits rather than the talent and muscle.

I guess a lot of those execs couldn't answer those probing questions...

I wouldn't automatically assume these are executives. I know Joystiq did the title that way, but the actual statement just says "corporate head count". At most businesses that encompasses anyone that works in the home office... everyone from the receptionist(s), to HR, to Benefits, etc... on up to the actual executives.

What the hell is wrong with take-two. Don't they obviously know the reason their games sell is because of those fat-cats up top? They obviously make the games single-handily, and hire those developer peasants for charity.

You should buy even more stock and then when the next GTA comes out sell it all!

Your problem was buying stock at a high point. If you are just in it to make a quick profit the main rule is to buy low (much before GTA4)

If they feel that the management that redundant, then good on them. I'd like to see more companies in all fields think about this. The layers deep management structures of some companies baffles me. My last employer was horrible with managers managing managers managing managers who couldn't manage their way out of a cardboard box, in the first place.
