Bioshock Sales Bump Up Take-Two Stock 10%
Bioshock has finally landed and boy are we pleased here at the Castle, but not as pleased at Take-Two must be with a sure-fire hit on their hands. Due to the overwhelming response the game has gotten from solid sales, Take Two’s stock has risen 10%. The Xbox 360 version quickly jumped to the top of the Amazon.com bestseller list, sitting pretty at #1, while the PC version is at #5.
Critics are impressed by the game as well, giving the game nearly perfect scores across the board. GameStats.com has tallied up the reviews from over 24 publications, giving the game an average press score of 9.8.
This is exactly what Take-Two needed after the delay of Grand Theft Auto IV. By pushing the game back, they knocked it from the fourth fiscal quarter in 2007 into the second fiscal quarter of 2008, feasibly losing a considerable amount of profit for 2007.
