    I fully agree with Bruce. I think this is beneficial for both TTWO and UBISoft, as well as the industry. And it would put pressure on both EA and ATVI, from a consumer standpoint, as suddenly the two ring circus has a third (not counting the omni-present Nintendo, of course)

    As a TTWO stockholder and a gamer, I hope these two can find a way merge.     Reply

    UBS Analyst: Activision Unlikely to Approach Take-Two [view article]
    >>>also pointing out that there remains some uncertainty about the contract of "GTA" developer RockStar, whose contract expires early next year.<<<
    This is simply not true. Although there are some contracts for a few high level R* execs, the 'developer' Rockstar does not have a contract with TTWO . . . they are fully owned by TTWO.     Reply

    UBS Analyst: Activision Unlikely to Approach Take-Two [view article]
    Forbes this weekend suggested UBISoft is currently looking at a merger with TTWO. Positives for this are complimentary games, the fact that both companies have licensed their games for movies (Bioschock, Prince of Persia), UBISoft has stated they would like to get into sports (TTWO has a sports stable of games) as well as the previously stated desire of UBISoft to have franchise games. TTWO has the biggest franchise of them all in GTA, while Bioshock looks to be a potential big franchise as well.

    Negatives to this merger would be that UBISoft cannot buy out TTWO due to a lack of cash, and that EA actually owns 16% of UBISoft.

    I would prefer this route for TTWO rather than the buyout as EA is inept for many differerent reasons, most of which its games are mediocre (at best), the offer price severely undercuts TTWO's true value and quite frankly, I don't care what Wall Street thinks, as most of them had TTWO rated a hold or sell prior to this and well, they were dead wrong then and they continue to be dead wrong on the value of the company now.

    Let's hope UBISoft and TTWO can pull it together, as that company, with its talent and stable of games, would definitely challenge ATVI and EA in time. The games offered by those two have better stories, longer replay value and in the end, more interest and innovation than EA's tired sports and movie licenses or ATVI's Guitar Hero (how much longer can the popularity of this TRULY LAST?...I have GH and Rock Band...not too sure I need any more editions of either) or COD (its going to get old sooner rather than later and I love COD4...but every idea has its limits).

    In the end, the future blockbuster franchises are clearly more prevalent with TTWO and UBISoft than the other two and these will be the games customers buy in the future. Guitar Hero is old, Rock Band's been done...I simply see a better future with more GTA's, more Bioschocks, Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six, Tom Clancy's, Mafia's etc...than the latest Harry Potter Game, COD 35 or anything the other two have.

    Holy Dow - Fast Money Recap (6/5/08) [view article]
    Castration – Needs To Be a Constitutional Amendment:

    The So-Called-Master-Mind of 9/11 – Can be Castrated and left in prison – To forever know – He’s going to His Heaven of Virgins – Knowing – It His will be his living hell - Forever.
    And with The Constitutional Amendment - anyone that destroys another life – Through manipulation and flat out fraud and theft - on a massive scale – Like all the sup-prime steal your house – destroy your dreams – mortgage company exec’s .

    Until these so-called entitlement people understand – there will be consequences for what they do – They will just keep on doing it.

    You destroy the American People – or The World people – on a massive scale – You will forever be sent through your after life – Being less than a man.
    If your eye offends you pluck it out – if your hand offends you chop it off – if you offend the world – They will cut them off. Americans doing there patriotic duty - Calling for a just and fair Constitutional Amendment – To insure Justice for All.

    These charts do not tell us when the analysts took their positions. Too often the upgrade/downgrade see-saw is just telling us what we already know and the market has already reflected. Reply

    "Sell side" analysts were discredited a long time ago and readers should be very careful. They get on the "buy" side after a stock has run up and vice versa. Rarely with a timely call, but always part of the herd mentality. Private quality research goes to those who pay for it, not this mass produced junk. Reply

    Maybe FRO is too easy for the analysts to understand. Make a lot of money and send it to the shareholders. Why is it always so scary to investors when the yield is high? Isn't that the ultimate idea? Reply

    I have owned fro for years, taking huge dividends and also trading a fraction on its easily-spotted oscillations - making money, All that time analysts have by and large hated it. Will anybody ever learn that there is no such thing as analysis?
    A successful analyst would keep the info to himself and by now he'd be drinking cocktails in the Caribbean.     Reply
