Re: Happy to get back in touch

I was actually pretty shocked about the PSP port.  I think what probably happened was they realized that they were wasting a 95 rated game on a console that wasn't allowing the game to get the sales it deserved, so now they're quickly putting it on PSP - probably for $40 - or $32 wholesale

I know that good PSP games can do around 1M worldwide, so given GTA's status if we just apply 1M x about 30M - that, imo would actually be able to replace Bioshock 2 if they delay it and they'll still make the year's earnings.  I think that Zelnick article where he basically said that 'investors are looking for us to breakeven this year and we have to deliver' tells me he has every intention of making it a breakeven year.  So yeah, a 1M shipment of this title in the Q makes me way more confident about the year.
