Take-Two Interactive’s financial performance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 reflects a period of transition characterized by a strategic focus on core publishing operations under the Rockstar Games and 2K labels.
- Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, decreased by $137.9 million compared to the prior year, primarily driven by the absence of major 2010 releases like Red Dead Redemption, Mafia II, and Sid Meier's Civilization V.
- Take-Two remains heavily dependent on the console market, with Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo platforms accounting for 90.4% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2011.
- The company maintains a strategy of focusing on a select number of high-quality titles and internal development to build long-term franchises, while mitigating the impact of used game sales through the release of downloadable content.
