Take Two has been answering to its stockholders and analysts about in a conference call following its depressing outlook for 2009.

During the call, CEO Ben Feder states,"Our goals for fiscal 2010 include operating the company profitably on a Non-GAAP basis without a new multi-platform Grand Theft Auto release."

He reiterated the multi-platform nature of any new GTA release, stating, "Historically the franchise has been developed with initial multi-platform releases and then with incremental releases, in an array of ways. And I think we're following that here..."

The fact that he 'thinks' rather than 'knows' doesn't indicate that he's a poor figure of a CEO; it's merely corporate backside defending in the event that a deal is made with one of the platform holders some time in the next year for exclusivity.
