Per Forbes or Fortune about 2-3 weeks ago, UBISoft and TTWO are entertaining a merger. UBISoft is out of Paris and makes such games as Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia and owns permanently the Tom Clancy name for videogames. they cannot buy them outright, but they can merge. The sticking point is that EA owns a minority interest in UBISoft.I think this would be a better fit than EA. As a gamer, I hope to god they don't get TTWO...EA's track record of great games recently is less than stellar, at best. Reply

I think gaming piracy is underestimated. Requiring and selling peripherals with a game is a great way to reduce piracy. That certainly helps sales. ReplyTake Four: EA's Bid for Take Two Delayed Again [view article]

"Slack in factory utilization can be a signal of building inflationary pressures." ? I would expect that lower utilization rates for labor or industrial capacity would reduce inflationary pressure. Unfortunately, our current inflationary pressure comes from the weakness of the dollar (due to our consuming more than we produce as a country), and from commodities, given growth in Asia.

Thanks Paul. Fixed. ReplyTake Four: EA's Bid for Take Two Delayed Again [view article]
This battle makes no sense. EA must think it has a chance to be successful. The question is why. Take-two is doing well with GTA. So why should its shareholders take EA's offer? Head scratching. ReplyRodrigues

Typo: LinkedIn's raise was $53M, not $53B as mentioned in the title. ReplyMay NPD Data: Grand Theft Auto Leads the Way [view article]
I think the Hardcore market has been satisfied by the XBOX 360 and both the PS3 and XBOX 360 have seen sales drop due to this market saturation point being met. Now both consoles will see some sales from owners of the "other" system deciding to buy both. Ultimately I think that hardcore gamers already have one system or the other and some of course have both. How many untapped gamers are left on the sidelines? The PS2 sold 100 million units but I think its safe to say that most of those consumers were not "hardcore" and therefore are happy with the Wii and/or a hand-held alternative to expensive hardcore multimedia machines.Do GTA4, Gears 2, and others have something unique to bring more consumers in to the market? Well, no not really. Since all we are seeing this year is a healthy menu of Sequels....not much unique in a sequel that wouldn't have already given a consumer the motivation to but expensive hardware.

Thanks for the statistics. Great to see how video games are contributing to US Economy. ReplyMay NPD Data: Grand Theft Auto Leads the Way [view article]
I don't like WII that much. I like traditional games more. Nintendo has come up with new technology but they are still far away from creating exiting games like GTA. Reply
