Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Further Delayed
The highly-anticipated Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion for Xbox 360, has been even further delayed. Looks like the game isn’t coming out until 2006 (not holidays 2005 like we initially thought). Bethesda Softworks is aiming more for a March/April 2006 release. [via JeuxVideo]
Say it with me: Bastards!
Meanwhile, Take Two Interactive Software is lowering its fiscal 2005 guidance. Why? Partly because of the delay in launching Grand Theft Auto for PSP in certain European territories. Instead of the fourth quarter of 2005, the release has been moved to the first quarter of 2006.
The Press Release states:
Shipments of the title have been made to the UK in the fourth quarter, with the title expected to ship in the remaining European territories in late November. Additionally, the revised fiscal 2005 guidance reflects reduced sales of catalog products and lower than anticipated initial retailer orders of new releases, which have resulted in lower than expected sales in October of Take-Two’s published titles and in the Company’s Jack of All Games distribution business.
And it looks like Oblivion’s delay is also to blame:
For the first quarter ending January 31, 2006, $300 to $350 million in net sales and $0.04 to $0.10 in diluted net income per share. In addition to the factors mentioned above, the reduction in first quarter guidance also reflects the movement of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PC and Xbox 360 from the first quarter to the second quarter and the movement of the Japanese launch of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PlayStation 2 out of the first quarter and the fiscal year.
In honor of the crappyness of the situation, I’ve decided to create a new category: Things that suck.
