| Take-2's CEO Named "Worst of 2005" @ Gamespot |
|
MarketWatch.com has named Paul Eibler, Take Two Interactive's CEO, as the worst of 2005. <blockquote><em>"[Eibeler] has done such a poor job getting his arms around the company that Take-Two has missed its own earnings guidance for multiple quarters," said Greenberg. "So far this year it has sliced earnings guidance by more than 60 percent to a range of 53 cents to 56 cents a share." Predictably, Greenberg cited the "Hot Coffee" scandal that got Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas pulled from store shelves for several months and "setbacks on the rollouts of newer games"--presumably the delay of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion until 2006.</em></blockquote> There is a bit more to read at <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/theelderscrollsivoblivion/news.html?sid=6140903" target="_blank">Gamespot</a> or you can head to <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/archivedStory.asp?archive=true&dist=ArchiveSplash&siteid=mktw&guid=%7B3C3ACCDE%2DCC12%2D4D1C%2DBB71%2D0483577E5CD7%7D&returnURL=%2Fnews%2Fstory%2Easp%3Fguid%3D%7B3C3ACCDE%2DCC12%2D4D1C%2DBB71%2D0483577E5CD7%7D%26siteid%3Dmktw%26dist%3D%26archive%3Dtrue%26param%3Darchive%26garden%3D%26minisite%3D" target="_blank">Marketwatch.com</a>. |

So far this year it has sliced earnings guidance by more than 60% to a range of 53 cents to 56 cents a share, after the company's hot-selling game, Grand Theft Auto, was given the dreaded "adult' rating by the video software industry's rating group. The company has since suffered a series of setbacks on the rollouts of newer games -- a perennial problem at Take-Two that appears to be getting worse.

In the end, the buck stops with the guy at the top and at Take-Two that would be Paul Eibeler.
We had a bad harvest this year, so we burned the village chieftain for failing to win favor with the gods. |

They also don't have much to do with Oblivion since they are just a copublisher and are just helping out Bethesda with the publishing and distribution of Oblivion. |
