Said Pachter, “Both GTA games will do well, but only Gay Tony this year (fiscal year ends October 31).”

He also wasn’t able to resist making a comment about the announced delay of BioShock 2 to FY2010, describing it as “pretty big”. He said, “They lowered guidance by US$ 0.80 – US$ 0.90, so that pretty much sums up the impact.
