Pachter: New GTA in 'calendar 2010'

Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities, has reiterated that his company expects the next Grand Theft Auto title to hit shops sometime during calendar 2010.

Despite this forecast, Pachter noted that there’s a chance the game may not arrive before the end of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, stating, “While we still expect a GTA game in calendar 2010, it is not clear that the game will be released before the end of Take-Two’s fiscal year ending October 31."

Anthony Gikas of Piper Jaffray also chipped in on the matter, believing GTA V will be unleashed in fiscal 2011 – in other words, the 12 months beginning November 1, 2010. As it stands, Take-Two is keeping mum on the next installment in the mammoth selling crime franchise, so don't hold your breath for any new developments anytime soon.

    I'm betting on a 2011 release date. They want to hype Agent up to the level of GTA. A new GTA title could kill the hype for Agent.

    I bet he's right but not for like GTA 5 either a game like vice city and San andreas were or a PSP GTA even more likely

     anyone know how hard economics is ;)

     

    basing things off assumptions is all one can do.......in fact very few things in economics is based off actual fact. GDP, NPD, Game release dates, all made up using economic indicators.

     

    having said that. this guy seems to fit hesmanes painting lol. stating the obvious :)

    Home will be out of beta stage by 2015.

    Killzone & GT will be available on PS4 at some point.

    PSU attempting to start a flame war again.  This is NOT news, pure speculation.  Until T2 says it themselves, there is no GTAV

    His name is spelled Pachter, people...not Patcher.  P A C H T E R.

     

    Yes, his predictions are obvious predictions.  But he is an analyst.  And that's what they do.  They point out the obvious.

    who cares anyway? rockstar needs to start working on a new game. GTA got old a looong time ago. same crap. different place. San andreas was the last good GTA and i think all of those discs were screwed up cuz everyone i knew who had it their disc went bad... including mine.

    "While we still expect a GTA game in calendar 2010, it is not clear that the game will be released before the end of Take-Two’s fiscal year ending October 31" So while he expects it out for 2010, he is also saying it may not so he can cover himself incase it does\\\'t, so in reality this proves this man knows jack s**t and is just guessing?

    That\\\'s like me saying we will get some hot sunny days in the UK, but we may also get some rain?

    Patcher is sooo GTA fanboy. This is like his third prediction for next GTA release date. ROFL MAO

    One is for sure. Next big GTA won't be released faster than Agent. *Hey, I'm an analyst! Where's my money?*
