One research firm fully believes that Take Two needs more big releases to stay competitive.

Cowen has predicted that next year will see the release of both and V.

One Cowen report read: "With just nine weeks until the end of FY10 and no announced release date for the title, we now assume 'LA Noire' will be released in 2011, and have removed it from our FY10 revenue build. continues to struggle with timely title releases. This presents risk to our FY11 estimates, which continue to assume the next console 'GTA' release in 2H:F11."

Given Rockstar's love of long slow hype-building it is unlikely that GTA V will arrive in 2011 but LA Noire is certainly on the cards.

Thanks CVG.
