Oft-quoted Wedbush-Morgan analyst Michael Pachter speculates that an EA acquisition of Take-Two could delay the much-anticipated April 29th release of Grand Theft Auto IV.
According to Joystiq, which cites a Bonus Round TV appearance, Pachter said:
I think if EA takes over Take-Two, they have an economic incentive to delay [Grand Theft Auto IV]… Take-Two, financially, has to get that game out … they need the money. They need to get it out.
As Pachter speculates, EA might want to delay GTA IV into the holiday season to pump up its bottom line.
GP: Pachter, for whom we’ve got the utmost respect, is way off base with this one. For starters, delaying GTA IV for six months simply to tweak the 4th quarter numbers would alienate legions of anxious GTA fans and signal a very poor start to the relationship between EA and Rockstar’s edgy content.
And, frankly, EA gains an added benefit by letting GTA IV launch as planned. The company can dodge any negative political attention directed at GTA IV by simply pointing out that Take Two already had the game in the pipeline.

Geesh, I hope they hold out. I never did like EA, I do like some of their games but I don't like EA. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

The last Madden was alot better then the rest. As for All Pro Football 2K8, I thought that was the worst football game that has came out in a long time. Madden 08 just needs to get rid of that weapon system that shit is stupid.
