“Fiscal 2012 was a year of creative, operational and strategic achievement by our Company.
We delivered groundbreaking titles, including L.A. Noire and NBA 2K12, which set new standards for excellence; grew our revenue from digitally delivered content and mobile offerings; made substantial progress on our online gaming initiatives; and bolstered our already strong liquidity through a convertible notes offering.
While our financial results were disappointing, the decisions we made position Take-Two for growth and profitability both this year and over the long-term.”

this is more than just a case of fans waiting for it as i seem toi recall reading somewhere that this title has shipped loads more than the other two, its purely down to the fact that this is a really good game! i had no interest in the first to max paynes but will definitately give this one a try
a bit of both.
it would not be selling as well as it is if the original 2 were not so popular!
