Take-Two posts profit, Red Dead Redemption ships 'nearly' 8 million

No dude. For a game like RDR, 8 million is very impressive.

not that 8mil is not impressive but i thought RDR did more than that maybe 10mil?

@Little_Socrates Yea I've heard nothing but good things about the game from reviews to my friends who played it. I don't really mind to much that it remsembles. GTA4 because that is one of my favorite games this gen. I'm just afraid it will be so familiar that I'll get bored of RDR quickly. Thats why I'm waiting for more price drops before I buy it.

I'm glad it's such a big success, one of the best game this year by far. So much reason to keep playing after the main storyline, and that's the kind of game I like. No 8 hr campaign followed by nothing to do bs. Plus how can you forget the Undead add-on, a completely new campaign. Not as big and deep as the original storyline obviously, but enough to keep playing. This is what you call a full game that doesn't make you pay loads for DLC to get what becomes a full game after paying $80+

i want the pc version with super graphics

RDR for the PC - PLEASE!!!

About time. Funny how Take Two has so many money problems considering the great games they produce. Guess they suck with money...or they really want to fund great game development.

its funy how piracy dosent effect good games, only crapy ones ;)

I don't know why ROCK STAR didn't even announce anything about releasing RDR for pc. IT must be yes or no

Boy EA dropped the ball big time this year...no pun intended.

red dead redemption is the best game these year i hope rockstar shows gta5 and agent at E3

C'mon guys, it's totally Grand Theft Horse and therefore IS a GTA year...

So much for piracy killing the industry - lol!

Seriously, where is Red Dead for PC? dont even say piracy issues cuz console piracy is out of control too.

this result show how gamers are smart they buy a game worth their money,even take-two which is a fames studio because of grand theft games has to make good and fun games as good as grand theft to make money.

Wheres Red dead for PC!!

They deserve it, Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games I have played for a while

The game is one of the best looking games this generation on consoles, imagine how good it would look on PC.

REDEMPTION its awesome i hope sequel coming

Great job Take Two! Way to post black : ) Personally, I love Red Dead!

Red Dead was and is way too overrated but it's achievements is impressive.

and Marston loses the VGA best character award to some idiot from Black Ops... sad

Take-Two > Activision

Red dead was great, but it needed more multiplayer game modes included on the disc, there was really just deathmatch and capture the bag with team/free for all variations, not very open minded on what the west could of done for multiplayer

Would have been an even bigger profit if they'd released Red Dead on PC as well. Not that I'm bitter I don't own a console or anything...

L.A Noire,Duke Nukem, Spec ops,XCOM and not to mention Bioshock Infinite, all those potentially AAA titles coming up in the next 2 years and published by 1 company (Take-Two), i`m surprised they are not bigger than Activision!!

they definetly deserved it this year, red dead was one of the best experiences on any system and the undead collection just adds to that.

Now bring on GTAV.

Eight million satisfied people. Sounds good to me :)

@Little_Socrates, if you haven't played the next gen GTA then please don't compare it to RDR. I understand that you may have played GTA Vice City and it is in many ways similar to GTA 4, but the change in atmosphere and the tweaking of the mechanics do a lot for the general game experience. The story and characters, also, change things a TON! Another valid point is that in GTA 4, things take place in the age of information. You kill someone, even if they're a mugger, and everyone knows it and the police are after you. That's not the law of Vice City in the 80's, and if you find a bunch of coke heads taking a woman hostage, you can ice them, and you'll actually gain fame and honor for that. I haven't played GTA Vice City, but GTA 4 is much more expertly crafted than the old GTA games. Overall, they're all the same in story and characters anyway so this game has pretty much been done before

red dead redemtion is just that good :)

f the numbers and expectations, just make good games :-)

I'm glad they're turning a profit - big fan of Take-Two titles - they have some of the best stories in the entire gaming industry. Hope they're putting out games for years to come.

RDR was simply the best among everything this year.

Wow, impressive numbers for sure. I still havent had time to sit down and play this one yet.

RDR had flaws which didn't keep me playing it. Hopefully they have patched the game so I can continue. TT deserves the money, so congrats and give me GTA:V already.

Quite simply, I enjoyed RDR instead of GTA because in RDR, you can actually conduct yourself like a decent human being and still do most of the content. Marsden is a brilliantly sympathetic protagonist. Only a few little flaws, like the clumsy controls for lassooing, infinite bandits and IMHO a bit of a silly ending dented it for me.

RDR was a completely awesome and beautiful game with good frame rates, beautiful lighting, beautiful shawdos, lots of alph textures, and hd resoultion....all on 360 that is.

Glad to hear RDR sold gangbusters for Take-Two, as I'm a big fan of their games. Looking forward to L.A. Noire, Duke Nukem, and whatever else they offer next year, as I know 2012 will be a great year for them with BioShock Infinite on the way.

Time for an Ultimate Edition....

if any game is worth playing than its RDR........way to go Rock*

if any game is worth playing than its RDR........way to go Rock*

Well deserved

awesome game - loving it

I do hope this encourages them to greenlight a PC version of Redemption - looks like a great title well worth the effort even if it suffers GTA4-esque PC growing pains.

Well deserved. RDR was in my top 3 this year; God of War III 1st, RDR 2nd and New Vegas 3rd.
