Rockstar's upcoming title Bully (PS2, Xbox) will be pushed from Fall 2005 to early 2006. However, both Rockstar's The Warriors (PS2, Xbox) and Firaxis Games' Civilization IV (PC) will be released within the current quarter, a bit earlier than expected.

On the less specific front, Take-Two announced that around this time next year, we can expect to see a "sequel of a Rockstar brand". It doesn't seem like it will necessarily be another GTA game, though, because Take-Two also revealed that in 2006 we will see "extensions of the Grand Theft Auto franchise".

Financially, Take-Two saw a 6% increase in sales over this quarter last year, up to $169.9M, but posted $28.8M in losses. This is in large part due to the fiscal woes associated with that whole Hot Coffee business. By certain accounts, though, the publisher made out alright--GameSpot reports that some expected Take-Two to lose significantly more.
