Take Two降低05/06财年预期

彩虹泪珠

2K game和Rockstar的母公司Take Two日前宣布调低05和06两个财年的收入预期。这部分是由于GTA:LCS欧洲发售的延期。同时公司其他的新老游戏销售也都不如预期，同时公司认为新硬件的发售会对其假期市场带来负面影响。

公司预报05财年净营业额11.8亿美元，而之前的数字是14亿。

由于公司在XB360上的大作上古卷轴4延期到06年第二季度，06财年预期收入也受到影响，而由于之前日本市场对GTA的不良反应，PSP版日本发售已被彻底排除在2006财年之外。调低后的新2006财年预期收入为13.5~14.5亿美元。

唯一的好消息是，Take Two确认了新的一作PSP版GTA，游戏有望在2006年发售。

Take Two Reduces 2005, 2006 Fiscal Guidance
As a result of submission and approval delays, as well as poor legacy and ongoing sales, publisher Take-Two Software, parent of labels Rockstar and 2K Games has announced a drop in its financial guidance for both fiscal years 2005 and 2006. The announcement came after issues in the submissions process for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories' European version caused the game's release to slip from the fourth quarter of 2005 to the first quarter of 2006.

Other factors in the lowered 2005 guidance include reduced orders for both Take-Two's back catalogue as well as its new releases, which affected both its publishing and distribution arms. Take-Two is forecasting a weaker than expected holiday season as well, due to the launch of new hardware, and has lowered its estimate in that regard as well.

The company is now advising investors to expect around $1.18 billion in net sales for the 2005 fiscal year and $0.53 to $0.56 in diluted net income per share. The lowered estimate comes on the heels of the company's third-quarter results, in which Take-Two had already lowered its estimates for the year; the new guidance is 18% lower than the $1.4 billion previously expected.

For the 2006 fiscal year, Take-Two is currently predicting $1.35 billion to $1.45 billion in net sales and $1.15 to $1.45 in diluted net income per share. The company also reduced the first-quarter 2006 earnings, due to delays in the company's software: Xbox 360 game The Elders Scrolls IV: Oblivion will not be out until the second quarter of 2006, and the Japanese release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas seems to have been moved out of fiscal 2006 altogether, possibly due to recent Japanese controversy over earlier versions of GTA, though no reason was given for the delay.

"It is disappointing to reduce our financial guidance," said Take-Two CEO Paul Eibeler. "However, we remain optimistic about Take-Two's overall prospects and the favorable dynamics of our industry. For Fiscal 2006, we are well positioned for the opportunities to extend our brands across the large installed base of current generation platforms, as well as next generation hardware including the two previously announced Rockstar Games titles for the PSP, one of which is a new Grand Theft Auto title." Following the announcement, Take-Two's stock plummeted in after-hours trading, with shares down 10% to $18.63 after the disappointing news.
