Rockstar says GTA IV still on track for October despite delay rumorsDela @ Jun 06, 2007 09:15
Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter speculated that Take-Two, Rockstar's parent company, may push back GTA4 to avoid competing for sales with Halo 3. "We believe that it is possible that the company will choose to 'throw in the towel' on FY:07 by shifting the release date for Grand Theft Auto IV by a few weeks, increasing the losses incurred this year and improving the company's prospects for FY:08," Pachter said.
He added: "We believe that a two-week delay would provide a reasonable gap between the launch of Halo 3 and the launch of GTA IV, and would actually help sales of both games. In addition, a delay of the 'normal' SKU for GTA IV by two or three weeks could allow Take-Two to maximize revenues from the $89.99 Collector's Edition of the game by shipping that SKU on October 17, and to increase overall profitability."
Both Halo 3 and GTA IV are expected to have enormous success when they are launched.

Halo 3 is scheduled to be released on September 26th and GTA IV is set for October 16th in the U.S. and October 19th in Europe.
