I new you couldn"t resist, you keep this up Scott Miller might show up :-) Oh no....Scoot! You know what happened last time he showed up on SI..check out the GTIS thread in early 1998. Hey we have nothing else to do,except read ATVI's daily FUD, damn releases cost money guys, nobody cares, save some money!!! Haha! One unique possibility that presents itself is an investment from an existing software publisher, such as Activision. "They would have to be in there with a non-voting share, and understand the business plan," says Wilson. "If they have a check and do not want to get involved in the day to day operations, it might happen, but I would rather take a billionaire's money over a publisher's any day." Face it, it's priceless stuff! Do you think this is the deal they struck with TTWO? "It happens in every industry where a few large companies are doing a bad job, or at least not as good a job as a few smart people could do," with the obvious implication being that Wilson thinks that g.o.d. will be the saving grace for the industry. I guess he didn't realize the whole industry was going to be in the crapper.....on well. I saw that ERTS beat the street by .02, but I take it they are selling somewhere "over the rainbow" on PS2 in their CC. Maybe I should listen in. I still can't believe that ATVI hasn't announced an earnings date. Here's my favorite quote...from Ron Chaimowitz nonetheless.....who knew that guy was right about anything???? "High royalties accompanied by low sales isn't a successful formula." --Ron Chaimowitz, CEO GT Interactive Later -Scot
