GameStop exec reveals release margins for Tekken 6, BioShock 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Assassin's Creed 2 |
Ó
Answering an earnings call, GameStop exec David W. Carlson reveals the release of four major titles by October and November. Noting that GameStop is a US retailer, the only conclusion we can make out of the info is that the release margins are for the US, and we can only speculate on how it's gonna be for other regions.
Here's what he said, responding to a query on new titles:
Yes, the new title base actually looks very very strong for the second half starting in the fall obviously with Madden, Rock Band Beatles, youÂ’ve got Guitar Hero 5, the new Halo 3, and Batman as I said earlier, and then going into October with Tekken 6 and BioShock 2, and then going into November with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, AssassinÂ’s Creed 2, and we believe thereÂ’s a couple of Nintendo titles coming that have not been announced. So, it looks like actually a very very strong fall and holiday season.
So based on what Carlson has said, it's October for Tekken 6 and BioShock 2. For November, it'll be Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 plus a few unannounced Nintendo titles. We already know Modern Warfare 2 is due out on November 10th, while BioShock 2 has a vague Q4 '09.
Given that those four titles are multi-platformers, it's not clear if all versions would come out all at the same time, especially for Tekken 6, which has a PSP version that the three other titles do not have.
Should there be differences in the platform releases, it's unlikely that they'd be far apart anyway.

You may as well take possible release date information from a 5 year old. These are always off by a month or at some times a year
damn straight!! just look at MH:Unite, it was supposed to come out in march and now its not til june...
I thought microsoft was done milking the series. I guess I was wrong . Lemme guess another GOW coming out later on? How original. A remake with legend status like FF7 is something you'd "expect" but, this just shows how desperate they are .

There's a frikin bug that double posts or something because I've seen this quite a few times in the few past topics . CAN YOU FRIKIN ADD AN EDIT BUTTON !?!?! Bunch of lazzy assess. I'll even click ads for you guys if you just added the damn feature .
Dude, where have you been? the new Halo 3 news has been announced long time ago. Its Halo 3 ODST
But still this game applies to the series. I'm just sayin' If you want to get it go for it . I'm just tired of even hearing the word 'halo'.
They're "desperate" for making sequels to games that sold millions upon millions, with pretty much a guarantee that said sequel will sell even more millions upon millions. Makes sense
HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO
I just had to, couldn't resist the temptation.
I never said it wasn't a good financial decision by their part. All I said was that it has been "milked", meaning that the series sold well but that's all that they can rely on and sooner or later it's going to bite them in the ass. Look at Nintendo, Sony or any other company that invests in different games and or "people". For example Sackboy, Nathan Drake, Rachet, Kratos or like Mario, Fox and like Samus as well. Many different characters that represent said companies ( and are very good at it ). Xbox is JUST HALO that's it . GOW? Not even .
PS:Master chef If you like the Halo series, then by all means go play your heart out. All I'm saying is I had my dose of Halo ( A LONG TIME AGO) "NOW WHAT"S NEXT?" I won't settle for one "good" game. ( does not imply to 3rd party)
I'll get back to my Infamous and free online Killzone2 now, enjoy. +D
First off "bless you". Second the way you over exert yourself makes me wonder what other things you can't hold back on during "normal" daily life situations. Then again what is "normal"? . I hope you didn't type ALL of that though, you could be playing ohh IDK, halo?
