Wii Does a Take 2

The positive [aspect] for us is that we haven’t been a big player in the Nintendo platform. The reception that [the Wii] received at the E3 show is one that makes us take a real strong look at it. As we grow our sports business, there are opportunities with our sports games to extend them to the Wii system, particularly if you look at baseball, where we have an exclusive arrangement, as well as some of the other sports games that would play extremely well on the Wii product. And some of the 2K products will be, [that is,] have an opportunity on the Wii. It’s really a late ‘07, ‘08 opportunity for us, but it presents an additional revenue stream that we didn’t have before.” - Take-Two President and CEO Paul Eibeler

Nice words Mr. Eibler, now lets see some games!
