Pachter: Manhunt 2 is going to cost Take Two millions
The name Pachter should be familiar to anyone who follows the gaming news scene. If not, well he's Wedbush-Morgan's resident Nostradamus and he's saying the latest news involving Take Two and the country across the pond might've cost the company millions. Before this whole mess, he was predicting that Manhunt 2 would've generated $25 million this quarter, along with another $15 million in reorders. According to him, either Take Two can edit the game to become more in line with UK morals and the ESRB's M rating or ship it the way it is. Or, they could do something that much more crazy and cancel the game.
Either way, Take Two is going to be out some dough over this whole debacle. If they take the time to edit the game, it'll cost them more and if they ship it the way it is, they'll be cutting themselves out of a lot of potential revenue. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't, we suppose ...
