The Smartest & Dumbest Things Take-Two Interactive Did In 2012

kotaku.com: Sometimes you just have to buckle down and put out good games. Take-Two Interactive—and their branches, 2K and Rockstar—did a minimum of futzing around this year, instead releasing a relatively slim, high quality roster. Almost all of Take-Two's sequels improved upon their predecessors. Rockstar brought back Max Payne, fatter and drunker than ever, and his vacation to Brazil was some grim fun. They also showed off the long awaited Grand Theft Auto V. So far, so good.

Skipping the Wii U as not a bad idea. It's better off if they wait and see if third party support dries up (like with other Nintendo consoles) before they put games on it.
And why bother putting games on a console that just launched when you can put them on the ps3 and xbox 360 which have 70 mil owners each and are the same power or even more powerful.

The PS3 and 360 don't have 70 million owners.
Yes, there has been 70 million PS3/360's sold but a lot of them are replacements or upgrades.
I've had two of each console myself.
The older ones didn't break or get RROD/YLOD, i just upgraded to the slim versions.

GAMERJET70d ago

The fired Rock Star Games staff were likely at-will employees, which means they could be terminated by the employer for almost any reason. Doesn't make it right, but it is what is.

There is no such thing as this in the UK. You can never just fire someone for no reason.
