Apparently, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick recently said of EA that the publisher "“did a very good job of taking the soul out of a lot of the studios it acquired”. Well, EA's VP of corporate communications, Jeff Brown, responded with this:"The truth is, everyone laughed," Jeff Brown told Newsweek's Level up and continued with “It's too early to declare victory but if you talk to people like Patrick Soderlund at dice in Stockholm, Mark Jacobs at Mythic in Virginia or Josh Resnick at Pandemic - they'll probably tell you that it's working. They get a lot of resources and creative freedom. That freedom has already contributed new start-ups like Dead Space, Mirror's Edge and Boom Blox and there's a lot of others to be announced soon."

An article in Forbes entitled "How GTAIV Threatens The Wii," is now posted over at the Forbes website. According to the author, the Nintendo Wii has been reigning supreme, that is until the release of GTAIV. Take Two is expected to make $400 million USD alone in the first week of sales. And with the game being available on both PS3 and Xbox360, the Wii may suffer serious damage.

Microsoft has officially ceased its bid to acquire internet giant Yahoo. The takeover attempt was 33 USD per share, for a total value of 47.5 billion. The offer was rejected, and MS then threatened to start a proxy fight (a hostile takeover of sorts). It seems now though that things may just end without a war.

Take Two chairman Strauss Zelnick has stated that the company's plan to avodi takeover until after the release of GTAIV has worked. The outstanding sales of the title have pushed up the stock price of T2, which, in turn, drives up the potential buyout price. Clever plan.“The critical and consumer response to Grand Theft Auto IV vindicates our strategy of waiting until the launch with regard to E.A.’s offer,” said Zelnick in a New York Times interview.
