Dave Karraker speaks on GTA IV delay
A lot of people were disappointed by the announcement of Take Two that GTA IV will be delayed. However, SCEA PR boss Dave Karakker seems rather unfazed by this turn of events saying that “No single game makes or breaks any PlayStation platform.”
He gave word that it’s only natural that hardware manufacturers would want to see Grand Theft Auto IV on the shelves as soon as possible. However, this is considered an important franchise by Sony, and the company had expressed its support for Take-Two to take as much time as it needs to make a great game.
He further stressed the point that no single game makes or breaks any PS platform, and that they don’t rely on one hit game. He said that “We [Sony] prefer to offer consumers a wide choice in software, appealing to a broader audience beyond just the hardcore gamer.”
Karraker made some good points that can be said about most consoles today. Players who have been waiting to get their hands on GTA IV may have to wait a little bit more, but it’ll be worth it if Take Two releases a well polished game.
