GTA IV Past 10 Million, Carnival Games over 2
Posted by Christophor SuperGuido Rick, 92 days ago Sep 4, 2008 17:20

Take Two filed their third quarter numbers this week and the highlight, aside from massive profits was that sales of Rockstar Games’ blockbuster Grand Theft Auto IV continued to exceed the Company’s expectations. Over 10 million units have been sold through to consumers as of August 16, 2008.

Carnival Games, a wholly owned and internally developed title for the Wii and Nintendo DS, has shipped over 2 million units since its debut in late August 2007.

2K Play will be expanding the franchise with Carnival Games: Mini-Golf for the Wii in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Ben Feder, Chief Executive Officer of Take-Two, noted, "I’m extremely pleased with our strong position heading into the holiday season. Our world-class holiday portfolio includes Grand Theft Auto IV, Top Spin 3, Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution, and Carnival Games, as well as upcoming hits such as Midnight Club: Los Angeles, BioShock for PS3, and a range of sports titles. Longer term, we’re sharply focused on bringing our popular products to new regions and new markets, as we continue to seek opportunities for profitable growth and enhanced stockholder value."
