Take 2: Thanks a Billion
The second one-billion publisher?
Following on from our report earlier today in which we revealed that Take 2 have acquired TDK Mediactive (stateside), MCV are now carrying a rather interesting piece that suggests Take 2 will imminently become the second billion-dollar games publisher after Electronic Arts. Beating arguably more traditionally weighty publishers like Activision and Vivendi to the number two spot.
Of course much of this must be thanks to the Grand Theft Auto series which has bolstered the firm's coffers so heftily. As an example of their astonishing growth, the company notched-up sales of $155.6 million for the quarter ending July 31st - a 27% increase on 2002's performance. A sound investment all-round.
