Take-Two achieves profitability without GTA

Published at 2:27 PM PST

Take-Two has announced their results for the three and twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The main take away from the results is the fact that Take-Two was able to achieve profitability in a year without a major new Grand Theft Auto release. This is mainly thanks to new releases such as Red Dead Redemption, Mafia 2, Bioshock 2, Civilization V, Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete, New Carnival Games and their respective DLCs. One other thing the results include is the future lineup of games from Take-Two.

Calendar Year 2012

Notice that Max Payne 3 and Agent are missing? When questioned about it, Strauss Zelnick responded that they don't comment on unreleased titles. Could it be an error? Could it be Max Pane 3 and Agent have been delayed beyond 2012 or is it just they don't have a solid time-frame for release? Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

EDIT: Rockstar has given the following statement to Kotaku regarding Max Payne 3:

We're still working hard on Max, and we'll have more news in the coming months.
